Police are expected, no, required to be professional in carrying out the duties of their profession. There is no justification for their actions in the Rodney King situation. I would, however, condone the use of a sniper during something like the Reginald Denny beating.
Was a very small fire extinguisher then. Could've sworn a brick was thrown at him from a very close distance.(Just looked at it on YouTube. A fire extinguisher and a brick were thrown at him).

Neither should've happened but Denny was the innocent man in this.

Latest FBI Crime Statistics:In 2015, a police officer was 18.5 times more likely to be killed by a black male than an unarmed black male was to be killed by a police officer. In 2016, there was a 53 percent increase in gun murders of officers. Is it any wonder that racial stereotyping exists in police service? In a war zone, the infantry isn't condemned for reacting to a perceived threat from a 'stereotypical' enemy. Their reaction is justified for survival.
These anthem protestors aren't solving anything. BLM members declare war on police, calling for an armed resistance. THAT is what the NFL should be protesting and condemning. Bring a solution to the debate, otherwise all you're doing is adding fuel to the fire.
And as horrible as the shooting in Las Vegas is, look at the stats in Chicago alone since January 2016. Almost 1300 dead, thousands wounded. Very few of those by cops.

It's unfair to compare the two-----blacks generally don't like country music.
Who's comparing? There's a huge tragedy happening in numerous cities, especially in Chicago, and nothing is done about it.

When those cops assume the worst in some people, an unarmed person is killed. My last post was just before Las Vegas. Another White male took up arms and slaughtered hundreds of innocent people, killing 58(if you believe only 58). Do you thing police are going to be "Proactive" shaking down middle aged white men? Maybe even shooting them if they move the wrong way with their child in the car? Of course not. Fear and hate is what drives many LEOs and thanks to the Fox news jurors, no cop will ever be convicted of a murder. Well maybe that Black Somali cop who executed that White Australian women in Minnesota. If the job is so hard, get the hell out. We've plenty of brave and fearless Vets with wartime experience. Give me those men. Not some scared little boys who's father or uncle got him hired onto the force.

And Denny should have stepped on the gas and did what he had to do. I was sickened by what he when through and nobody would have blamed him for running over idiots burning down where they live.

No. What happened to Reginald was worse. He did nothing wrong. Rodney had committed a traffic offense if memory serves me. He didn't deserve to get beaten but Reginald did NOTHING wrong prior to his beating.
As we would later find out. Rodney King was indeed a heathen. In and out of trouble.

Denny was worse. The man was only trying to do his job. King was racing through the Los Angeles area reaching speeds of 100MPH to avoid the police. He finally pulled over and the cops job wasn't to pass sentence in that street but to arrest him and let the courts have at him. Denny/King is not equal.

Try going to church and giving your God (even he it is a doorknob) your hate.
The reason you feel this way is because you hate yourself.

Denny was simply in the wrong place at the the wrong time. Was it friend* up ? Yeah. But had these cops actually treated King like a human being and done their jobs as they were trained to, Denny probably would've had a regular day on the road.
