Loading ...The beating of Rodney King sparked international outrage when the video was released. On March 3, 1991, he was the victim of the excessive force of the LAPD. Luckily George Holliday (an innocent bystander) video taped the majority of the incident. In the video, you’ll see the officers beating Rodney King senseless with their batons.
After the incident, the LAPD officers were acquitted, and because of that, the 1992 Los Angeles Riots happened.
