Just because six white cops beat up a doped unruly black man
who was fighting them, does NOT make it a racist incident.

If the 6 male cops didn't show up on the scene Rodney King might be dead. The first officer to confront him a woman, when he acted agressivly she probably would have shot him if the other officers didn't take control. Once they took control they where probably going to have to use some violence but at least he didn't get shot. However after using a justified if seemingly extreme level of violence they probably kept it going a bit too long.
