Hi Joan,
He was not paid money for breaking the law. He was paid money as
compensation for pain and suffering that was due to the police breaking
the law. That is an important distinction. And, as I understand it, the
guy who made the most money is his lawyer. I don't think King is any
better off from his experience with the LAPD. Money is certainly not the
answer to his problems, but our laws do hold people responsible for
monetary remuneration to compensate for pain and suffering due to an
unlawful act. Even for acts that are lawful but deemed culpatory.
Again, we have to try to separate our bias against King because of who
and what he is and really look at the actions of everyone in this
incident to draw a reasonable conclusion about it, IMO.
