Hi Bill,
I cannot disagree with your premise that the lowest of criminal felons
has basic legal rights, but feel certain that it does not apply in the RK
case. King did resist arrest by repeatedly trying to get up after he was
on the ground and the cops did what they had to do to be sure he
wassubdued IMO. These are not "rogue cops". I do not believe you or I
would have done any differently under the circumstances.
To ruin police officers lives for trying to do their job because public
opinion is running against them as a result of a video taken during the
most heated part of the arrest is surely the most tragic aspect of this
incident.
