Did anyone actually read Stacy Koon's (one of the officers) book? He said in there that when he found out there was a video of the incident, he thought, "good; this will make a good training video."
I don't know how many have seen the FULL video of the incident, including the parts of King lunging at the officers repeatedly. And anyone can have their own opinion about whether the LAPD policy at the time, which the officers LARGELY followed, was proper. But this was one of the first times in American history where the dishonesty of the media in not playing the entire tape and not allowing all the facts to come out lead to the deaths of over 60 people.
In 2020, the BLM protests were staged and ready to go at a moment's notice. They just needed an incident to get started. They knew there would be something that occurred during the summer. If not, they'd come up with something a few weeks before the conventions. How else could multiple cities organize "rallies" in such a short time -- especially during a pandemic?
