The 2017 film Rodney King, a one-man show produced by Spike Lee, alternately takes and opposes King's side. According to The Cinemaholics, Koon, a former sergeant of the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), rose to prominence after the Rodney King beating. A Highway Patrol trooper, in 1991, saw King driving a white Hyundai Excel at speeds of above 100 miles per hour. Following this, Koon and the other cops chased King in an attempt to apprehend him. For his part in the Rodney King incident, Koon was given a 30-month prison sentence. Koon was targeted in a failed assassination attempt, in 1995, while he was out on a vacation. Koon got a job with a limousine service after he got out of jail. a b King, Rodney (2012). The Riot Within: My Journey from Rebellion to Redemption. HarperCollins Book. Steve Myers (March 3, 2011).

After the acquittals and the riots, the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) sought indictments of the police officers for violations of King's civil rights. On May 7, federal prosecutors began presenting evidence to the federal grand jury in Los Angeles. On August 4, the grand jury returned indictments against the three officers for "willfully and intentionally using unreasonable force" and against Sergeant Koon for "willfully permitting and failing to take action to stop the unlawful assault" on King. Based on these indictments, a trial of the four officers in the United States District Court for the Central District of California began on February 25, 1993. [57] Serrano, Richard A.

I like to think Frank Sinatra hit on the same sense in 'Every Thing Happens To Me', on a much lighter note, of course. In a radio interview during Sting's 'Soul Cages' tour, the interviewer categorized many of Sting's songs as 'obsessive/compulsive', to which Sting replied that he was "no stranger to those feelings".
