Rodney King Dead at Age 47

Posted by Jerry Bader on

Found dead in his swimming pool. No signs of foul play. After the acquittal of officers accused of beating him, King, in calling for calm as L.A. burned, uttered the now culturally iconic "can we all get along." Twenty some years later the question resonates and remains unanswered. And all these years later many still see rioting as a justified means of "political expression."
