Funny how most people have no idea about the entire tape of that incident. King was originally pulled over by a female CHP officer, and he wasn't complying with her demands at all, so she drew her weapon. The LAPD got wind of this and made it to the scene and took over. King wasn't targeted - the police tactics were directed at keeping him down because he [being 6'6"] kept getting up, jacked up on alcohol and drugs, and he was almost superhuman at that point. Interesting how that never got out to the general public.
