The cops were acquitted during the first trial which led to the mostly peaceful LA riots in 1992. Then Daddy Bush wanting to placate the black population had those same officers tried for 'civil rights violations'. 2 out of the 4 were convicted and sent to prison. Rodney King and George Floyd - two dudes strung out on drugs resisting arrest, but the cops are the bad guys. I bet everyone of the cops involved in these two incidences wished they had called in sick that day.
Not just a law, it’s a Constitutional protection. However, didn’t the cops who beat up Rodney King get tried a 2nd time after they were convicted?
The game was rigged. You could throw the laws out the window back then.
