Somehow I do not find Officer Lewis very credible in his descriptions of King, if we remember the lies the other cops told when they originally beat him...

Really? Were the cops from the original beating there?  Nope. I believe they were all removed.  So it's the presence of Rodney King that makes cops corrupt....interesting....

I had a friend that lived in LA with biracial kids, and the way her kids were targetted as teens because of the area she lived in made her move away..

So you figure King's story of "I dunnow how this buckshot got in me" is plausible then?  Do you, personally, find it unlikely that he was drunk when it happened?

It is not against the law to be drunk and shot in your own home... I think most of us would be hard to deal with under the circumstances...Are you going to be "easy" to deal with if you are wounded and drinking? I just find it humorous how the cop had to state that, if it had been anyone else I doubt he would have

I didn't say it was against the law.  I pointed out your assumption they were lying was a bit unfounded given the information we know about him.  That's all.

I looked at your profile, how is it working for you being a racist Nazi in Seattle? I can imagine it would be hard making friends
