Is Barrymore a suspect?

I know i shouldnt but...

Maybe the LAPD came back and finished him off as they looked like they wanted to do in the infamous video.

he managed to fleece the state for £4m (ish) as well.

hardly worthy of an RIP thread

$4m for a beating so bad you get brain damage and broken bones?

If the state doesnt want to pay $4m (ish) to people like Rodney King, it would be advisable not to employ people who would think the best way to subdue someone is to hit them 56 times with a baton, having already shot them with a taser when they outnumber them 6 to 1.

koshed him with his love truncheon ?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rodney_King Quite a interesting character.

Nobody deserves anything unless you've worked hard for it. It was the police who put all the effort in and King walks away with millions. Motivated by jealousy if you ask me.

Good ridence

I'd wager he was more literate than you

Ha ha ha

His death means nothing to me either way, sounds like he was just another criminal scumbag who thought the world owed him a living, and was prepared to (eg) assault innocent and terrified shopkeepers to rob them of their hard earned, not to mention (beating his wife (running her down with a car, in fact).

Yes he was wrongly and badly beaten by the police, for which he was way over-compensated (you wouldn't get that even for being left quadraplegic in this country). I would suggest a better RIP thread would have been for the 50+ innocent people who lost their lives in the Rodney King riots. Ah, but those rioters were upset at lots of things, so causing the incidental death of dozens of innocents is understandable, if you're upset, I expect.

Surely thats just wrong on our side than theres. Im not sure any of us would feel $4m was generous for being given Brain Damage was a good deal, and even fewer would see losing the use of our arms and legs as worth only $4m. Its probably more us undercompensating than the typical american litigiousness.

this

Good riddance

Maybe he should have spent more time learning to swim than being a smart ar*e then!
