- rodney king is not a public spokesman. he's not an activist.eating, and clearly he didn't know what to say. i mean, what is there to say? "you beat the shit out of me, and i'm still alive. **** you." that's what you should say. but he didn't say that. he said, "can we all get along?" and a lot of people didn't want to get along. - no justice, no peace. pano ai chooses t-mobile for business for 5g solutions... ...because t-mobile helps pano ai innovate, so they can stop the spread of wildfires. now's the time to see what america's largest 5g network can do for your business. ♪ i'm currently out of the office... focusing on a little blue-sky thinking. i'll be taking meetings... with family and friends. and checking voicemail... as my activities permit. i'll connect with you... after reconnecting with me. ♪ get 1.9% apr for 36 months plus $1,500 purchase allowance on a 2024 xt5 and xt6 when you finance through cadillac financial. ♪ and there he is. chaz. the rec league's self-crowned pickleball king. do you just bow down? no you de-thrown the king

and seeing that rodney king, the rodney king beating as horrible as it was, was the start of us sayingay, you know, there is a problem. >> what was previously in the shadows now was broadcast for all the world to see for nelson and schoon, this complex relationship goes beyond the officer's skin color. the research is clear that that black police officers was treat black citizens the same as other police officers. >> treat black citizens. put your hands behind your back. >> okay. i'm gonna knock your. >> you guys are really doing a lot right now. >> and that points to the fact that the issue here is really more systemic and that matters more than the complexion of the individual officer. >> one of the things we wanted to do again, was cut these incidents together so that you can't think, oh, it's just a bad cop or it's just a bad department or it's or this guy had a bad day, but that you see that that the institute in itself is not right. it needs to be fixed. >> the documentary begins and ends remembering a mere lock. >> i think about a mirror every day, all day. amir should be here.

but the first real video of police behaving inappropriate really was rodney king.but ironically, the defense of those officers during the rodney king event was that they were operating within the guidelines and training that they had received there was a defense. so today in, 2022, there were more of those videos available. but in the overall amount of police out there, there's still a relatively small percentage that up in police using force and within that percentage, about 1% actually end up in some type injury of the person being arrested. so that's very different than. when i came into the business in the 1970s, 97, new york city had 700 officer involved shooting incidents, police force of 35,000, city of seven and a half million people. last year, the city of new york had about 50 shooting incidents, most of them police responding to attacked or being shot at. and i think last year in a city of almost 9 million people, they took eight lives during the course of police action. so the city of memphis last year had almost as many murders as the city of new york

a recent of uc berkeley, had followed every of the rodney king case. but he wasn't thinking about the symbolism. a white police officer ordering, a black man to the ground. he was thinking, if this guy's willing to fight rather sit in a car while i write his buddy ticket, there must be something he doesn't want me to know. or find his other thought was, don't let them kill you on some dirty freeway. he called for cover. the driver also black and in his twenties, was out of the car. now to the passenger again made, a move toward the porch. this time, the officer grabbed him, pushed him against the hood of the chevy, intending to apply handcuffs. the man pulled loose and swung at the officer, clocking him on his cheek. the officer stumbled a couple of steps and drew's baton. few police had access tasers back then. the lapd officers assaulted rodney king were the exception, so batons were the best non lethal option. now the officer upped his radio request to code three cover for an emergency. sirens kicked on in the distance, along with the intermittent b

to stop violence we should use federal troops to restore order like we did in 1991 during the ro rodney king york times" newsroom momennews melted down that the leadership would publish that, they then caved and fired. and attached an editor note, they never claimed there is a single error in my o op-ed at the time, they claimed it didn't might their standards, it exceeded them, today given democratic crime wave across america you see democratic politics in areas like barbara waltedc calling for troops to be septemb sent in to restore law and order, media does not top hear alternative voices, and so-called reporters and journalists if their paper or station puts on an alternative voice for them is anyone to the right of center, they will march in protest, and rise up and fr try over throw that leadership, that is one reason we have unfreedom of the press, media marches in lockstep with the progressive left. mark: you mentioned national guardsmen, that some seas ncities are now asking for them, president trump offered national guards men to nancy pelosi and others in the democrat party, the m

before rodney king. you can look at all the instances where there are calls for change. i think we are involved in change right now in this moment that is going to be long lasting. it is very challenging. i was the victim of a crime when i was in middle school. some kids at recess came around at pe class and came to the locker room and tried to steal my watch and physically assaulted me. the officer that helped afterwards went out of his way to check the time to see how i was. that is the kind of work, the kind of perspective i like to have in our sheriff's office regardless of circumstance. that influenced me a lot. some of the storefronts have changed. what is mys is that i still see some things that trigger memories. the barbershop and the shoe store is another one that i remember buying shoestrings and getting my dad's old army boots fixed. we would see movies after the first run. my brother and i would go there. it is nice. if you keep walking down sacramento. the nice think about the city it takes you to japan town. that is where my grandparents were brought up. th

find no wrongdoing irrespective of the conduct, whether you're watching 20 officers or more beat rodney kinghing other clear missteps and atrocities, to always that we have done nothing wrong i think does not invite the conversation that we can have which can bridge the gap and build confidence through transparency. the city itself made a very different statement and their statement was they want to continue to improve the department, they want to have more training, and they want to take steps to make sure that things like what happened to mr. chamblee don't happen again. i think that is a more accurate and helpful statement. unfortunately, the statement of the pba, in my opinion, does not benefit the officers who work and the city of white plains or anywhere else. amy: kenneth chamberlain, i want to give you the last word, kenneth chamberlain come on that issue and any other you want to address right now. >> i would simply say that two years ago, the current district attorney conducted a review around the killing of my father to see if there could be any new charges brought forth. but that

those cases are by the united states department of justice, which following the beating of rodney king was granted to bring these of cases and. in fact, it was the lyons case that congress to give the department of justice this authority. but after opposition by union and other and others colleagues decided not to allow individuals like adolph lyons to bring these cases themselves. so seeking injunctive relief, forward looking is an important goal for many people who bring these cases. it is very difficult to, in our current system. so that's one aspect of our or trying to prevent in the future another would be if you created financial sanctions this sort of presumption about deterrence and lawsuits is that if are forced to pay or threatened with the the threat of having to pay out of your bank account, you will take steps to avoid that in the future and in fact that concern that officers will have to pay has motivated a lot of protections for officers when they're sued. but when i looked at police settlements and judgments in 81 jurisdictions across the country, a six year period, i f

simpson, you look at rodney king. know that when you have so much negative publicity, and clearly the fake news has been going after trump so much, that the guy can't get a fair trial. everyone knows that here. let's have a win-win. for the prosecutor, this is a win because it could remove a little bit of the stain that this is just a pure political prosecution. and, obviously, for president trump it's affording him that fairness that that he deserves, that every american deserves from our criminal justice system. maria: well, obviously, those are very different cases. but i want to get your take on this, the fairness. how would you assess merrick garland in terms of his role in fairness? >> look, i think merrick garland, thank god he's not on the u.s. supreme court, but he has been a disaster because he, of all people, employs a double standard the in terms of enforcing the rule of law. i'm looking at everything that hunter biden is doing and then i'm looking how they're targeting president trump, and there is not on

the tragedies of emmett till and rodney king are bloody markers on the same road.still today, too many of our officers play by the rules of the battle old days. it is beyond wrong when law abiding black parents have to tell their law abiding children to fear police who salaries are paid by their own taxes. and blacks are right to think is terribly wrong. when african-american men are many times more likely to be victims of than any other group in this country. when there are more african-american men in our corrections system, in our colleges, when almost one in three african-american men in their are either in jail, on parole, or otherwise under the supervision of the criminal justice system. nearly one in three. and that is a disproportionate percentage in comparison to the percentage blacks who use drugs in our society. now i would like every white person here and in america to take a moment, think how he or she would feel if one in three white men were in similar circumstances and there is still unacceptable economic disparity between blacks and whites. it is s

whole world witnessed less than three years later when lapd officers were caught on camera beating rodney king voice to countless black americans who were experiencing the same things across the country. that song put nwa in the fbi's crosshairs. in 1989, a spokesperson for the fbi said the group's record label a letter criticizing the song for, quote, violence against women disrespect for, law enforcement officers. the fbi spokesperson said i want you to be aware of the fbi's position relative to the song and his message. i believe my views reflect the opinion of the entire law enforcement community. at a show in detroit the same year, authorities told nwa specifically not to perform the song. well, they did it anyway. that shouldn't have been a surprise. what happened immediately afterwards was also predictable. the group says they were chased down by cops and held in a small room for an hour. hip-hop, more specifically, rap music, has always had an uneasy relationship with the law. it is chronicle the block experience, law enforcement, and the courts, the countless angles. it is called out
