Yes, I saw it in its entirety when it was played late night (only). Didn't see a "pants down" anything nor a female officer. What I saw was a belligerent man who was tasered then being routinely cuffed start throwing the police officers around like they were rag dolls with one that was sailing through the air, arms flailing, who then slammed into the hood/windshield (it didn't break) of a parked car firmly etched into my mind. He fought them until he was wrestled to the ground. The rest, ie, the officers whacking him if he moved, was shown repeatedly on television news. The full film changed me from a outraged at the police person (in regards to this case) to an outraged at the lying "news" person.

Why? People would have seen that the police did nothing wrong and there would have been no outrage so no story so less money.

Video featuring a pantless Rodney King, sexually assaulting a female officer is bogus urban legend; NO female officers were on scene of the infamous incident.

Unproven theories contend that BLACK RACISTS worked with network TV news media ( today, it's a given SCORES of BLACK RACISTS are EMPLOYED inside network TV and print news media ) to distort facts of the King matter to

a) suit BLACK RACIST agenda---decrying POLICE BRUTALITY

b) air the 10 second "cropped" police video---and boost network TV and print news media ratings....and advertising profit$.

One hand washed the other---and in the process, ignited the equally infamous LA riot, that killed some 50 rioters and caused nearly a BILLION DOLLAR$ in business property damage.

Didn't do much to project a positive image for BLACK PEOPLE, either.

Had the FULL length police video been aired on TV---there would be NO basis to contend King was beaten by LAPD for no meriting reason(s).

One would think the whole ugly matter and it's aftermath would serve a good lesson to aspiring news journalists of the dangers of deliberate distortion of newsworthy events....but sadly, such lessons are pretty much ignored today.

Rodney king was a retarded thug, he had that beating coming. You don't try to fight 4 cops, all of whom have been working 14+ hour shifts and who you've led on a 2 hour car chase. If the internet were around back then the rodney king case would have never gotten off the ground, the full tape would be leaked and King would go to jail like the thug he was and all would have been right with the world. Look at Trayvon Martin, the media wanted to make him a saint, but we were all able to find out the truth about him.

There is no video of him doing that with a female officer. The long version video is all over the web.

Supposedly he charged police officers (twice?) and even dropped his pants and attempted to (assault?) a female officer.

Question is - was any of that on the videotape? Have any of you seen any of that? Or were those just lies made up to justify a savage instance of police brutality?

Because all I remember is that the media played the same 10 seconds of the tape over and over again, just showing police pummeling the guy who was clearly down.

But the tape was much, much longer, wasn't it? So why weren't we allowed to see the rest of it?
