Were the cops in imminent danger after the first 2-3 rounds of 5 batons? That's debatable. . . also, was there any bloodwork done on King after the beating? PPM on the Angel Dust?
Once again. . . fine line between procedure and clown shoes. . .

^I hear people say that, but then where's the Robert Blake protesters
And here's another thought, if Nicole and Ron were black would anyone care
My thoughts on the situation are hey, if a legal system that is/was/has been historically favorable to "whites" let a prominent black man off the hook, then hey Fawk it
Truthfully nobody but OJ and God knows if he's guilty. Yes there was substantial evidence against him, but hey don't forget about Rodney King who had his beat down on tape and those cops got off
So as a black man, my opinion is - Did OJ do it, IMO probably. Do I care? Not really That's "our" 1 victory out of countless injustices 
thatguyjosh you hit the nail right on the head

I don't think Rodney had appropriate force used against him. That said, I think he's a huge piece of trash and I don't care that he got more than deserved. It's a good thing we aren't cops, because clearly several of us would've beat the stink out of him. That said, it is the police officers' responsibility to NOT do what we would.
I honestly have no consideration of a person's race when determining whether they are guilty or innocent.
Interesting side note: There are definitely similarities about how different races commit crimes. It's funny because in SO many situations you can guess whether someone is white or black based on the nature of the crime and how they executed it. I think it's funny at least
White people are bad criminals unless it's fudging numbers or lying in a corporate environment. I think it's funny at least

To the OP of this thread...Al Sharpton is busy with trying to bring back hip hop into the society. He was on BET with a few hip hop artists trying to bring back hip hop and such. I'm sure once he's done with that he'll be by OJ's side.
BTW....whatever happened to OJ's kids?

I forgot which comedian it was who said something like when black people watch the news and hear of a crime they are angry at the perp when it's a black person, but when they hear that it's a crazy serial killer they don't worry because they are always white.
