Rodney is Rehabbed

Rodney King signed an autograph yesterday saying, ‘Can We All Get Along’ after having dinner at Caretta Cafe and Restaurant in Beverly Hills, California yesterday. Rodney mentioned that he had not been in Los Angeles County for about 10 years as he chatted with our photographer. Rodney was looking youthful and happy. Rodney King, in 1991, was the victim of excessive police brutality committed by Los Angeles Police Officers, which sparked the 1992 Los Angeles Riots. There was footage showing LAPD officers repeatedly striking Rodney Glen King with their batons, of which a portion of the footage was aired by news agencies around the world causing public outrage that raised tensions between the black community and the LAPD and increased anger over police brutality and issues such as unemployment, racial tension, and poverty in the black community.
