To protect and serve (the $#!+ out of you)

"You must be older than the second Rodney King trial to be served in this establishment."


Yeah... uh, there doesn't seem to be real footage on Youtube.  Anyway, after the Simi Valley jury of retired Irish cops decided the four LAPD cops were within their rights to beat Rodney King within an inch of his life, the feds took over and charged the four---not with attempted murder or aggravated assault, but with a civil rights violation.

The federal trial ended with two of the four acquitted and two convicted and sentenced to thirty months in prison.  Somehow, if Yakov Smirnov had a reaction, I must have missed it.
