Rodney King Shot

Can't we all just get along?

SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. - Rodney King, whose videotaped police beating in 1991 led to deadly rioting when the officers involved were acquitted, was shot on a street corner, but his wounds were not life-threatening, police said.

King, 42, was shot two or three times from a distance by birdshot fired from a shotgun. He then bicycled about 1 1/2 miles back to his home in neighboring Rialto and called police. King was hit in the face, arms, back and torso, police said.

Authorities said when they arrived at the home, King and others appeared drunk and were largely uncooperative in providing information about the shooting. (H/T - Yahoo!)

I wonder if anyone has a videotape of this incident? According to police sources, the shooting may be linked to a domestic incident. Go figure. I say - if and when the doer is exposed - we all march on San Bernardino, arm-in-arm with Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, to protest this despicable act.

Who's with me?
