I've heard that this instance of police brutality is bad, like, worse than Rodney King. Be safe, be kind.

I read a quote from someone who watched it that said it made Rodney King video look like a game of tag.

I've heard the same, tonight may be an interesting night and not in a good way.

It reminds many of us who were alive and remember it very clearly, of the 1991 Rodney King video release. Most of us will never forget it.

Of course it’s worse than Rodney King. King survived.

Well, by that logic all the murders by police after Rodney King beating were worse. Rodney King is actually a rare case of the victim surviving. Most of them die. You think the cops want a witness? Take off the uniforms and this would be called a gang beating

Well yeah, I’m not taking anything away from the King beating and how despicable it was, but yes any police beating after King or even before is automatically worse when it results in the death of the victim.
