Rodney King (Netflix Trailer)
April 17, 2017
Spike Lee with another Joint. Can you believe it has been 25 years since the uprising over the “Rodney King” verdict (that exonerated the LAPD cops that beat the F**K out of him)? Given recent events, you likely think:Â ‘Damn. It has been 25 years since we thought the police beatdowns should have been over… and they STILL aren’t over.’ Watch this trailer and get ready for another hot-blooded summer, courtesy of Netflix and Spike Lee.
His story shook the world and lit LA on fire. Now it comes to life in a powerful one-man show.
Compelling presentation & performance by Roger Guenveur Smith.

Thurz (of U-N-I) – ‘Rodney King’ (Video)
March 3, 2011
Hard to believe the Rodney King verdict that caused the L.A. riots happened just 20 years ago today. For me it seems like almost yesterday. Thurz, 1/2 of of the Inglewood California rap group U-N-I , decided to deliver this at the appropriate time to remind the heads about that day in L.A. the country will never forget. THURZ is also scheduled to drop a solo album called LA Riots. TheRiotStartsHere.com
