On March 3, 1991, Rodney King was driving on the Foothill Freeway in California with two friends after they had watched a basketball game and had been drinking.
King was speeding. Police officers tried to pull him over. A chase ensued, sometimes reaching as much as 117 mph. As the pursuit continued, other officers joined. Eventually King was cornered. He and his passengers were ordered out of the vehicle.
The passengers got out and did as they were told but were kicked and threatened, according to reports.
