Crowds. And tom bradley asked governor wilson to send in the national guard. Hello everyone and welcome to second look. Im frank somerville. The protests that happened last week come from many years ago. The grainy video included indisputable proof of police brutality. Reporter it began with a 100mile an hour chase according to the Highway Patrol and ended with Los Angeles Police officers beating clubbing and stomping on the head of a 25yearold black man, rodney king. He was lying face down, spread out. And when he was in that position then they started hitting him. At that point he got up and tried to get away thats when i got out with a camera and started filming. Reporter witnesses including the man who shot this video tape says king who was booked for speeding and avoiding arrest offered no resistance. They said the beating went on for more than a minute. I was just amazed of what was happening. I was thinking what in the heck could he have done to deserve such punishment. Reporter
