And most Southern Californians didn't seem to care after the initial showing of it. I wonder how immune we are all getting to police violence. In 1991, the Rodney King tape was a shock to the Los Angeles system and people were appalled. Now, we're just excusing this level of violence. It now takes a concerted effort to keep these stories in the news, even the local news, that seems hell-bent on providing celebrity fluff and PR videos from fast food corporations.
