About this deal

On the videotape, Wind could be seen using his baton to strike King multiple times. Prior to the assault of King, Wind was a well-regarded rookie officer. Despite the fact that he was cleared of all accusations, he was dismissed from his position with the LAPD, and he has had a hard time putting the past behind him. In 1994, he was given a job as a community relations officer with the police department of the little Los Angeles suburb of Culver City, and he remained in that position until the year 2000, when he relocated to Indiana so that he could attend law school there. According to public documents from 2017, it appears that he currently resides in Kansas. Ted Briseno

During the three-hour sentencing hearing, US District Judge John G. Davies accepted much of the defense version of the beating. He strongly criticized King, who, he said, provoked the officers' initial actions. Davies said that only the final six or so baton blows by Powell were unlawful. The first 55 seconds of the videotaped portion of the incident, during which the vast majority of the blows were delivered, was within the law because the officers were attempting to subdue a suspect who was resisting efforts to take him into custody.

The Medal is made by Worcestershire Medal Service Ltd in Birmingham. Matt from West Springfield, Ma I love this entire album. This is maybe my favorite song on the album. One thing that I love about the songs on "Synchronicity" is that Sting's inner teacher kind of comes out. Maybe not on purpose, but, it does none the less. Its widely known that Synchronicity is based on the studies of Carl Jung, but, he also makes references to other literary works. He refers to the Scylla and Charybdis in "Wrapped Around your Finger" which is in reference to "The Odyssey" and in this song, the line, "there's a king on a throne with his eyes torn out" could be seen as a reference to Oedipus from Sophocles' "Oedipus the King." Just thought it was interesting. Not only that, but now I can mention the greatest band in the world in my research paper!
