-	'''Rodney Glen King''' (April 2, 1965 - June 17, 2012) was the victim in a [[police brutality]] case involving the [[Los Angeles]] [[Los Angeles Police Department|Police Department]] (LAPD) on March 3, 1991. A bystander, George Holliday, videotaped much of the incident from a distance.	+	{{DEFAULTSORT:Holliday, George}}
-		+	[[Category:2021 deaths]]
-	The footage showed seven officers surrounding the solitary King, with several LAPD officers repeatedly striking a helpless King with their batons while the other officers stood by watching, without taking any action to stop the beating. A portion of this footage was aired by news agencies around the world, causing public outrage that increased tension between the local black community and the LAPD and increased anger over [[police brutality]], [[racism]] and [[social inequalities]] in Los Angeles.	+

-	Four LAPD officers were later tried in a [[Los Angeles County Superior Court|state court]] for the beating; three were acquitted and the jury failed to reach a verdict for the fourth. The announcement of the acquittals sparked the [[1992 Los Angeles riots]]. A later [[United States District Court for the Central District of California|federal trial]] for [[civil right]]s violations ended with two of the officers found guilty and sent to prison and the other two officers acquitted.	+
