In what should come as a complete surprise to no one, the Los Angeles Police Department finds itself at the doorway of another scandal.
News affiliates would love to hype this as Rodney King II: Electric Boogaloo, but the sorry fact is that no matter how offensive the act was, no matter how over-the-top the officer reacted... the viewing audience just collectively sighs and says "Again?", not out of shock or disgust, just out of not looking forward to the irritation and mess to follow. Self appointed 'figures in the community' are already clamoring for camera time and dusting off the speeches that they didn't get around to reading back in 1992.
Those of us with a pretty good memory will recall that not a whole lot has changed since the last go around. Those of us with not-so-good memories might want to check out "April 29th 1992" by Sublime.
I will be at Circuit City waiting to pick up my free TV. If the revolution is televised then I'll be sure and wave to the camera.
