This time, Rodney King wants a cop to beat him up
I don't know why we can't just all get along, but a cop is set to beat up Rodney King again.
Ok, so maybe that's a bit harsh, but King didn't fare too well the last time he entered the national spotlight.
If you recall, a bunch of cops beat him to a pulp at the end of a chase, touching off a mess for the LAPD, cop trials, and eventual riots in the city.
Well, now King is set to battle former Chester, Pa. police officer Simon "The Renegade" Aouad in a celebrity fight next month. Get your tickets now.
This just can't be a good idea. We all know what happened to King's face last time.
Aouad is 6-feet and 215 pounds and has a 36-0 record in tough man fights. Oh, and that includes 34 knockouts.
King is 6 foot 4, 250.
They are calling this the "Battle for Justice."
