Think Rodney King was an isolated event?
* The New York Times, May 13, 1997, snipped
* "Police Chief Says Officers Violated Policy in Beating", by Kevin Sack

* Atlanta's police chief concedes the videotaped beating of an African-
* American shows it violated departmental rules.

* Timmie Sinclair, 27, is a black Atlantan. Five officers surrounded him
* and one Sergeant "repeatedly bludgeoned with a baton" Mr. Sinclair while
* he was being handcuffed, and at least once while the other officers held
* him down on the ground.
*
* Mr. Sinclair was trying to fill a prescription for his sick child,
* became confused by all the roadblocks the Atlanta police setup for
* the annual "Black College Spring Break" weekend, and was attacked
* by the police for trying to get back on the Interstate highway.
*
* Mr Sinclair's wife and two children were in his car with him.
Think that would have happened to a white family during this annual Black
