King's reaction to lenient sentences for officers in beating case
Rodney King criticized the 2 1/2 year sentences given to Officers Powell and Koon, saying harsher penalties would be expected for civilians. He noted some relief at any prison time while joining federal prosecutors and black leaders in condemning the perceived racial disparity. The judge cited King’s role in provoking the attack, and Powell and Koon were to report to prison on September 27. Police kept the city calm as calls for appeals and protests mounted. NAACP leaders decried the sentences as a double standard of justice based on race.
