Thirty years ago today, Rodney King was brutally beaten by officers of the LAPD. The beating – caught on tape by a bystander – shocked much of the nation at a time when videos of police brutality were rare. The case became a grim historical milestone and a symbol of the tortured relationship between police and Black and Brown Americans. 30 years later, that relationship remains fraught. | NPR
