	== Difference in people killed and injured ==

	In the 2nd paragraph the Rodney King acticle states that "The rioting lasted six days, during which 53 people were killed and 2,373 were injured;", referring to the 1992 Los Angeles riots. It provides no link for evidence. The wikipedia article on the 1992 Los Angeles riots states that 63 people died and 2383 people were injured and it does provide a reference to support it. Should the number of deaths and injured be changed to match that of the 1992 Los Angeles riots article? <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 08:25, 7 March 2018 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

	== RE: Lede ==

	The lede is supposed to be a simple summary of the article body. More specific details, such as the fact that King was drunk, should be mentioned in the main body of the article--which it already is. ] (]) 05:48, 19 October 2018 (UTC)

The video and Rush Limbaugh

Rush Limbaugh was the first (probably only) person in the media in 1992 to show the complete, unedited video which showed King attacking the police officers. I saw it on his short lived 30 minute late night TV show. Seeing the *complete* video changed my mind about the incident, like the article mentions was the jurors reaction to it.Bizzybody (talk) 06:01, 17 May 2019 (UTC)

Better video of news conference

The current cited video of the news conference is this, which is a brief excerpt. Recently this was added, but I removed it because it the video has been edited to remove the middle of the statement. This shows the entire statement, but it's hosted at a personal YouTube account. Can anybody find archival footage directly from news media that shows the entire statement? I didn't find any on archive.org. —NilsTycho (talk) 17:29, 13 June 2020 (UTC)
