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)

Popular culture reference

"Can't we all just get along?"

Was also referenced in the film Naked Gun 33 1⁄3: The Final Insult. Don't know if it worth including. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.144.45.106 (talk) 12:05, 19 July 2020 (UTC)

It isn't. Zaathras (talk) 20:47, 19 July 2020 (UTC)

Reginald Denny-

There is no mention of the attack on Reginald Denny, the truck driver who was severely beaten during the aftermath of the police trials. It has its own Misplaced Pages page; but it should at least be referenced from here. Cross Reference (talk) 14:43, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
