You’re talking to someone from LA. In fact, my sister’s plumber is George Halliday, the guy who shot the Rodney King beating tape.

He’s still camera shy because of all the pro-cop death threats he got. Only made $500 selling the tape to our local TV station, KTLA.

All one needs do is watch the tape. He was absolutely no threat to the cops.
