In some states (ie Pennsylvania), it is illegal to record (ie on a cell phone camera) a cop doing his job. If it is not photographed, then there will be no Rodney Kings.

I'm not sure if that is really a cause/effect situation or more of a coincidence. I mean, who is really going to name their kid Rodney King in this day and age?

In one year, the name Kunta Kinte replaced Michael as the most popular boy's name.

Still waiting to meet a Kunta Kinte.

Sorry tw, but that is too easy to prove false.

No names starting with the letters "kun" have ever been in the top 1000 most popular names in the US.
