Just been reading up on the lad since nooly's suggestion to have him on the cover of the cop commemoration comp. Any know this:

On November 29, 2007, while going home King was shot in the face, arms, back and torso with birdshot by two thieves attempting to steal his bicycle, but his injuries were characterized as not life threatening.

[the strange guy]

In July 1995, he was arrested by Alhambra police, who alleged that he hit his wife with his car, knocking her to the ground.

Sounds like he deserved a few smacks.
The cops just got the chronology wrong.

Whaddya mean, what's wrong with knocking your wife down in the car? She probably deserved it like.

 

[nooleen]

you don't understand...he hit her, with the car
