The most recent info from Wikipedia on Rodney King is:

Quote:

After the riots King was awarded $3.8 million in a civil case, and used some of the money to start a hiphop music label, Alta-Pazz Recording Company.[7] He subsequently moved to Fontana, California. King also made a cameo on an episode of BET's ComicView.

He was arrested again for spousal assault in 1999. In 2001, he was then ordered to undergo a year of drug treatment after pleading guilty to three counts of being under the influence of phencyclidine and [one] of indecent exposure.[8]

On August 27, 2003, he was arrested again on similar charges as in 1991. It is alleged that King was speeding, ran a red light while under the influence of alcohol and failed to yield to police officers.[9]

However, these will always be the images engrained on the pop culture psyche of people that followed the news at that time:

And this will always remain on the record:

Quote:

The acquittal triggered the massive 4-day Los Angeles riots of 1992, one of the most intense civil disturbances in LA history. By the time the police, US Army, Marines and National Guard restored order, there was nearly $1 billion in damage and "55 deaths; 2,383 injuries; more than 7000 fire responses; 3,100 businesses damaged." (Smith, Anna Deavere)

Smaller riots occurred in other US cities. On May 1, 1992, the third day of the LA riots, King appeared in public before television news cameras to appeal for calm, asking, "People, I just want to say, you know, can we all get along?"[6]
