        I was a young adult at the time (born in 66 so GenX for whatever it’s worth). My take is the LAPD as a whole were despised and not just along racial lines. Watch any documentary on the early SoCal punk scene and you’ll see what I mean

        I’m even old enough to see him play in the NFL. Although I have zero memories of that time as a child. Even though the Patriots and Buffalo would’ve played together.

        I was, but I was very young and on the other side of the planet. All I remember is allegations that he was on sedatives during thebtrial, as he seemed so calm and composed about it all.

      Maybe it’s just the communities I frequent, but I’ve found the average age of lemmy/kbin to be quite a bit higher than reddit the last 5 or so years
