Родни Кинг ісінің салдары және Стенли Кунның тағдыры

American criminal and former police officer (born 1950)
Koon wrote a book in 1992 about the incident, entitled “Presumed Guilty: The Tragedy of the Rodney King Affair” in which he defended his actions and blamed the riots on the media and community leaders.

In November 1995, a gunman, 35 year old Randall Tolbert, entered a halfway house where Koon was completing the final weeks of his prison sentence and demanded to know where Koon was. Koon was away from the facility, on a holiday pass at the time. The gunman took three hostages, one of whom was 67 year old Karl Milam. After fatally shooting Milam, Tolbert was shot and killed by the sheriff's SWAT team during a shootout.

Koon eventually moved to Castaic, north of Los Angeles. Both Koon and fellow LAPD officer Laurence Powell have been used as symbols of racism in hip hop and related music. He is referenced by rap metal band Rage Against the Machine in their song "Vietnow," and is mentioned in Ice Cube's songs "Really Doe" and "We Had to Tear This Motherfucka Up". Koon was also namechecked in The Simpsons episode "Sideshow Bob Roberts" by conservative commentator Birch Barlow as an example of someone "railroaded by our liberal justice system" alongside Sideshow Bob, Oliver North, and Joe Camel. He was parodied twice in 1993 by Jim Carrey on the American sketch comedy television series In Living Color. In 2007, Time magazine profiled Koon as it marked the 15th anniversary of the riots. Koon pleaded no contest and received a sentence of three years' probation and was required to install an alcohol interlock on his vehicle.
