WHERE IS HE NOW? Seventeen years ago today, Rodney King was severely beaten by Los Angeles police officers in an incident that was caught on tape by an amateur videographer. A year later, four policemen involved in the city were acquitted, and we all know what happened next. So where is Rodney "Can't We All Just Get Along" King now?

The last we heard from King, back in November of last year, he had been shot in the face and body with a pellet gun and drunkenly bicycled for a mile before calling the police. At next year's anniversary of his tragic beating, let's hope there's something in the update about him joining AA.
