Hi, I just undid the most recent revision, which itself undid a revision which undid a claim which appears to be original research at best.
The content in question was originally added in 1014453158 and 1014453349. "My father Dr. Snowden [...] from the LAPD", as cited in the edit summary, even if true, is not a reliable source. It also contradicts the article body.

From the section "Aftermath":
"Blood and urine samples were taken from King five hours after his arrest. The blood alcohol content (BAC) from King's test samples was 0.075%, indicating he would not have been legally intoxicated under California law, BAC legal limit 0.08%, at the time of his arrest."
As it stands, it's nonsense, because a blood alcohol content of 0.075% five hours after arrest would mean a blood alcohol content far over 0.08% at the time of arrest. I can't correct this because I don't know whether it's the "five hours" that is wrong, or the "not" in "not have been intoxicated", or the numbers. Someone who has this info please fix.
