Rodney King, testifying Monday in his lawsuit against the city of Los Angeles, said his 1991 videotaped beating by four police officers made him feel as if he'd been "raped." King said: "I could hear my bones crunching every time the baton hit me. It sounded like throwing an egg and hearing the shell crack." King said he thought police beatings were common. "I just happened to run into the wrong pack of dogs, police officers," he said. King, reportedly seeking $ 9.5 million, has rejected a $ 1.25 million settlement offer from the city, which has admitted liability. Damages will be decided by the jury.
