Nope - just a drunk guy who got beat up.
Though the sentiment is true : Can't we all just get along?!

I doubt it.
"Rodney Glen King (born April 2, 1965 in Sacramento, California) is a U.S. citizen and taxi driver who became famous after his violent arrest by officers of the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) was videotaped by a bystander, George Holliday.
The incident raised a public outcry among people who believed it was racially motivated. In an environment of growing tension between the black community and the LAPD as well as increasing anger over police brutality and more general issues of unemployment, racial tension, and poverty facing the black community in South Central Los Angeles the acquittal in a state court of the four officers charged with using excessive force in subduing King provided the spark that led to the 1992 Los Angeles riots."

I don't think that by making the statement "can't we all just get along" makes him a poet/philospher or scholar. Come on, we all learned that phrase on the kindergarden playground!
