Sean Bell Verdict
 

With all due respect to the moderators of this boards and all readers. I am full of disbelief and sad emotion right now! I live in NYC (Queens to be exact) and I know most of you just like me can understand the sense of outrage we feel right now.

I AM UTTERLY SPEECHLESS :eek:AT THIS VERDICT. ALTHOUGH, I AM NOT SURPRISED BECAUSE I HAD A EERY FEELING THAT THEY WERE GOING TO WALK (I.E. AMADOU DIALLO, MALCOLM FERGUSON, ANTHONY BAEZ, ELEANOR BUMPERS, MICHAEL STEWART.....THE LIST GOES ON AND ON....

Life again as we know it has been shaken to its foundation because once again the justice system shows that our lives as Black people means s--t. The time to organize is now, we must do better in '08. (Like the final scene in School Daze) Wake up my people...wake up. This is not a joke!:mad:

I read the news story, but am having trouble understanding. Synopsis, please?

This verdict had been decided long before the trial even began. I would have been surprised if the cops had been prosecut

W.T.H. :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

No comment. No freaking comment. My brain can barely absorb the story, let alone the outcome. It's just not going to happen today.

I read about this when the verdict came out. It's sickening. May Mr. Bell rest in peace.
