Sean Bell's Killers (NYC Cops) Walk

Per Tom Joyner Morning Show,

The cops that killed Sean Bell in NYC back in November 2006, were acquitted on all charges.

He was shot 50 times (and one of the cops reloaded even) and died the night before he got married.

I'm sure this will do great things for race relations in this country...

I was pleasantly surprised with Sharpton's comments.

riot?

I can't wait till May Day, I'm going to get to see all sorts of riots.

I saw some graffiti, that translated said:
"1st of May, Cars burn, Pigs (cops) die."

Sounds like a blast.

shiner...not sure if you have been paying attention but....ummm...

hmmm...how can I put it....


uuhh......East Baltimoronese style is best....

'This ain't got shyt to do wif race.'


at least 2 or 3 of the 5 cops involved in this case were black.

But what this does have to do with is the fact that:

- the cops involved were about to be disbanded because they case that they were on wasn't turning up any evidence.

- they did not follow SOP as they went about thier investigation

- most importantly (as in the Diallo case) they shot an unarmed man.

The cops may walk, but will they be FREE?

Interesting. I guess I was thrown off by Sharpton's presence.

I thought I remembered racial tones to this story when it happened, but I suppose it was just straight up police brutality instead.

I heard about the decision on my way to work this morning on NPR... One of the reporters was in the crowd outside the courthouse with hundreds of people and you could just hear them yelling and screaming...

This whole thing just makes me sick...
