Sean Bell’s Killers ACQUITTED

25 Apr 2008 Author: rikyrah

Just saw this on CNN. Sean Bell’s killers have been acquitted. Bell was at his bachelor party, the morning of his wedding, when he was shot dead in a hail of bulletts from 3 NYPD Officers. He and the men in the car with him were all unarmed. A total of 50 bulletts were shot at the car with Bell and his friends inside.

Your ‘ Just-us’ System at work.

OMG!! I’m from NYC….I am speechless but I expected this. I really did. It is so unfortunate.
But remember we made progress.

Two of the three cops that were acquitted (the third was white and shot 6 bullets) were black hard working family men doing a very difficult job in a very tough neighborhood and Mr. Bell drove there car right at one of them after leaving a strip club and having a shoving match and one of his friends screaming get me my gun. Although I pray for Mr. Bell’s family these officers were doing their best under the circumstances so I don’t know what “just-us” justice system your talking about!

You have to remember that although they’ll do no jail time, they will get hit HARD by the civil suit. Not to mention that those three guys will never be cops again (well, most likely not). So, essentially, their lives are pretty much ruined.
There’s some justice in that.

We been covering Sean Bell’s case over at Highbrid Nation from the start and when I read today that the police officers were aquitted I was in serious disbelief. An unarmed man was shot 50 times and the people who did it are not responsible at all!? That’s crazy.

Usual verdict…no surprise…nevertheless very sad, very sad indeed.

50? and the white one stopped and reloaded and shot more? that’s insanity.
i did hear that there were still federal charges pending. hopefully some justice there.

Al Sharpton said this is not a miscarriage of justice it’s and abortion of justice.

I’m really curious what results you get when you try the Police Officer’s Dilemma “game”. My own results are posted, and, yup, it shows racial bias.
