Sean Bell Trial....Not Guilty???

[Harlem's Angel]

My mom doesn't usually wake me up out of my sleep. Last she did, someone died. This time, our sense of trust in the justice system died. I'm watching live these angry people march on Queens Blvd. angry and disappointed. People are attacking officers, yelling, and screaming and I have to say that I agree with them.
Do we really want to live in a world where 50 shots fired does not equate to reckless endangerement, assault, or where death doesn't equate to at least manslaughter.
They're saying that the judge didn't think the proscution did their job of proving beyond a reasonable doubt that these fools were guilty. WTF were they doin in there???

Thats sickening. And they wonder why people hate cops now. They can basically get off doing anything they want. 50 shots is excessive, I dont care what the circumstances are. I hope they dont riot out there but if they do, tell them to fuck up the police station and the courthouse, not their own neighborhoods.​

No justice. No peace.

I always feel when people say this, they are referring to what white media tried to show you about the LA Riots.

It may have been African American neighborhoods, but it was Korean, Asian owned stores that got it.

Latasha Harlins, R.I.P., 15, had been shot in the back of her head by a Korean not a year or so maybe before that, over supposed shoplifting when the tape showed what really happened. She had two dollars in her hand when she died.

That's a double edged sword, but we in those neighborhoods were not the property owners, the commerce controllers. So fuck 'em. The truth of the matter was, it wasn't, " Our " neighborhood to begin with.

An riots ain't nothing new, the '67 was full of 'em, but white people only want you to think about Martin Luther King, and non-violence.

Just as they refuse to teach African American's about how many slave revolts were going on, throughout slavery. They kept that good and far from us.

Oh I know they were scared in 1971!

I remember that case that helped trigger the L.A. riots...and, hearing that, I can't believe the judge sided with the officers in the Queens case. But, as soon as I heard that a judge would be making the final decision in that case, I knew that it wouldn't be a fair trial ... I hope people in NYC raise hell over this ridiculous decision

i wonder how much $$$ it took to pay that judge off

 

[maynard]

Police officers kill people all the time and get away with it. This didn't surprise me at all.

 

[damured]

regardless to how u push pull or shove it in the world u are never gonna get a guilty verdict on a police officer in amereican Wther the cop is black or white he or she will always come out in the right from the freedom riders to rodney King to now mt bell and thats that so to the police officers on here who are going to take up for the ny officers they killed that man in cold blood and if the shoe was on the other foot mr bell would be locked under the ai if he still wnt killed at the scene so i say FUCK THE POLICE AND WHAT THEY STAND FOR I WILL HOLD COURT IN THE STREET. We are still just n...a to them and to the cop who apologized if the bell family wont say i will FUCK YOU AND KEEP THAT SHIT TO YOURSELF You get to go home to your family Mr. Bell doe not have that option tonite he leaves behind a soon to be wife and child and you sir still have a gun and a badge to go out and kill again with no regard for the lives you trash

Not be be inciting or anything but the news conference where the detectives spoke after the case was over, sounded like an awards ceremony where they were thanking God and everybody else.

Maybe the legal system allows them to walk away but i see no justification for them going back to their jobs as protectors of the public.

 

[AristotlesOwn]

At least take their pensions away...these guys really walked away unscathed If this happened in the Jewish community, they wouldn't have gotten away with it.

Modern day lynch mob.

i heard a sound bite of that madness...only one appolgized to the family

but the family is about to sue the shit out of new york and win...so someone is gonna pay

looks like the state would rather pay the family off than set a precedence that police officers can be fairly procecuted like civlians
