3 Police officers in the Sean Bell NYC shooting case were aqcuitted today. WTF! These three cops gun down an unarmed man to a tune of 50 bullets fired just before his wedding night two years ago and they get away clean free not even a couple weeks of community service...o wait...they are cops, it's part of their job duty to service the community!
Heres the link to the story if you have been under a rock.

I really want to say that I can't believe this but...really I can. That's part of the sad reality we live in where gas prices are bout to hit 4 dollars and cops shoot people innocent people like a scene from Grand Theft Auto. I really never have trusted the judicial system or the LAPD, NYPD, or whatever two letters go in front of your city PD.....for reason's just like this. I mean, how do you shoot an unarmed man more than 50 times, one officer let off 31 shots! dAMN! The Police Department is one of the largest organized gangs going and they have connections in all the right places. The reasoning behind the verdict was that the cops had a better story than the victims associates who were wounded in the fatal shooting. One of Bell's homies was an ex convict, so I'm sure the judge and the jury used that as an automatic reason for wrong doing on the victim's part. But wow.....you shoot an unarmed man 50 times and you get aqcuitted???
I think the great jherri curl wearing hip hop poet O Shea Jackson said it best.....

The truth is we (john q. public) and the police live by a different set of laws. Who is going to police "the police"? Great point by Al Sharpton on CNN the day following the verdict. Sharpton mentioned that all of the officers were "in plain clothes" investigating prostitution and drug dealing at the strip club. When everything popped off inside the 3 officers were directly involved in the altercation (remember still in plain clothes). Then outside the club the officers approached Sean Bell's vehicle (guns drawn/still in plain clothes) and what was his reaction to pull off in your car...I would have done it... you would have done it...it just makes sense...how in the world would you know that they were police officers? Great point by Sharpton asking a CNN anchor if you had guys in plain clothes approaching your vehicle (with guns out) after you left the club in Atlanta what would you do? Pull off!! Good ol' Al always there when you need him. A great point but a greater dissappointment by NYC's finest to serve and protect...BMoore I'm adding a link to your blog on my site hoping you would do the same...
