Let the riots begin!

[BunnySlippers]

Any locals know if the situation is tense? Calm?

"We have no hate. We have no malice. We seek no revenge. We put in God's hands. And in God's own time this city will deal with justice," Sharpton said.

Huh ? Al acting like a Reverend ?

Honey, pop some corn. This is going to be interesting to watch.

[SE Mom]

Wow.

[gridlock]

It is a good day to not be in New York City.

[gate2wire]

How soon before hussein obama weighs in?

[Condor51]

Do the riots start at noon or sunset?

I'm on CDT so I need to adjust for an hour.

Cops Acquitted In Sean Bell Shooting Death

I hereby proclaim this "Free Big Screen TV and Baskteball Shoes Day."

[aculeus]

The defense made one great decision: let a judge, not a jury, decide.

[Impy]

How can there be no jury?

I’m sure most here agree with the ruling but many cops are no better than gang members running around with guns and hassling/shooting people. 50 shots.

[NoGrayZone]

Oh boy, here come the riots!!!

I’ve got the complete layman’s version of this crime at the link below to my Blog. Click in if for nothing else to read how the fine, fine Mayor Bloomberg handled his police force. Guaranteed you’ll be mad.

And below, information on the prosecutors....again, lily-livered pansies refuse to stand up for what’s right.

Except the jury folks. That’s You and I folks. The jury got it right.

A crowd reacts to the verdict in the Sean Bell shooting case outside the Queens County Criminal Courts Building in New York April 25, 2008. Three New York City police officers were found innocent of all charges on Friday in the shooting death of an unarmed black man killed in a hail of 50 bullets on his wedding day.

Maybe this will be taken care of.

[SengirV]

Big Blue Wall - 2 (1 with the shooting, 1 with this verdict)
Unarmed citizens - 0

[4yearlurker]

Cops killing citizens on the street then being acquitted of all charges. It's easy to see who is more equal.

The state wins almost every time. Agents of the state, same dept of justice, done.

“No Justice, No Peace!” will be the rallying cry of Al Sharpton and others...and maybe here, they are right? These cops DID seem awful trigger-happy, and the NYC police force DOES have a history of similar atrocities. These killer cops - are they all with Waco-wannabees? Even if the victims DID have a gun - what makes the police think that they would have used it against them, first? Why are they so fearful of armed ciizens?
