1) So you say.

On Friday, the commanding officer of the undercover police unit that confronted Mr. Bell on Nov. 25, 2006, Lt. Gary Napoli, testified that he did not hear the detective who fired first, Gescard F. Isnora, yell, “Police!” Nor did he hear any of the other officers, including the other two on trial, Detectives Michael Oliver and Marc Cooper, shout the word, he said.
2) You point a gun at me and I'm in a car, I'm going to try to run you down as well. Or are only white men allowed to defend themselves.

And where was Lt. Napoli at the time? How close was he?

I see you didn't include that in your selective reportage.

Isnora had not drawn his weapon until after Bell first attempted to run him over.

Of course, Bell shouldn't have been behind the wheel in the first place, since he was drunk out of his mind.

Or are only white men allowed to defend themselves.

When the facts are against you, argue the law. When the law is against you, argue the facts. When both the facts and the law are against you, play the race card.
