At one point, the crowd of a few hundred counted off to 50, the number of rounds fired.

These guys were unarmed. I've yet to read any attempt to justify this. I've been busy this weekend though and may have missed it.

I'm glad to see everybody is waiting for a police report to explain the Police's side of the story instead of jumping to conclusions. Al Sharpton for President!

Ok this has been here before, but why are they after Kelly before he even has a chance to investigate.

If I could I would place 5 bucks on the assumption that the shooters were members of 100 Blacks in law enforcement who care. or at least they were black officers doing the shooting. A White officer in that club would have stood out like a snowflake in a coal bin.

The fact that the ace of the officers wasnt mentioned is telling. The we have good old Al Sharpton inciting to riot again. Tawana Brawley didnt teach this idiot anything.

One fewer criminal in the world, the police did a good job in protecting the public and should be rewarded for their actions.

This Sean Bell character was a lowlife, having children out of wedlock, hanging out at strip clubs at 4a.m. on the day of his wedding, striking a police officer with his car and then ramming a police vehicle.

A car used as a weapon is deadly force, Bell was armed with a 3000 pound weapon, the police responded with equal and just force.

If you want my opinion, the police were trigger happy.

[AmishDude]

Well! If the mob says so...

[goldstategop]

He clearly struck an unmarked officer's car. The police feared for his life. But Al Sharpton is not one to let the truth get in the way of a racial shakedown and blaming the police before all the facts are known about the case. It seems to me the NYPD did have cause to use justified force to save the life of an officer. Why that is not as important to Fat Al, considering the groom's criminal and reckless conduct, is reprehensible.

Sharpton. Now there is a real truth seeker.

[jiggyboy]

I hope we get a toxicology report on the victim. If he was drunk or even just buzzed, maybe it was just bad driving.

That Joseph Guzman is one lucky fellow.

How do you get shot 11 times and live?

If I ever got shot, one bullet, and I'd be dead before I hit the ground.....

The police department's policy on shooting at moving vehicles states: "Police officers shall not discharge their firearms at or from a moving vehicle unless deadly force is being used against the police officers or another person present, by means other than a moving vehicle."

So, if a suspect is A-OK as long as the only deadly force they use against a cop is his automobile. Just run the cops over/off the road,etc. and they are not allowed to respond with deadly force????

There are a LOT of questions to be answered in this case. Was there a gun or not? If one of those involved claimed to have one, then that changes things somewhat. The driver repeatedly struck the officer's vehicle. I hope the cops ID'ed themselves. If so, the question begs---why ram the police, strike an officer, and resist?

[Dustbunny]

Think I will wait until all the name calling etc. dies down and the actual reporting of what caused this is reported.

Sharpton would never pass up a chance to incite a riot.

Looks like the Dinkins era has returned to NYC.

An undercover officer walked closely behind Bell and his friends as they headed for their car. As he walked toward the front of the vehicle, the car drove forward — striking the officer and a nearby undercover police vehicle, Kelly said.

A moving car has a LOT more kinetic energy than a bullet. I'd have emptied a magazine into the car as well.
