Amadou Diallo, 22, seen in this undated photo, was gunned down by four New York policemen in front of his home on Feb. 4, 1999. (AP File) Overview In February 1999, four New York City policemen searching for a rape suspect knocked on Amadou Diallo's door to question him. When he came to the door he reached inside his jacket, at which point the officers shot at him 41 times, hitting him with 19 bullets. The object Diallo was reaching for turned out to be his wallet.
StoryThey didn't " Knock on his door " ; he was standing outside, and this is a DISGUSTING, and ULTRA LIBERAL use of that case... with which to try to porve whatever it is you imagine it will prove.
Why don't we just pull up ALL of the released FELONS articles, who have gone on to kll and rape, after their release ? Hmmmmmmmmmmm ? At least that wouldn't be apples and oranges; like your attempt is.
What does the death of Diallo have to do with this story? Are you trying to say and eye for an eye? Do you hate all police officers?

Story>>>> Your facts are ALL wrong, I live in the NY Metro Area and heard of this story EVERY DAY for two years.
He was walking home from his job as a street vendor and was approached by 4 special-crimes unit police officers because he looked like a rape suspect from the area. HE WAS NOT HOME IN HIS LIVING ROOM AND DID NOT OPEN ANY DOOR AS YOU SAID.
They told him to freeze and stop, Diallo did not and proceeded to go into his pocket, in the dark, pulling out a black object. He was told to stop again, he refused, and the cops blew him away because they thought he was a rapist reaching for his gun. A TRAGIC MISTAKE, NOT MURDER BY COP AS THE BLACKS PROPOSED.
As it turns out the Blacks, i.e. Fat pig Al Sharpton all lied about the situation. They said Diallo did not understand English, HE DID. It was also found out later that Diallo was a fraud and an illegal alien who lied on his application stating he was exiled from Mauritania for political oppression and that his parents were dead. ALL LIES.
Turns out he was from Ghana and BOTH of his parents were alive and well.
Diallo was acting suspiciously because HE KNEW IMMIGRATION WAS ON TO HIM.
As I said it was a tragic mistake. If Diallo was a law-abiding citizen he would still be alive.
One begets the other - sadly enough.
