Fine article.
How many officers fired the 50 shots? 5 at 10 each?

When you have to fire 31 shots you are looking at quantity instead of quality.

That officer probably needs to practice gun control.

The first cop to shoot was a black guy, I recall reading.
To: sgtbono2002
A speeding car being used as a weapon is a target which requires a quantitative response.

If I had some drug crazed drunk driving a car at me, I would unload more than just 50 bullets!!!!
Don't tell me any of you would just stand there and ask them to turn the car off....I own the Brooklyn Bridge if you answer yes.....

Bell and the other men with him all had been arrested for illegal possession of guns in the past; one of Bells companions that night, Joseph Guzman, had spent considerable time in prison, including for an armed robbery in which he shot at his victim.
the more i hear of this story, its beginning to sound more justified.

Funny how the police would think these guys had any guns or had a record as long as your arm???

Try and run over a cop in any other state, and watch what happens - you WILL be shot for trying to kill that officer - plain and simple. The man behind the wheel of that car was a complete idiot. The others in the car were lucky they were not killed as well.
Sharpton and the other paper weights need to rethink their attitude, or the vigilante's of Newark may return.
To: sgtbono2002
If there were 4 or 5 guys in the car that is only 6 shots per person.

Since this story first hit the airwaves, I've speculated that the guys in the car had no idea the guys outside the car were police officers.
Anyone who has been to this neighborhood in New York City will understand why someone in a car might behave exactly as these guys did when surrounded by a group of armed men.

I can hardly wait for Bruce Springsteen to write a song about this. Maybe it'll be a duet with Al Sharpton.
To: Cap'n Crunch
some rapper already wrote one, it's called something like "50 shots"

Right, and if so, why did he try and run them over?
Next!
The guy knew, and he did not want to get nailed, but he was unaware of how much support this one officer had - did he or did he not find out the hard way?

I guess that's a matter of semantics. When it's 4 AM and you've got one guy an foot and several others in two vehicles (I believe this was the arrangement at the scene), there are plenty of reasons for any rational adult to wonder what the heck is going on.
