Liberals, Democrats and the MSM always take the side of criminals who get shot over policemen. I remember Bruce Springsteen wrote a song “41 Shots” about police shooting a suspect in Harlem. I also remember Hillary Clinton denouncing the police back then.

yea they found 8 UZI Machine Guns in the car.

1) Your posting is vague and confusing. Are you talking about the Sean Bell incident or some other incident?

2) If you are talking about the Sean Bell incident do you have a reference to a news story that mentions the the 8 UZI’s?

Noted, thank you. There is a simmering resentment in the Black Community: that Whitey owes them reperations for slavery, the justice system is stacked ten to one against them, whatever The good Reverend Jeremiah Wright said is the gospel truth: this is not just armchair gossip amongest them, they actually and firmly believe it. It only takes incidents such as Rodney King, Tawana Brawley or Sean Bell to give the fuel, that professional race hustlers and shakedown artists as: Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton to fan the flames of riotous violence./Just Asking - seoul62......

Wow.

It was just sarcasm, prompted by the picture.

I wasn’t trying to dispute the facts, or argue them.

Just trying to point out that Sharpton has dollar signs in his eyes.

Were the cops overzealous, or went overboard on this?
Seems so to me.

Did they do it because Sean Bell was black?
Apparently not.

Sharpton’s trying to make this into a racial issue, and I don’t think it is. (Even though Al and the media have done their best to make it racial)

Where’s hilllereee? Isn’t this HER city? How come we haven’t heard from HER on this? If she had said anything I missed it. How come she is not down there in t he midst of it all doing something or making a statement? Where is she? Oh yeah, probably sleeping cause she gets sleep deprived now and then...we all know that.

I would think she would be down there raising hell since she is a candidate for President. Her absence speaks volumes.

“Our morning paper says that Bell and two friends were attempting to back out of a parking spot when the police told him to stop. He didn't hear the command and continued backing, into the cop who was knocked down. The others, in plain cloths, open fire and Bell was killed”.
In a previous story; someone in the car had a gun that was never found? I suspect there is a lot more to it, don't you?

"... will not take this abortion of justice lying down,"

Perhaps he should take it bending over.

The man sure knows how to create a visual image.

nevermind...I found what "represented" means...in a NY Times article

A $50 million lawsuit against the city, filed last year by Mr. Bell's fiancée, who had two children with him, and the two men wounded in the shooting, may now begin moving forward...

Good question. But of course we all know where Barry stands on reparations. It would be his first order of business to redistribute wealth to blacks. Of course, his black father came here in the sixties, was not descended from slaves. But no matter.

This weapon doesn't exist, but they may have found Uzis of the regular sort.

That's what I said about Sharpton ~ he has poor judgment about how to go about resolving issues ~ but excellent discernment in determining the correct moral position on those issues.

He's also quick to jump the gun and blame the wrong people.

He’s spoken out. We have a problem with that Casey puke. He’s supposed to be an RTL sort of guy but looks like he’s in the sack with the Democrats too.

Yes. BTW the NYT has a very good looonng article about what went down that night.

The cops were bunglers for sure. But Sean Bell and his pals were not so innocent. Even 4 of his pals testified that some of the police points about the “gun” were valid.

No, 2 were black. The two black cops fired 4 and 11 bullets respectively. The white cop, Oliver, pumped out 31.

You seem to be looking for conflict where none exists. I believe that the correct verdict was rendered.

That doesn’t mean that the cops didn’t carry out a bungled undercover prostite bust.
