Now put him on trial for inciting the Crown Heights Riot and the deaths at Freddie's Fashion Mart. This snake oil salesman has got blood on his hands.
Dude , I'm so glad you bring this stuff up . But that is all history .Isn't there a statute of limitations . Besides , I really think he's on the Federal payroll . You know some one would've taken him out by now otherwise .
there is no statute of limitations on homicide.
On the other hand, if there was ever something to protest about, this case is it!
I said back when it happened that it would be all swept under the rug and these cops would get off scot-free. The only mistake is in thinking that they got off because the victims were black. They got off because they are cops, cops are never wrong. When they are wrong, they get to investigate themselves only to find out that they weren't wrong because they never are.
If you see a cop actually get in trouble for something that s/he does, you're looking at a cop who can't get along with the other cops at all --either because he's totally obnoxious or he's totally incorruptible.
Wrong.
The cops got off because Sean Bell and his loser friends were arguing about getting a gun and then went to their car. The cops told them to stop and that's when Sean Bell tried to run over one of the cops and then ram the police van in a DRUNKEN STUPOR.
Between Sean Bell, Trent Benefield and Guzman, they had about 14 arrests between them for weapons and drugs.
And here's the biggest lie of all: THERE WAS NO WEDDING DAY!! THERE WAS NEVER A MARRIAGE LICENSE PROCURED.
What should bother Sharpton is that plenty of black people are killed for absolutely no reason in their community. But since he and his National Action Network can't make any money off of those killings, they just love finding fault with cops where none exists.
yeah, and it only took them a year to come up with that story...
That's ok. Many black people refuse to believe how Sean contributed to his own death. The ridiculous protest is proof of that.
I'm about as white as they come, but I have to deal with police on a daily basis, so you get to know what type of people are attracted to that calling as well as how they are trained to think.
What's really important here is.....Where's Jesse Jackson?
Is he gonna let Al Sharpton get all the glory and all the media?
Run, Jessee, run! Run, Jessee, run!
And when is Rev. Wright gonna weigh in on this thing?
You know why they shot him 50 times ???
They ran out of bullets !
Locky,
Quit letting facts get in the way of hating "the man"
: )
Sorry, accidental neg.
np
I can't believe that i am agreeing with dropkick,locky,and newbie..but only because i think you are right this time.Sharpton is a snake.When you try to run over cops you get what you deserve,black or white.
Hey baddad, goes to show you. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day huh?
;o)
lol,you are absolutely right.
so because the guy wasn't really getting married the next day, it was okay for the cops to whack him?
They NEVER identified themselves as cops. They (the cops) were in the bar drinking all evening.
According to witnesses at the time (apparently their memories have improved as time goes by), the cops were already shooting when the guy tried to ram the UNMARKED police van.
Did those cops REALLY have access to these guys criminal records when they opened fire? Did they even REALLY know who they were shooting at?
The marriage was just part of the "drama" of the innocent black man killed by racist police that were hell bent on killing somebody that night.
They did not have to identify themselves according to the NYS Criminal Procedural Law. Thank God that law was written so cops wouldn't have to die doing their jobs.
Sean Bell was no stranger to the Criminal Justice System. He knew DARN WELL they were cops and he didn't want to go back to jail. Unfortunately for him, he was drunk and tried to use his 3,000 LB car as a deadly weapon.
The cops knew about a conversation about a gun and the when they tried to stop potential violence, Sean and his friends tried to run over the cops. So their criminal records didn't matter.
That said, their criminal records are real. The wedding day is a fake.
"Thank God that law was written so cops wouldn't have to die doing their jobs. "
If someone pulls a gun on you without identifying themselves as a police officer, you should have every right to defend yourself in whatever way you feel necessary. Including running the person over with your car.
Sean was ALREADY trying to run them over. THEN they started shooting.
>>Sean was ALREADY trying to run them over. THEN they started shooting.
From what I heard & saw on the news, they were UNDERCOVER, NEVER identified themselves, & had their weapons drawn.
If someone points a gun at you, what exactly would you do?
