Detectives Indicted

Three Cops will face charges for shooting an unarmed sean bell n friends 51 times. 2 with manslaughter 1 with reckless endangerment.

to me personally this is complete bullshit. at least the cop who fired over 30 times in too the vehicle should be up for 1st or at the very least 2nd degree murder. these men fired 50 FUCKING shots into an unarmed car for no apparent reason. if it were the other way around the minority in the situation would on trial for their life. sean bell who was getting married the next day was killed and his fiance on her FUCKING wedding day had to be told her future husband was murdered and now has to attend a funeral instead. im glad at least some kind of justice is being served but cmon manslaughter, they did more and intended to do more than slaughter this man n his friends simply bcuz of their skin color. total disgrace

Ah man, and here I was thinking this was a thread about 50 Cent going on a cop-killing massacre. You know, like that Ice-T song from the 90s that Charlton Heston was bitching over for weeks. You know, "COP KILLA! COP KILLA! MUTHA FUCKA COP KILLA!" Well, yeah, it's a catchy tune.


"Somebody told me when the bomb hits, everybody in a two mile radius will be instantly sublimated, but if you lay face down on the ground for some time, avoiding the residual ripples of heat, you might survive, permanently fucked up and twisted like you're always underwater refracted. But if you do go gas, there's nothing you can do if the air that was once you is mingled and mashed with the kicked up molecules of the enemy's former body. Big-kid-tested, motherf--ker approved."

Unlike 50 Cent, Ice-T was never a joke.

Never.

Have you seen him on LAW AND ORDER SVU ?

Just kidding, he's great as Detective Tutuola. That's my favorite show in the series, since Jerry Orbach died, anyway.

Ice-T's chemistry with Richard Belzer on SVU is always good fun.

You know, SVU is refered to at my dorm as LAW & ORDER: THE RAPE SHOW.

The police fired 50 shots into an unarmed car. Excessive, yes. However the shots were not fired for NO apparent reason. It all started inside the club with some kind of arguement and talk from Bells friends about getting a gun. But I'm sure that you know the whole story so I won't bore you with anymore details.

It's quite obvious that anarchy erupted on that street. Undercover cops, plainclothes cops, some not knowing who was and wasn't a cop. An excuse to kill this guy? Absolutely not. But I'll tell you what. Try putting yourself in the cops shoes who overheard talk about getting a gun and shooting someone and then having one of those guys driving his car towards you like he was going to hit you. Tell me how you would have reacted in that situation. I don't say that his firing 31 shots was justified. It was excessive. Tell me if you were one of the other undercover cops and bullets were flying all over the place what you would have done to save your ass.

Excessive amount of shots. Yes, I agree. Charging them with murder. No. Manslaughter and jail time, yes.

Racially motivated? Give me a break with that bullshit. Right away if a black man is killed and a white man is involved, it's racially motivated. I guess that the black cop, Mark Cooper, who was indicted, didn't like Bell because he was black.

I haven't been following this story too closely but I don't remember hearing any of the cops say that they shot 50 times because of the color of their skin. I think its YOU who are being racist against the white cops (even though one was black) in saying that they would shoot black men because they are black.

Cardi brings up excellent points, and NONE OF US were there that night. So your claim is unfounded and really racist from your end.

And, to be on topic..

I think you're ridiculous for automatically assuming that this was a racist act. Just because a black guy died, doesn't mean it was because he was black. Plus, you did read where one of the officers was black.. right?

BUT, its also ridiculous that they shot more than 50 shots into that car. I don't see how under any circumstances that many shots needed to be fired at all. (Unless they were shooting back, which obviously they weren't.. with that whole.. lack-of-guns thing.)

Well it's quite obvious here that you did not read the article or pay attention to the facts. According to a news article only one of the officers re-loaded his weapon during this melee, and he was the one who fired 31 shots.

Please, if you are going to be quick to judge and quick to voice an opinion, at least take the time to know the facts first. ;\)

I was not familiar w/ this song, but I think this further cements the fact that Pac faked his death. How in the fu*k could he be talking about Eminem(who's first album was released in 99), AND George "W", if that nigga died in 96??????

After all, his idol Machiavelli(16th century philosopher), preached the art of faking one's death for political purposes, and the Y2K Machiavelli did it to perfection. As if the 15 other post-mortum albums w/ similar "Nostradamus" type messages weren't convincing enough, the "Way before we dropped baloney on Afghanistan" should be quite substantial!

Rest in Peace my arse, that nigga's still alive.

I completely agree. I think it'd be good for a kick to watch the officers take the stand. "Well, your honor, it was coming right for us! I've gone hunting in africa, and I was drafted in the 60s, and this fucker had the stamina of a wild bore with the blood of an entire communist militia. The only clear solution was to see how many shot it would take to completely disfigure the face. It was like the tootsie-roll pop challenge with live ammunition. Surely a man of you stance can see the logic?"

How can it be racist when the guy who fired the most shots is African-American ?

That's not to say that these cops aren't guilty of everything else. I wasn't there that night, so I don't know.

It seems to me that being a cop in NYC transcends color anyway. I'm not saying that the black cops see themseves as white but that they all see themselves as blue.

It's a no win situation because the cops have to deal with the scum of the earth one minute and be asked to be politically correct and racially sensitive the next.

These horrible and unfortunate instances have to be treated on a case by case basis and should NOT be pre-judged based on the past histories of any other NYC cops. Including those responsible for the horrific murder of Amadou Diallo, the near death of Abner Louima or any of the victims of Steve Caracappa and Louis Eppolito.

Personally, I know it's alot to ask, but I think that the screening process for city cops has to be alot tougher than it is. Something along the lines of the FBI recruiting requirements. From making a 4 year college degree a requirement to a more stringent psychological examination, they have to make the some changes in the hiring process.

I think it would be a good start.

PB, not that I disagree with your sentiments, but how are they going to accomplish those changes, especially the more stringent screening process, when the starting salary is only in the mid 20's?? It's a disgrace that NYC police and firefighters are paid such a disgustingly low salary. Yet in the suburbs, where the work is so much less dangerous, they make way more. Same for NYC teachers.

Until the city addresses that issue, they're not going to get the recruits that you're describing.

Absolutely SB, that's why I acknowledged that it's alot to ask.

A higher rate of pay is essential. There is no truer expression in the world than "you get what you pay for", and it's about time we start paying, or things like this are bound to continue.

I was in the courthouse on 161st street, down the block from the stadium, about 2 months ago to pay a ticket. Anyway, I'm on line at the asc-s window and there's a bulletin up for available courthouse jobs. For some of the lower paying jobs, I swear to you, on the soul of my mother, the basic requirement was the completion of the 8th grade. The 8th f***ing grade! To work in a NYC courthouse!

Now don't anybody go telling me "well, who are you going to get for that job anyway ?" It's a city job, with LIFETIME medical benefits. Even if it's a janitorial position, people are going to be lined up to get it.

I agree with you SB. How can we expect more when we ask so little and offer even less ?

Off topic-
I agree whole heartedly that policemen and firefighters need pay raises but how can they get pay raises when the voters reject the levys cuz they don't want their taxes increased?

They would of had to reload thier clips at least twice each!They definently wanted these guys dead!!!Was it a racist act?No one really knows but i would say probably.



Well it's quite obvious here that you did not read the article or pay attention to the facts. According to a news article only one of the officers re-loaded his weapon during this melee, and he was the one who fired 31 shots.

Please, if you are going to be quick to judge and quick to voice an opinion, at least take the time to know the facts first. ;\)

About as hard to believe that the shooting was racially motivated without any proof at this point.

Maybe its different where you're posting from.

Im not saying it was definently a racist act.It just wouldent surprise me thats all.I have alot of respect for the cops and i understand how stressful the job must be.They're human beings but to unload that many bullets something was definently up that night.I guess we may never know.

Thats an important point to remember. Why cast doubt when there's no reason to? I say the cops deserve the benefit of the doubt (knowing how stressful the job is).

I'm not saying the cops were right by firing that many rounds... maybe their training has to be improved. I'm just trying to downplay the racial angle now.

Fair enough SC.Its sad that people(including myself) automatically think it was racially motivated.I mean its 2007 now.I probably jumped to conclusions.With all the training they have though it still is extremely wierd what went down.
