Default Sean Bell Trial

NYPD officers not guilty, all charges. Didn't expect that.

Once you start putting cops in jail for firing when they believe their lives are in danger, you set a dangerous precedent. They tried to run these cops down with a car, and allegedly said they were going for a gun.

because they didnt want a media breakdown on a jury and this would have led to a race issue

50 rounds is also very excessive!

Over 200 people were arressted yesterday as they protested the acquittal of the three detectives in the sean bell trial.

They actually sat down on 2nd avenue and 125th street and blocked access to the triborough bridge. They did the same thing near the Holland Tunnel and the Queens Midtown Tunnel.

Crazyness!

check out this report from viddler.com as lindsay gets arrested during the sean bell protest. Check the link and you can see her in the middle of the protest. Its brave of her to sign off and get arrested but when she meets Al Sharpton thats where i lost respect for her. He is a racist pig!
