he had WMD of Iran in his pocket!

First had one of the defendants not attempted to run over not once but twice and succeeded in striking one of the detectives with the Altima they had been driving none of this would have happened!
Last time I looked a 3,000 pound car is a deadly weapon!
Getting shit faced drunk and smoking dope in public is always asking for trouble!

After reading many accounts of the Sean Bell incident, I have come to a few conclusions:

- First off, as usual, people are jumping to conclusions… The blame falls on Al Sharpton, who tends to jump on bandwaggons that will help to get his name in the paper.
- This Guzman fellow apparently announced he had a gun in the car, in front of an undercover officer… That is not only the testimony of the police, but also witnesses who were at the strip club when this all went down.

MORE AFTER JUMP!

- Do people actually believe that these three/four guys had good intentions? They were all career criminals, with multiple drug and weapons violations on their rap sheets. There was drugs found near their car, which is believed to have been thrown out of the car when the cops announced themselves. These were not innocent, upstanding guys just out having a good time. They were screw-ups, and they were destined for trouble.
- Everyone is questioning whether the officers on the scene identified themselves as cops… These were all experienced officers. Do people really think these officers would put themselves in such a precarious position by not announcing they are cops? Plus, many witnesses say that the plainclothes officer was wearing his shield around his neck, and JUMPED ON THE HOOD OF THE CAR SCREAMING THAT HE WAS A COP and that Bell should stop the car and get out. Instead, he chose to floor it.
- How can racism be an issue. Of the five cops involved, 3 were minorities (two white cops, two black cops, and one Hispanic). So, if 60% of the involved officers were not white, how can this be an issue of white-on-black racism? Am I missing something here?
- Unless there is A LOT of information we don’t know, Bloomberg seems pretty spineless. It seems that all the evidence points to this being a clean defensive shooting… How can he accuse the cops of foul play? He lost a lot of friends in the public service sector, that is for sure.
- People need to be responsible for themselves. If the guy had not tried to run down the cop… twice… he would have just been arrested and probably released again after a few hours (the inherent maladies of our justice system is a whole other post), but instead, he is dead. It is a shame that a life was lost, and I don’t believe he deserved to die, but defensive shooting is far from an exact science. If the guy didn’t want to take that gamble, he should not have floored it toward a cop. Furthermore, if I were staring down at a car zooming straight toward me, I would be pulling that trigger like a mad man.

I am not for police brutality, and I am certainly in favor of crack-downs and making sure that the right level of enforcement occurs and officers are trained properly. But, it seems that the public, spurned by the media, is screaming “abuse” when all of the facts and evidence point to the fact that there was no abuse. What am I missing?




This site is very full of badly reported under reported or blatently wrong content!

Racism is not always about color

Times they are a changing, COPS CANNOT BE TRUSTED, when your a minority confronted by the agressive and sometimes lethal means used by todays officers only survival skills count. Use your car or a gun but do not delay-Target there family-they target yours! Justice is only for the rich and those in power-welcome to the 21st century :( Sad state of affairs!

There is no justice for the poor, and there never will be

Yes justice is for the rich, because the poor man has no chance in todays world, just look at the jails, which are filled by minority groups, because the wealthy with their money, and political connections stay out of jails.

This formula is world-wide in all countries, it is always the poor that is being encarcerated, while the rich, abuses, bullies, and gets away without facing justice.

For this reason I am against the death penalty, because those who are being executed are generally the poor people, but never they have executed a wealthy person, but then civilized countries do not practice the death penalty, only un-civilized countries do.
