Justice for Sean Bell? Don’t Count On It

Think Those Cops Will Be Indicted For Killing Groom-To-Be Sean Bell? Don’t Hold Your Breath
By Gregory Kane
So this time it was 50 shots.
Sean Bell, 23 years old and celebrating his bachelor party on the night before of his wedding, figured his impending nuptials were precisely the reason he didn’t need any beef at a Queens strip club.
“Let’s be out. I’m getting married. I don’t need this,” Bell told a few of his friends, according to New York Daily News columnist Michael Daly.
Bell and his friends left the Kalua club around 4 a.m. last Saturday morning and wound up in a hail of bullets. Those rounds weren’t fired by some thugs with a beef. Those shots — 50 in all when the fusillade ended — came from the guns of five New York police officers.
Bell was killed. Two of his friends were wounded. Many New Yorkers are outraged, the Rev. Al Sharpton among them. And on this one, I’m inclined to agree with Rev. Al.
No one in the car Bell drove was armed. Cops shot after Bell backed up his vehicle near an undercover — as in “not in uniform” — police officer and then went forward and crashed into an unmarked police car. If news accounts in the New York Daily News and New York Post are to be believed, police officials have much explaining to do.

Ok the 9-11 connection he made seemed way off and reckless. I’m not sure if Karma works that way and I’m sure he’s not either. Other than that one of his better articles

I raised an eyebrow at that too but since it was so irrelevant to everything else in the article I just ignored it. The piece is so much better when you do
