your point, my diligent researcher? the shooters were 2 blacks, 2 hispanics, 1 white. you have nothing.

So that means, NO incidents like this has happened to white individuals or groups of white individuals. Only Blacks and Hispanics. You can check on that stat. It's much easier. You don't even need to go back forty years, my friend.

i really don't care. if you want an answer, do the research.

So were there any incidents in the NYC NYPD of them shooting a White individual or a group of white individuals? Just a curiosity factor. Yes or No? If yes, when? if not, then I guess it's NO. How bout within the last 40 years? Does that make it easier?

I love blogs. They bring things clearly into focus for those of us who believe that we live in a loving, color blind society. Keep it up guys. I'm enjoying the education.

It's not a racial question, just a simple factual one. I'm sure the NYPD has stats on such things. I don't need to add to anything else I've said. Except this, When was the last time the NYPD had a shooting incident that involved white officers and a white individual or a group of white individuals? I have no idea what your "maybe" was in reference to.

clearly you are still trying to do just that, #24. first, yours was an inherently racist question. you divide the world into black and white in order to make a misguided point. second, your jumping for acceptance of 'proof' with a 'maybe' is quite telling. third, you ignore a simple question directed back at you which shows how irrelevent you are. fourth, you are hiding behind your 'simple question' afraid to actually state your point. do you have something to say?

Who made it a race issue? I just asked were there any NYPD incidents where white officers shot at a white individual or group of white individuals. Simple question. And, you answered it. NONE.

you wanna hear a no, #9/20? ok, maybe it's none. who cares. but since you push, let's take your pathetic racism baiting to it's logical conclusion: how many young black men commit violent crimes or threaten cops compared to white? it can be rhetorical if you like... we already know the answer to that one too. seems like a good time to stop spinning this into a race issue, doesn't it?

da crap hit da fan

The one DET shot all those times to make sure no one was alive. There's a very thin line between the law and the criminal. Dead man tell no tales.

I am not sure if you have ever been put in a situation where you may have been scared and was trying to leave a situation before it escalated, but i believe that is what the issue is here and for them to shoot at someone 50 times is uncalled for. I have never heard of any non white person being shot at or treated unfair by the police and we all know how rowdy they get after they have been drinking. They show their behinds and the police just tells them to move it along.

Thu, 30 Nov 2006 12:28:39 -0500

OK, another question? Has there been any NYPD incidents where White cops shot at a White individual or Group of white individuals? And, you got too many questions in your questions because none of it were proven. I just asked a simple question and if it's rhetorical to you then I already know the answer.

DUMMIES #1 he was not intentionally running the cop over #2 if some weirdo pulled a gun on you and was shooting what would you do? stay in your car and stare into space?????? gosh some of you sound really slow on here

"Again, has there been any white people shot 51 times while inside a car in this city?" Ok, if we're going to ask rhetorical questions: Have there been any white people who have gotten into an altercation outside of strip club, said they were going to get their gun, ran into a police officer with a car, and rammed into a van full of more cops >twice

I agree with poster #2 The guy was asking for trouble in the first place. How could you try a run over a cop and be completely out of it thinking nothing was going to happen. The police probably though their life was at danger seeing how this guy with a car was going to run them right over.

yeah, 51 shots is not excessive by any stretch of the imagination. dispshit

I was a bit surprised by Bloomberg's characterization of the shootings as "excessive." Maybe they were, but he really should wait for further investigations before reaching such a conclusion.

You know all black celebrities are giddy as hell now. They can probably kill at least 3 people each and get off via white guilt like OJ. You know Snoop's at home going "Finally can shoot that white gardener"

"It don't matter to me what color the cops are " said the father. Yeah, it doesn't matter cause some of them were black but if they were all White then I bet you he would have a problem. Black people are more racist than white people.

It's not the 50 shots that is the issue. It really isn't. This story would still be as big as it is if the cops shot the car 6 times (one shot per officer). The problem here is the media is making this a black white issue, as usual. Just to recap: 2 black cops 2 hispanic cops 1 white cop Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, this is not 1 white cop and 3 black dudes is it? No it's not, but leave it to the media to single out the white guy as if he was the only one. Idiots!

A message to all blacks, whites, hispanics and even chinks; Try to purposely run-over a cop with your vehicle while acting as if you're carrying and YOU WILL GET SHOT. A 3rd grader knows it and these aholes were old enough to know it too.
