instead of 50 shots it should be 50 dead cops! not a race war a class war! the desperate housewives of ny should be the first ones thrown in the river. followed by all re broker vampires, & those people who actually sell outdated apt rental lists for a fee, or at least that pancake tit alex and her gay husband, might as well throw in gloomberg and ghouliani. they are parasites!

ok just had the newspaper slipped under the door to my bunker... the sheeple keep saying cops wanted to combat quality of life offenses. so they setup an undercover sting. (to protect us) why not just park a police van in front of the club, another at the door checking id's and one car down the block to check plates and run down anyone who u turns or drives away, like they do at dui chcekpoints. see they dont, because places like club kalua are seen as feeding time, need arrests or OT go eat at this klub, im pretty sure they do not aggressively police the patrons and establishmentss of downtown white cokehead stockbroker t&a bars. where the same thing happens, you think it doesnt but it does suckers RISE UP to end this, your pawns in the system you think if your not doing anything wrong then nothings going to happen to you, your wrong it will happen to you and if it doesnt what will sooner or later happen is the victims of this system will be there at your shiny condo and your $8 an hour doorman will not protect you.

"Who says "go get my gun" as nonchalantly as saying go get me a beer? you answer, get it yourself especially if it's a gun. or, how the F do I know where your gun is? A gun is something you always have on your person. Never let it out of your sight." Leave it to JackOff the Ghetto Apologist to school the rest of us on gun etiquette in da 'hood.

don't forget those shots that hit the airtrain and platform. what if someone were hit? did you see the video of the cop slipping and sliding? and, who says "go get my gun" as nonchalantly as saying go get me a beer? you answer, get it yourself especially if it's a gun. or, how the F do I know where your gun is? A gun is something you always have on your person. Never let it out of your sight.

Fifty shots fired does seem excessive, and with better judgment could have been avoided, but I do understand why the cops responded in the way they did. Perhaps Bell and his friends were innocent in the sense that they were unarmed, but they certainly weren't little nerdy do-gooders. Bell and his buddies were hanging out in a club with a clientele of sleazy drug-dealers and hookers. They were fighting about gang-banging a woman, who was unwilling (imagine that!), and an undercover cop inside the club heard one of them say, "Yo, get my gun." Why wouldn't cops think they were criminals after that, especially when they tried to run over an officer and ram into the police van a few times?? Yes, 50 shots is a lot, but it didn't happen outside a Sunday school. These were not upstanding citizens in any sense, and the cops (black, too) felt they were protecting themselves.

Abortion of justice? I eat your fetuses. I drink your babies. The Fishface Jesse "Hymie Town" Jackson is a baffoon. The Bloated Al "Tawana Brawley" Sharpton can manisminate the situation any longer. This is the kind of shit reaction that will cause Obama to lose the election. Better play up your whiter half, O.

Al Sharpton's comments today were despicable. Respect the court's decision. Disagree with it if you want. But calling it an "abortion of justice" is offensive and shows the his lack of character. Tawana Brawley anyone?

It's not that AL sharpton couldn't start a riot. It's that their aren't any poor ass blacks in the city. They've all been gentrified out of the rich neighborhoods. They all live in east Queens. You think a bunch of poor ass blacks from east queens is gonna take the subway to manhattan to riot? No. The Middle class blacks who have jobs are pissed off but they ain't gonna riot for sharpton and lose what ground they've gained. and the upper class blacks like sharpton are too busy winking in the camera and huffing and puffing to realize how impotent they are.

i was once arrested while trying after going to the rpecint and saying ' i respectfully request to excercize my right to file a civilian complaint against a police officer' the statements in the arrest record was something out of a karate movie and terminator. as soon as i got to the courtm, they looked at it, looked at me, and dismissed it as the BS it was, COPS LIE, DO NOT BELIEVE THEIR SIDE OF THE STORY, THEIR SIDE OF THE STORY IS NOT A FREE FORM OPEN MIKE KIND OF THING, IT IS A VERY WELL THOUGHT OUT PROCESS DESIGNED TO GIVE A STATEMENT AND COVER ALL BASES MADE IN CONSULATION WITH OTHER COPS, THERE IS NO PROOF OF THEIR INTOXICATION, BECASUE THERE WAS NEVER ANY TESTS FOR ALCHOHOL LEVEL, THEY PROTECT THEIR OWN, THEY ARE ALSO NOT REQUIRED TO GIVE A STATEMENT AFTER A SHOOTING UNTIL 48 HOURS LATER, WHAT YOU HEARD AS COURTROOM TESTIMONY IS bs, JUST LIKE THE GUY WHO GOT AWAY? WHICH WAS NEVER BROUGHT UP IN COURT, ITS ALL LIES, REMEMBER AMADOU DIALLO, HOW HAPPILY THE COPS LAWYERS SAID HE HAD GAY SEX BEFORE HE WAS ARRESTED, WITH WHO KING KONG? STOP BEING SHEEPLE, POLICE ARE NOT YOUR FRIENDS

this is an exact same repeat of the nj turnpike shooting except the characters and context are different, why would a lurching car, or a van full of basketballers & bibles be considered a weapon, easy MOVE OUT OF THE WAY, why would shooting all the passengers have any effect on the situation, what if sean bell as the driver survived and his three friends killed, at worst if that was me id say yeah dam right i tried to run over the pig but i didnt think they would execute my three homeboys!!! sheeple...your all sheeple, why do you all think that a moving car can be stopped by bullets, you can kill everyone inside the car but that doesnt stop the car, the car stops when someone hits the brake or when the foot is taken off the gas pedal and it stops later, not instantly, idiots, cars do not blow up when bullets hit it, cars do not stop when bullets hit it, only thing that stops when bullets hit it is people, this was an execution, and one day things will either change or they will get worse, its up to you to not let that happen, until then ill be very happy when a cop is killed, ill send a thank you card to who ever did the deed

you fools dont see what is obviously a very very close promiximity shooting at a car that was not moving or moving very very slow, or possible lurching out of a parked position, no way can 4 guys dump 50 shots on what they are calling a moving vehicle or lethal weapon oh got this car bumped my leg, time to empty the clip!

Bloomberg: We accept their authority? Has Mike become the Pope or the Queen of England? Bloomberg spouts sensitivity language and public relations strategies but it's the same rotten NYC court system he's upholding and the same racist NYPD who's shit he's informing us it's our patriotic duty to swallow.

Sharpton meant to say "miscarriage of justice" which has nothing to do with actual child birth. idiot.

It’s the ultimate mantra-fication of the common words “law” and “authoritiy” which used to have an important , meaningful denotation, but are now repeatedly used in parlance to bludgeon the peons into lockstep. The irony here is that both what Bloomberg and Obama utter is the truth, but not in the context of the positive law of which they speak of.
