There are many innocent people in jail because of cop framing. This should shine a spotlight on cops in this country and make you say "Is that person in jail really innocent?"

If the cops that shot Sean Bell were acquitted of all charges, do you, the people of Gothamist, honestly think these guys will do any time?

Police make their money in over time. Officers often make arrested close to the end of their shifts in order to put in an extra 6 hours of over time doing the paper work for the arrests. Also police are required by their employer to arrest people, they have quotas to fill. If these 4 cops went to this spot to try and arrest some one for whatever reason, but found no one committing any crime, they invent the crime, lest it be a waste of a night.

wow. this is truly disgusting and scary. I do find it hard to believe that FOUR cops would conspire to frame these guys in this way. What was the motive? This undoubtedly calls into question every arrest these four cops have ever been involved in, and it creates a big mess for the system to deal with.

The Post reports three of the four cops are under investigation and could face seven years in prison if convicted. Let's not hold our breath until that happens. But there's no law against continuing to cover this story to find out what the outcome of the fraudulent arrests are. NY Post? Gothamist?
