NEW YORK CITY WEEPS

Sandra Rose April 25, 2008

The verdict in the Sean Bell murder case is in. I’m not surprised that the cops were acquitted of firing 50 shots into a car killing the unarmed Bell on his wedding day.

There’s an unspoken understanding among the rank and file that all male minorities are threatening whether armed or unarmed. So the shootings are always deemed justified regardless of the circumstances. I expect parts of the city will be smoldering by tonight.

gemini83

I was just reading this on YAHOO. I am sooooo mad. I feel so sorry for the family. I will keep you in my prayers. Karma will eventually catch up with them. Ask Wesley.
Anna

Not surprised. That is a damn shame. How can you justify 50 bullets?
intensemocha

OUR LIVES HAVE NO MEANING TO COPS-WE ARE DISPOSABLE AND THEY KNOW WHEN IT’S ALL SAID AND DONE THAT THE JUSTICE SYSTEM IS GOING TO BACK THEIR ACTIONS NO MATTER HOW RECKLESS IT IS….

MY PRAYERS GO OUT TO HIS FIANCE AND FAMILY

IT’S SO SICKENING-IT’S LIKE YOUR HANDS OUR TIED IF YOU PROTEST THEY’LL MOST LIKELY LOCK YOUR A$$ UP OR WORST BEAT THE HELL OUT OF YOU

YOU OBEY THE LAW AND HOPE THAT THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM WILL WORK LIKE IT’S SUPPOSE TO-BUT SOCIETY EXPECTS IT CITIZENS TO BE LAWFUL WHEN IT’S SO OBVIOUS THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM IS CORRUPT

IT FEELS LIKE MASSA JUST GAVE US ALL A CRACK OF THE WHIP TO REMIND US OF “WHOSE REALLY IN CHARGE” IT’S A GOD DAMN SHAME!

when its the “majority” black cops against a black man..the only color that matters is blue..I wonder how they sleep at night?
honeybun3757

UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!
Coo Coo Bananas

Agreed with #5.
MOCHAMOMMY

i’m pissed… the mayor said this was excessive, the chief of police said it was excessive, but a effin judge thought they were unable to prove “beyond a shadow of a doubt” that the officers werent justified?! how the f***?!?! how do u justify shooting 31 rounds? that means u have to reload twice?! NYPD guns are made to have a harder trigger so its harder to shoot…. Do u know how hard it is to pull a trigger 31 times? and they never saw one shot being fired back at them? they said another person shot back and fled… where is that guy? if u know like i know, they will arrest every single black man until they find the alleged gun man
miss_kiya

I can’t believe they got off…that is really disappointing as far as the justice system is concerned. That is why police act the way they act cause they get away with MURDER!
pinkvirgo

I’m so sick of this crap.NY is supposed to be the most progressive city in the country and yet this still going on.
brwnsugga4you

this is so f*cked up on so many levels i can’t really comment on this. we are living in a state of emergency!

I am pissed too as I 1st read this on YAHOO!!!! There is no way you can explain 50 got damn bullets!!! against a man with no gun… How the hell did they talk the city in a judge hearing the case and not have aa damn jury decided this case… That is the f.u.c.k.e.r.y. that goes on in this damn justice system. If Sean was my family member i would file all kinds of appeals and ask for a damn jury to hear the case! I am sooooooooo sick of this kind of stuff happening and this right here will keep happening because they got off!!!! And I am appaulled and outraged that they have gotten away with murder!!! Now if one of Sean’s family members snapped and kill them… they would be under the jail house!!!! Uggggggggggghhhhh I am fired up!!!

F’n Devils this piss off…

I pray that his family will find peace during this difficult time it’s like there reliving this nightmare all over again now that this verdict has come out…

My prayers are with his parents, child and fiancée.
Even Stevie Wonder can see that justice was not served.
Sandra thanks for posting this.
http://highbridnation.com Mike Belgrove

We been covering Sean Bell’s case from the start and when I read today that the police officers were acquitted I was in serious disbelief. An unarmed man was shot 50 times and the people who did it are not responsible at all!? That’s crazy.
pointhimout

Nothing’s gonna happen. I at first thought there would be a repeat of rodney king. that’s not gonna happen. black folks just tired. we dont know what else to do in situations like this. in this case, two of the officers (i believe) are black. when your civil rights are violated, what are you going to do? what am i going to do? i’m not rich..i dont have inflential friends in politics or legal defense….now what????
The 1

Agree with 6 & 11.
http://www.myspace.com/bettathaniwasb4 2bme

NY is tense..these cops will have to be on desk duty or moved to another district where no one knows who they are..as soon as their face is shown it’s a done deal..they want hell..new yorkers will make certain they get it..protesting,civil suits, appeals, riots, and “50” shots..make no mistake..justice will be served..the question is “how”
Sharonda

So 50 shots and they couldn’t charge anyone?What do they call this?You can’t tell me you firing 50 shots and don’t get anything from it?I smell a major lawsuit.This is so wrong.
Mz_Magnificent1

I am outraged to read this mess…this literally gives me chills up my spine. I hope the civil case has a better outcome than this crap!!! My prayers go out to Sean Bell’s family…this whole ordeal is BEYOND tragic for his family and loved ones.

Everyone here in NYC is in shock. Its crazy that something like this can happen and these cops get off on ALL charges. People cant say, this wont happen again because this is the 2nd time cops got off in killing an unarmed man.
http://myspace.com/mullatos SnootyPooty1

@pyt_504 … The cops decided they wanted a Judge to hear the case in fear that a jury would be bias because of the way the media protrayed them.
cutienjerzey

This is a travesty…Unjustifiable homicide at it’s finest. My heart goes out to Sean’s parents and mostly Nicole and the girls. She has to raise her babies alone, answering questions about what happened to daddy. That just pains my heart.
prynsexxx

I just hope they don’t start rioting. Please NO. The state of the blk community is already in turmoil. All the judge saw was another case of “blk on blk” crime (in a sense). Not blk vs. YT. Not cop vs. tax payer. He just saw blk (higher regard) vs. blk n i g g a.

Fifty shots and no return fire – where is the sense in that!
SoutherngirlTam

What has this world come to? justice for all is more like justice for none!
MOCHAMOMMY

I was listening to Steve Harvey and he made an extremely valid point, when are white men ever a threat to policemen or shot up by accident or in self defense?

Something similar happened in S. Florida, however the person was armed but never fired or showed his weapon before they shot him up and dragged him to be arrested. this is so heart breaking but is anyone really surprised? Cops can steal, rape and kill blacks yet there is never any action taken against them…

I understand being concerned for your safety and the safety of the public, but when is it ever gonna be considered “too much?” And whats worst is that good cops are gonna be considered crooked and potential murderers
KoKaNutt

I hope one day before my casket drops that I will be able to witness one instance where justice is truly served. My prayers go out the Bell Family
http://www.myspace.com/sweetpea_337 pyt_504

Thanks Snooty… But umm the way the media portrayed them.. ? I mean seriously…. Honey this is too much crap for me today… my nerves is already bad this morning after hearing this crap! and yes 2 of the cops are black/latinos
http://www.findentertainmentnow.com miesha@FindEntertainmentNow.com

hot damn. how sick.
candi got gushy

THEY PAYED THAT JUDGE OFF OR HE WAS OFFERED SOMETHING NICE FOR RETIREMENT. NO WAY IN HELL COULD HE DETERMINE THIS WAS JUSTIFIABLE HOMICIDE WITHOUT PERKS !!! HOW CAN THEY SAY THEY DONT WANT A JURY TRIAL? I HEARD OF MOVING THE CASE TO ANOTHER COUNTY BUT DECIDED BY A BIASED JUDGE? WTF !!!!!!
starr

This NY folks. Kill an unarmed man, and ya walk scotch free. I luv my city, but there are no words, i don’t know none of these ppl, but when the verdict came down, i turned my tv off, and just cried. I”m still at a loss for words.
spraggaswifey

#8 yuh are so in point with that comment…smh…i tried so hard to be optimistic when i knew this was going to happen….and remy’s looking at 25yrs..
pyt_504–
i am so with yuh…i have so many things that i want to say but it really is not worth it…i am soooo sad and upset that i really can’t think straight…yes we are in a bigger state of emergency then people realize…
NYPD are celibrating today because they can’t wait for the riots and the protests and for 1 black person to step an inch out of line so they can lick off as many shots as they want “justifiably”….the justice system has been corrupt and will always be that way…THERE ARE EXCEPTIONS TO THE EVERY RULE THO…the only thing that can help us is GOD…bottomline….
BLESSINGS GO OUT TO HIS FIANCE CHILD AND EVERY OTHER FAMILY MEMBER AND FRIEND….
WE ARE NOT IN YOUR SHOES BUT WE FEEL YOUR PAIN RIGHT ALONG WITH YOU….
spraggaswifey

***BLACK***
forgot to boldly out that up..
katgirl33

This reminds me of Rodney King, to the next level……They better pray the angry people of NY don’t try to riot….I hope they don’t either….too many of us are losing our lives already…I hope they don’t give the NYPD a reason to come down on them…..
http://myspace.com/mullatos SnootyPooty1

Pardon my typo “portrayed”

@pyt_504… When I read that I was like what a load of crap a man lost his life and they are worried about how there being veiwed by others. I can go on and on about this but I will not..

I am going to make this a Fantastic Friday!!!!
spraggaswifey

#29—
YUH ARE ON POINT AS WELL….
I BELIEVE OR SHALL I SAY “WANT” TO BELIEVE THIS CASE IS FAR FROM OVER…THAT JUDGE NEEDS TO BE ARESTED AND CHARGED WITH A BUNCH OF THINGS BUT PLEASE BELIEVE THAT HE IS NOT THE ONLY ONE…I AM SO ASHAMED OF THOSE OFFICER’S…NO DISRESPECT BUT I FEEL BLACK NYPD HAVE ISSUES WITHIN THEMSELVES AND THEY TRY TO ACT LIKE THEY ARE ALL FOR TRYING TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM ALL THE WHILE BEING A PART OF THE PROBLEM…AND NOT JUST THE WHOLE STATE OF NY BUT OTHER STATES AS WELL…
LAChick

reading this BS this morning, they said that Bell and his friends were thugs familiar with guns and such like that makes it ok to shoot to kill, no overkill them. Hoes cannot be raped and thugs cannot be murdered…just ridiculous logic!!! This is so upsetting, so wrong! One cop 31 shots, how can that judge think that is explainable? I don’t want NY to burn but I want justice for Bell’s family and the men who were with him. I want the federal government to get in there as they have been monitoring this case and overturn this crap!!! Make it right!
kalvonel

My heart weeps for the family left behind. Cops should be held accountable for murder just as civilians are. 50 shots & acquitted? At times like this I can see why Brian Nichols snapped.
JOMINE

Wow that’s sad, I’m not even surprised.
Sharonda

There’s just too many damn corrupt policemen out in the street.And I know for LA and NY they is some are just twisted.Some of them are good maybe like 2% which is a good chunk.I think their reasoning “they were thugs” was bullshit.Every black man you see is NOT a thug.What a sad excuse, maybe that’s why the don’t want Barack to become president.He’s black and his intelligence scares the mess out of them.Who knows if race thing will go away, for all I know it probably be another 30 years from now.
nikkineal11

I am so outraged by this injustice…It makes my heart heavy!
PAHairston

I too am sick of such injustices as Sean Bell being gunned down in cold blood but I’m also sick and tired of black on black crime thru out our neighborhoods across the country. Chicago has been in the news lately, found 5 black folks shot and killed in a run-down house, 15 killed over the weekend. Same thing with DC, Dodge City, once labeled the murder capital of the world, blacks killing each other like crazy. (My 25 yr old nephew was gunned down 2 yrs ago on the streets of DC. I’m sure everyone knows someone who has been gunned down in America.) Black America, we need to get our act together by coming together, finally and forever. Perhaps the election of Obama will lift us to where Dr. King left us some 40 years ago, hanging on for dear life. As always, I leave you in peace.
GAGIRL73

THEY GOT BY “AGAIN” THIS TIME, BUT THEY WONT GET AWAY!!!
ALL OF THOSE GRIMMIE FOLKS THE POLICE AND COURTS HAVE TO ANSWER TO THAT ONE PERSON BIGGER THAN ALL OF US(GOD)!!!!!
WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND…NOBODY IS ABOUT NOT EVEN THE LAW!!!!!!!!!!!

MY HEART GOES TO OUT SEAN BELL’S FAMILY!!!!!!!
VirgoVixxen

This is just really sad- it says a lot about this country and the judicial system. 50 bullets- 50 bullets- that cant be justified- My prayers go out to the family
http://www.myspace.com/mzmekpage Tmekio

UN-EFF’n-BELIEVEABLE………

This is NOT justice. This reminds me of the riots in Brooklyn’s, Crown Heights back in the laste 90′. that’s exactly what’s going to happen…

How can you, as a human being live with yourself knowing that you took an INNOCENT’S man’s life…

I’m glad Im NOT the “Final Judge”…
1NubianQueen

Understanding the fact of having to shoot because “I though my life was in danger”. Why not shoot to disable if you thought you were in danger? Get out of the way, until back up arrives; but to take a life rather he had criminal behavior at one point or another is really irrelevant. How can you justify, taking a man’s life that was UNARMED?! Why didn’t the cops shoot the tires on the car to disable it, considering the car was at this point being looked upon as a weapon? The U.S. is not for US it’s for citizens who are socially, and economically at the top of the ranks! This young man’s life was taking because he didn’t fit into either one of those categories, so to the JUDGE he didn’t matter. What we must realize is no matter how much injustice we as a people who don’t fit the U.S. Social and Economical standards endure; the very folks who are judge and jury now, will be the same people in line with us common folk waiting on their verdict in the book of life. My heart goes out to his family and his friends and their family during this difficult time.

This is heartbreaking news, My prayers and thoughts go out to the family. This much to devastating, the fact that people go to jail for dumb ish that doesnt even make sense and yet the officer of the laws get away scott free with what is without a doubt murder.
suga_stix

This verdict makes my stomach turn. All this does is serve as a reminder that the very people that are supposed to protect you can be the biggest predators of them all. No one can justify firing that many shots at a person…armed or unarmed. I’ve never been surprised that black cops were involved because we are our own worst enemy and many black cops tend to treat other blacks like garbage anyway.
Hotstuff

I’m in NY and it’s a very grim feeling overall out here….
PPL want to keep the peace so bad, but at times like these others like to try you when they know you’re boiling on the inside…

I mean ppl say keep yourself out of trouble and keep your nose clean…but they were doing just that and got shot up…what does that say about our law enforcement and life period????

All I know racism is well and alive….
Bsoul

I had no idea that Cooper, one of the officers is Black. I thought it was a case of all-White officers lettin’ off.

My condolences to the family over the death of your son/brother/father/cousing/nephew and the drama surrounding this verdict—you guys deserve better.

I am speechless…….A man can kill a dog and get time but these pigs kill an un armed man and get off free. There is definitly a problem in this world.
TsC

As a native New Yorker, I will say that I am not surprised at all. Yeah, it really hurts me to the core they these pigs got off, but I also understand that we are indeed living in the land of our OPPRESSOR. Its sad that many of you are still naive into thinking that any form of “justice” was going to be served today. I guess some of you thought that times has changed because of Obama.
The fact is that times hasn’t changed, shit is getting worse. Racism is alive and well in this country. As far as the “Justice System” is concerned, many of you will be SURPRISED by what goes on under the veil. Just ask any of your friends and family members that actually been incarcerated. And no, I ain’t talking about some punk ass 8 month sentences either, lets talk 10 years and up. Are any of you even aware that once you are released and are still on parole that you are required to pay monthly restitution fee to the state? Oh, and if you decide not to pay, guess where your black ass is going back to? Extortion at it’s finest!
I’m sorry to say this, but there were many before Sean Bell and sadly, there will be many after that will suffer the same travesty. That is why we as a people need to put all the negative shit aside and stand together, because nobody else don’t give a shit about us.

Only in America can the police violate their code of conduct, receive pay while on leave, be found not-guilty when they admit guilt, and walk away with a slap on the wrist.

Only in America can an unarmed Black man be gunned down in a hail of 50 bullets fired by 5 officers and the 5 officers feel vidicated although their stories matched the stories of the witnesses who took the stand yet the judge returns a “not guilty” verdict.

Only in America are we, the people of the darkest color in America, asked to “keep the peace” after in-justice.

he fathered two childre with the fiancee’ he left behind and he had every intent on making the mother of his children, his wife. This speaks volume in a society in which it’s not common for a man to make the mother of his children his wife and not just a woman standing in line with other women as ”baby mommas.” He was 23, and scheduled to be married the morning of his murder. The media says “gunned down”, but it was murder. Is it fair to say he shouldn’t have been where he was or should it be fairly stated, the police used excessive force against a Black man? How can this be racism when 3 of the 5 officers were minorities?

Well, as I was writing, three of the detectives found not guilty were doing “damage” control by holding news conference on CNN. They thanked their attorneys and the judge for making a fair and just decision. They thanked God and losely apologized to the Bell family for their loss. GUESS WHAT! SEAN AIN’T NEVER COMING BACK! This is why NWA wrote the song, “F*** the Police” because of things like this.
Now go RUN & TELL THAT!
NYCUTIE

I almost fell out of the shower this morning when I heard that they were acquitted. I pray for he families having to deal with this ordeal. Bet BELIEVE this is not over!!! Someone will pay for what thes aholes have done. The black cop involved shot the most rounds or almost as many. Black cops are just as bad as white cops. The black cop involved stopped the car to begin with. This is not the end of this case!
aqtpie

This is sooooo sad but I am not surprised.
zyah0804

The sad thing was Sean Bell will go down in history (as far as white people are concerned) as a drug dealing thug that was killed by police because he was in a “seedy” part of town doing wrong and not as a VICTIM. I read some of the comments on other sites and was completely appalled. Some even went so far as to say that was a good way to clean the streets of NY. My opinion the clean up needs to start in DC at the White House and then to the capital of each and every city.

It’s just sad. But really is anyone surprised? Society shows us everyday one way or another how they really feel about us. Yes we cool to sell their tennis shoes and liquor and maybe even a select few can be the face of their products but at the end of the day we as a people hold no weight in this country. YOU STILL A N#$$er. What can we do? How can we do it?

I pray that the family of Sean Bell will find comfort, understanding and peace somehow …
http://xscape2xscape.com crystal

I am not shocked of the outcome. Just like the Diallo case. It’s the American fuking way, when cops can kill you and not go to jail, and if you shoot a cop, then you get the death penalty. I am sure the decision of the verdict was made way before the Pope came to town.

when O.J. got acquitted, it was open season on everything the police can get any black man on. riding your bike on the curb, throwing garbage into the garbage can and missing it….ect..ect…

Here are some excerpts from the NYPD Blog on what they are saying… You should read this!
Appalling!!!! And I wonder why I never get sad when i hear they have been killed in the line of duty

Not Guilty….as it should be. Except if you’re the black majority, they think differently. Their idea of justice is guilty only, in any shooting against a black person. They wouldn’t know what justice is if it slapped them in the face. To the Detectives involved, and all MOS. This is the reason you should seriously think about bailing out at 20 years working for the NYPD. Do your job and go home.

Lets give the judge some credit. He made the right decision. Justice was served. Not what big Al and his henchmen wanted to hear. He did not cave into political pressure, he delivered his decision on the facts and the truths. Hope the 3 will get on with their lives and back to work reach 20, grab their pension and run. There should be no department trial for a job well done.

KUDOS to ABC Channel 7 who were the first to go back to their regularly scheduled programming…

The judge ruled. It was obvious. NO crime was committed, the Detectives acted within the Law…..enough with the Bell family already. These media assholes are making Sean Bell a Saint. He was a PERP. The cops know it, the public knows it, his perp friends and family know it, the criminal justice system knows it….enough already.

Kudos to the defense team for exposing the prosecution witnesses credibility (or lack of)

‘m glad Judge Cooperman was able to see through the morass of bulls*it.

These thugs used DPF against these police officers in the form of a vehicle and got what they deserved. Driver=DOA, Passengers=Injured enough to know if they’re ever in that situation, it’s not a good idea to try that! image
Krysi – yes the same one

This is what brings the worst out of people. They like to see us mad, they like to see us hurt, depressed, and on edge. This is the kind of outcome they all live for, because they are hoping that on this very day more lives of black people can be taken with or without reason. GENOCIDE, little by little, we took their ability to lynch and kill us without trial and jury so they found away to do it behind the security of the system. THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN DO, THERE IS NOBODY THAT CAN HELP, THERE IS NO WAY WE CAN CHANGE THIS. THis is what we have to accept. GOD has written the verdict, and he will be the only justice. I’m sorry my people but as long as we continue to live on this earth we have to accept that these people still have the right to keep us down, all we can do to fight back is keep our head up like we’ve done for centuries and continue to move forward. Think of all the Civil rights leaders who still haven’t seen justice, or justice wasn’t served until they were dead and buried or their murderers were old and half dead themselves, why should we expect anything more. This is more than painful…I don’t know about yall, but its giving me another type of feeling that i can’t even describe. That just lets me know that one day, all these evil MF taking our lives away from us, either with legal documents in the white house, with unexplained arrests, holding us back from education, holding us back from having the opportunities to vote Obama for president, holding us back from better job opportunities, killing us off and calling it justified keeping us in a F*cking BOX, weather its closed casket, or a limited way of life and progress….THE WILL ALL BURN RIGHTFULLY IN HELL…..one day. Thats one day we can look forward to.
mimi08

50 shots is murder. You cannot justify shooting someone 50 times.

Forgive me lord, but this makes me want to go spray law enforcement. I gotta pray on this one. I feel helpless and vulnerable. I pray for peace for this family and all others effected by this.

To those law enforcements officer: You didn’t get away with anything cause the lord saw it. Karma is a bitch, one of your family members might be murdered in the worst way, or even you. Justice sometimes comes outside of the courtroom, and not at the hand of the victims…..puzzled, think about it for a second. The greatest avenger and the one that demands justice is the lord.

I pray these officers don’t have another day of peace in their entire lives until they die. May the dead haunt them until they are no more. Darn shame they will be celebrating with their families tonight, while that young man is dead in his grave, killed when his life was just getting started.
NC_NYer

Like most of the other New Yorkers on this blog, I am not surprised, either. I called it in a discussion with some friends. I KNEW they were going to get off. From day 1, Bell and his associates were portrayed as criminals and thugs.

The white folks (in the comment sections of the articles) are saying what they always say – either ridiculing Al Sharpton, calling black folks crybabies, or making ignorant comments like, “How is the reduction in sales of cheetos and 40 oz beers going to shut the city down?” (in response to Al Sharpton’s call to demonstrate our displeasure with this ‘abortion of justice,’ as he called it).

50 is NOT a pinhead (I’m talking to you, Bill O’Reilly!). America IS NOT and WILL NOT be ready for a Black president. We can still see it in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, and many other places. There continue to be white folks who simply DO NOT want a black man (ESPECIALLY SOME UPPITY, COLLEGE-EDUCATED NEGRO) in office telling them what to do (Obama’s biggest trouble spots are white, blue-collar, non-college-educated voters –> and Catholics, too).

Now I know people will say, “Oh, when will Black people stand up to this injustice!” and things of that nature. But here’s the other side of that: WHEN WILL BLACK FOLKS STOP TRYING TO ALL BE THUGS, HUSTLERS & GANGSTAS??!! You can go right on MySpace to see all the IDIOTS throwing up gang signs. Here are a couple of news flashes, kiddies: #1 – Being “gangsta” on MySpace is 100% NOT GANGSTA – at all. #2 Just because Young Jeezy makes records about selling “that white girl” – it doesn’t mean you can or should do that! #3 Going to jail is NOT cool (as explained above by post #54 – much of your life is cut off after being incarcerated!). Young people – that is only ENTERTAINMENT – NOT REALITY.

I give a F*** about “street cred.” I want a successful, prosperous life, not a “hood” or “ghetto” life. And no, I DON’T want a girl who dresses like the girl Diamond from Crime Mob….uhhhh NO.
