NYPD officers acquitted
I was going to write a post about normal life things, but then I saw the news about the three NYPD detectives acquitted in a case where an unarmed man was shot to death on his wedding day. Fifty shots, one unarmed man. Explain to me how this received an acquittal?
The victim was leaving a strip club with two friends. The three had been drinking but we not armed and were minding their own business according to reports from witnesses. The judge said the police officers testimony was more reliable. They were acquitted on all charges.
My feeling is of utter disappointment in the justice (or lack thereof) system. My heart goes out to Sean Bell's family.
This story greatly upsets me >>
"The verdict provoked an outpouring of emotions: Bell's fiancee immediately walked out of the room, and his mother wept."
