In what marks the end of one of the most high-profile police-involved shooting trials in New York City, a judge has acquitted three NYPD detectives of all charges in the shooting death of 23-year-old Sean Bell on Friday. Bell was gunned down in a hail of 50 bullets outside a Queens strip club on what would have been his wedding day in November 2006.

the thing with 50 bullets. did they reload? or did they walk with ak-47s.

Yeah, they had to have reloaded - assuming they were shooting with sidearms.
"Bloomberg also said he had spoken briefly with Paultre Bell on Wednesday and agreed with her on the need to ensure similar incidents would not occur in the future."
Oh, well I guess it is ok as long as it is not going to happen again.
what the hell?

3 guys, 50 bullets. Were they cowboys with two shooters a piece? Did they reload to make sure their prey was deader than dogmeat? Or were there more guys not charged?

i think it's important to note that the government orchestrated all of this so that black youth wouldn't have any positive role models.
that's what alicia keys told me anyway...

those cops should be in prison. They are trained and told not to shoot to kill, first place a person should be shot is in a limb.
Even if sean bell did pose a threat – 50 bullets is like something you read in a murder novel.

oh shit.
*runs for the hills

50 bullets? Man those NYC cops have terrible aim.
- joyride0
fucking crazy and sad. I don't know how you can honestly think the cops did nothing wrong and let them all go free as if it never happened.

this isn't anything, once the troops come back from Iraq they will be hired on as police and security guards around the USA. Since they estimate that 300,000 suffer from brain dammage/PTSD, you'll be reading about lot's more people getting blown away on the street by trigger happy cops...
