On Nov 25 2006,in Queens Jamaica,NYC, 23 Year-Old Sean Bell was shot 50 times by the police during his wedding day:'(, for no damn criminal offences Angry. This is a sign of racism by the police and this is not the first time something like this has happened in the US (although some black americans are known for crime, because of the government). Protesters were even arrested Angry.

The whole incident was just unfortunate, and it was ridiculous how all the cops involved were acquitted of all charges. The guy didn't deserve to die like that.

At first they claim this incident was an accident, I scuffed, you can accidently mistake an idenity, you can mistake the color of a person's eyes, but a death is never an accident when its becoming more frequent than rain. What I do not understand is how Whites are never accidently shot!. This is a situation that will only become worse.

umm...what took place prior to this killing?..I'm asking because we always say police killings are race motivated and sometimes it isn't..Although some police are racist...but what do u suggest a police officer do when someone is approaching him with a gun and knife and not following orders to drop it?..he's gonna shoot to defend himself..and then everyone will start talking about how he didn't do anything to deserve that. True enough there are race motivated shootings by cops, but we must not always say that all of them are..especially in this matter. We heard the news report about him getting killed..but do we know what actually took place before the shooting?..how was he acting before he got shot?..none of these are being released. And why do u think when there's a police involved shooting, they place the officer on pay leave until farther investigation?..so they can prove whether it was in a form of a self defense or not. And when it is proven that it is...the officer is immediately returned to work...It is sad what happened to him, but we musn't always assume that it was for absolutely nothing.
