Middle Finger Them Boys........

Certain events just prove that something is seriously wrong with our "Judicial system" out here in the west.......

A sad day for all those who knew the young groom to be, killed a day before his wedding by 3 NYPD officers......with some 50+shots........

"Three New York City police officers were acquitted Friday of killing an unarmed groom-to-be in a hail of 50 bullets on his wedding day. Moments after Judge Arthur Cooperman handed down his ruling, shouts of "no" and "murderers" erupted from the crowds of spectators gathered inside and outside the state supreme court in Queens. Some outside began to cry and tussle with police officers guarding the scene, while inside the courtroom the victim's fiancée fled the room and the victim's mother wept. Sean Bell, 23, was killed outside a Queens strip club where he had a last-minute bachelor party in the early morning hours of Nov. 25, 2006. He was supposed to get married later that day.

Detectives Michael Oliver, who fired 31 rounds, and Gescard Isnora, who fired 11, faced manslaughter charges that could have carried a sentence of 25 years in prison.

Det. Marc Cooper, who fired four shots, was charged with reckless endangerment, with a penalty of up to one year behind bars. Two other police shooters weren't charged. The defence argued that Bell and his friends were drunken thugs who the officers believed were armed and dangerous. Prosecutors maintained that the victims, who were not armed, had been minding their own business, and that the officers were disorganized, frightened and trigger-happy."




Disgusted.......?
