Cops Got 99 Problems But the Law Ain't One





All three police police officers involved in killing Sean Bell were acquitted of all charges.

This is a grievous injustice. A grievous injustice.

The judges decision in this case is an affirmation of the unfortunate notions that Black lives are not of importance. It also affirms the unfortunate notion that the life of police officer has more value than a non-police officer, especially if that person has ever associated with any illegal element.

It's a sad, sad day.

See, it's not just about Sean Bell - it's about Patrick Dorismond. It's about Amadou Diallo. It's about Anthony Baez. It's about Timothy Stansbury.

No accountablity. None.

Yes, we must respect officers for putting their lives on the line, but having a badge does not give you free license to kill innocent people



But, I guess according to the law, it does.
