Sean Bell killers acquitted

This is an outrage. 50 shots and no one is held accountable for it. No one goes to jail, everybody walks free.
As you may have remembered back in November 2006 a would be husband was pulled over by New York Police officers outside his bachelor party at a club and died from multiple gun shot wounds. The strip club was being investigated for being a safe haven for drugs and guns sales. What happens next, as Bell and his friends were exiting the strip club is still unclear because of conflicting stories of witnesses and a different version from the Police. His two other friends that were also wounded testified that Bell feared they were being robbed since the undercover detectives failed to identify themselves. He drove off, allegedly almost ran over an officer, that's when all 50 shots were fired.
This is not a race case, this is a Police abuse and brutality case. Two of the three detectives that fired their weapons are actually black and they will probably never recover from it. But imagine the pain of Bell's family, a woman will never get the chance to walk down the aisle with him, his kids lost their father, his parents lost their child,the family needs some closure, some justice. The Black Community added another statistics.
You thought The NYPD would have learned from The Diallo case, who died for pulling his wallet out of his jacket, no we are still counting wrongful deaths in their Department.
It's time for some Justice ! Trust me there will be a civil case, it's not over yet.
