John Conyers and Al Sharpton.
On Nov. 25, 2006, Sean Bell, 23, and his friends, Joseph Guzman and Trent Benefield, were outside a club in Queens, hours before Sean Bell was to be married. The police insist Bell was drunk and in his drunken state, his behavior, when confronted by the police, behind the wheel of his Altima, in addition to the actions of his friend Joseph Guzman left them no choice, but to fire. They fired over 40 rounds, upwards of nearly 50 at the men.
The 3 New York City police detectives were found not guilty ... on all charges in the shooting death of a black man who died in a hail of 50 bullets on his wedding day.
Justice Arthur Cooperman, who delivered the verdict, said many of the prosecution's witnesses, including friends of the man, Sean Bell, and two wounded victims, were simply not believable.
"At times, the testimony of those witnesses just didn't make sense," he said.
His verdict prompted several supporters of Bell to storm out of the courtroom, and screams could be heard in the hallway moments later. The three detectives - Gescard Isnora, Michael Oliver and Marc Cooper - were escorted out of a side door. Outside, a crowd gathered behind police barricades, occasionally shouting, amid a large number of police officers.
The supporters of Bell - screamed NO JUSTICE. They demanded JUSTICE. Sharpton piped in - he was going to shut the city down UNTIL THERE WAS JUSTICE.
A simple question - what is justice? A judge heard the case and decided based upon the facts. Had he decided based upon race - would that have been justice? If the judge grabbed a rope and ordered the defendants to be hanged - would that be justice. What constitutes justice? Surely not an innocent verdict. Justice MUST be a guilty verdict when the defendants are the police and the person killed is black ... except the police officers ... two of them are black.
What is justice. Is justice punishment against authority whenever possible.
What about Sharpton - authority would like him to pay his fair share of taxes: The Associated Press indicate that Sharpton and his business entities owe nearly $1.5 million in overdue taxes and associated penalties.
Justice. Justice would be Sharpton paying his fair share of taxes.
Now John Conyers is on his way over to New York to hold hearings. Conyers had been in New York before the verdict, and had said that “We want to make sure that justice is served, and we send a message not just to law enforcement, but to young people that these types of tragedies have to end in this country.”
Justice.
Justice is Conyers wife carrying a gun and threatening people at Detroit City Hall. Calling people names, disrupting city procedure ... and doing it more than three times, disregarding rules.
Justice.
Justice for Tawana Brawley and the white police officers. Thank you Sharpton.
Justice.
Since 1993, right before Mayor Rudy Giuliani first sent the NYPD to take back the streets, Gotham’s murder rate has fallen a staggering 75 percent.
Do the math: That’s 16,736 New Yorkers presumably alive today who might have been murdered had crime remained at its Dinkins-era levels.
That's JUSTICE.
The police have done more to save lives than all the civil rights actions of the past 15 years. More lives saved, not taken nor lost - saved, by the police.
Conyers and Sharpton are two useless jokes. They suck off good people and instigate hate and division when none exists. The stoke the flames of racial hatred and division for profit. Useless and Shameless.
