You know, I am all for the police having the right to shoot - to protect themselves and to protect others.
I also believe they have the right to a show of force - to protect themselves and to protect others.
If they honestly believed that Sean Bell and his friends had a gun in that car on that fateful night, then I believe they had a right to a show of force, maybe to shoot.
But I have to state for the record that I cannot understand how and why a jury of their peers could have come back with the verdict they did.
One shot - maybe two - is self defense... Three shots is hysteria... (Uh, do we really WANT Police Officers who are prone to hysteria?)
FIFTY SHOTS IS MURDER!
