The damn lawyers!
In this New York Daily News story, Bell's folks seem to think that the prosecutors aren't being tough enough on the cops involved. ...
But the truth is in New York, the relationship between the District Attorney's offices in all of the Five Bouroughs and One Police Plaza has always been highly politicized, and the ground must be tread lightly, or risk poor cooperation in future prosecutions.
Right now though, I think some of the best coverage of this whole issue is on WNYC's The Brian Lehrer Show. In fact, it's probably the best radio program in the entire New York metropolitan area. Steve Harvey, Wendy Williams and Funkmaster Flex could learn a thing or two from this cat.
Check out the continuing coverage of the Bell trial via podcast below. They've promised to keep people abreast of what's happening and they haven't failed since the shooting.

This case was senseless. Police shooting anyone in this matter should not be tolerated at all at any time.Justic has to be demanded.My prayers are with his family and widow.

How are we ever going to stop the high black crime rate, if people keep defending scum like this?

To Warren Wagner
Scum like what? The victims or the police??If you mean the victims what makes them scum. Because they were leaving a bachelor party? Are any white guys ever shot leaving a bachelor party? We know how rowdy and disruptive they can be when they are drunk yet you never hear of them getting shot at, much less 50 times. This is an atrocity any way you look at it. Don't be so quick to call people scum. There is scum of every race and on both sides of the badge.
