Sean Bell Shooting Verdict - Justified or Unjustified?

Justified. The actions of the men in that vehicle caused this shooting.Bell had been arrested three times, twice for drug dealing and once for a firearms possession. The New York Daily News reported that, according to unnamed law enforcement sources, Bell sold crack cocaine twice to a confidential police informant in August of 2006.Joseph Guzman and Trent Benefield, who were also shot in the incident, had been arrested nine and three times, respectively, each having been arrested at least once for illegal firearm possession. These men were in a bad neighborghood attending a strip club known for prostitution. They had an earlier confrontation with patrons in the club. They did not follow police orders. Wether they had a gun or not is irrelevant since he was using his vehicle as a weapon. I would expect the police officer who shot 31 rounds to have had some punishment because that was overboard but the shooting in itself would be justified.

I wish Mr Bell became nevertheless right here to stand trial, yet he's no longer. concerning brutality, the police have been aquitted. That a decide feels pompas adequate at upload a savage remark in the time of sentencing merely confirms my own perception that individuals of capability look to think of their mouth is as significant as their their intrepretation of the regulation. What precisely are you searching for besides?

I say unjustified since the man doesn't have a gun. and also the allegde weren't judge by a jury of their peers.they were judge by a judge. I don't know why a person would say get my gun if their unarmed? but i don't see how this is a race thing as 2 of the officers were black. and also one of them shot 31 shots and reloaded-that to me seems a little weird.

Unjustified. I don't care how much danger you think you in it don't take 50 shots to kill someone...period it don't take 50 shots to kill 3 ppl and one officer reloaded???? what a shame

Justified.

Justified. They tried to run over the cops and one of them yelled, "Get my gun!" or something along those lines. The cops responded with a proper escalation of force. You don't start of with pepper spray on that one.

Well you reference the NY Times, which is a joke and unreliable.

The police must have thought that their lives were in danger, hell two of them were black, let's see how Sharpton dances around that one.
