A woman holds a sign after the verdict in the Sean Bell case was announced near the Queens County Criminal Courts Building. Three detectives were acquitted of all charges Friday in the 50-shot killing of an unarmed man on his wedding day after a trial that that put the NYPD at the center of another highly charged case involving allegations of excessive firepower.

This woman should be arrested for inciting a riot. The black community only accepts a legal decision when it conforms to their prejudices. When it does not they circumvent the legal system with further violations of the law through violence. This "victim" was actively using a deadly weapon (his vehicle) to assault the Police. They were fully justified in using deadly force. The fact that it took 50 rounds to end the assault is testiment to just how deadly a weapon a vehicle can be. Al Sharpton continues to promote racism in this country by inflaming the black community whenever the opportunity arises. JUSTICE HAS BEEN SERVED!!!!!!

ok well clearly you agree with the verdict which is fine .. however i think ur being a bit too dramatic with the whole "This woman should be arrested for inciting a riot" argument.

i agree with you about al sharpton being a windbag.

I agree with the comment about the black community and Al Sharpton being prejudice. By all appearence the black can do no wrong, and it is always the white man's fault.The judge made the right decision and I fully support his decisions and ruling.

If we had a white Sharpton, the black community would demand this person be removed from the public view. It all comes down to, if it's not the way the black see it, then it's prejudice against the black.

u know what makes me go hmmm about this whole thing .. is that 2 of the 3 officers that were charged with bell's murder are black .. that's what makes me hesitate before crying "police brutality" .. its not easy for me to decide where the fault lies .. although i do think 50 shots is a bit excessive.

as for the "If we had a white Sharpton" .. i thought that was an odd thing to say .. i would counter by asking "do white ppl need a sharpton?"
