Considering that the cops who killed wallet-toting immigrant Amadou Diallo got away scott free despite a hail of 41 bullets, it's not too surprising that all three of the police officers involved in the 2006 shooting of Sean Bell were also acquitted of all charges this morning. More than 50 shots were fired at the unarmed groom-to-be, who was wrapping up bachelor party celebrations with friends in Jamaica, Queens. This highly explosive case is sure to ignite more protests and most likely more graffiti. See what's already been written on the street after the jump. |NPR|
