Genius, is your need to conform and obey without question so pathetic that you can't see any reason why some people might be upset by this? Do you have any substance beyond cops=unquestioned authority? Three undercover cops fire 50+ shots (one of them emptied 2 clips WTF??!?!?!) at an unarmed man? At best, its an example of poorly trained, trigger happy cops.

What a surprise. Genius/Idiot at it again. 3 cops fire 50 shots at UNARMED men and you see NOTHING wrong with this?!! One of them emptied 2 clips. Do you know how long they had to keep shooting for it to happen like this? As RG says, at BEST it shows very poor training on their part. This is indicative of some police not seeing black men as human beings but animals on the open range. Remember a few years ago also in NYC the unarmed black man was shot 42 times because he reached for his wallet? There is an obvious pattern here.
I don't how many of the inevitable commentators on both sides were privy to the testimony. I sure as heck wasn't. I would say that just because some non uniformed guy says he's a cop, there's no way I'm believing it. If he pulls a gun on me, I can't pretend to know what I would do. If I was in a car, I would probably floor it. I don't know how the officers are trained, but plainclothes officers must know that just announcing they're a police officer doesn't carry the same weight a uniformed officer would have. There may not have been enough evidence to convict, but something definitely went horribly wrong, and assuming the police are completely vindicated would be a mistake.
Justice 0? The cops went on trial, and were aquitted based on the evidence presented. The justice system worked as advertised. Justice was served even if you don't agree with the outcome. Now here's Weird Al Yankovic:

Like all leftists, Will and Springsteen have it all convoluted: This blog should read "Once again, your final score...Bullets 50, Justice served.
Is Bruce singing anything about that heinous double murder,torture & rape case in S.C. ? Probably not since the demographic profile doesn't fit the liberal agenda.

Of course we make you sick, because you're wading in the shallow end of the gene pool, incapable of rational thought. Yeah, there was no outrage in the Daily News of from Will when John Lewis killed Officer Cassidy. No coverage of that whatsoever. How it must be nice to have such a selective memory so you never have to deal with facts.
And Yankee Air Pirate, you see any difference in those two situations? Hmmm, maybe because police are supposed to keep the peace and uphold the law so they are held to a higher standard? Gee, you think that may be it?
Actually, Bruce sang this song, "American Skin", during his 1999-2000 tour in reference to another NYPD shooting of an unarmed man; the song was not about this incident.
RG-Okay,I'll concede your point.Now,where is the outrage over the S.C. case ? An especially brutal crime with a hot minute's worth of press.
