I am one that rarely agree's with Al Sharpton. But I am outraged at the actions taken in court and justice is calling out to make these officers pay for their poor judgement and excessive force.
I think the police force of New York, or any city, needs to remove officers that show excessive force. The Police union also needs to step up as well and address this issue. It's not going away! The problem is that they stand by bad cops. The city needs to weed out the dangerous persons that have no right carrying a gun. It's ironic that there is an outcry for gun control of law abiding citizens, but when cops, who kill unarmed men with weapons there is little political outcry from politicions. Being in law inforcement is a worthy and honorable profession. However the good law enforcement servants are dishonered and dis credited 100's when bad cops like these get away with murder!
Though I am sure there was some questionable events by those that were shot at the strip club at 4:00am in the morning.

This is the way that Martin Luther King Jr. would be treated if he had lived. Racists still abound in this country....of course they do not consider themselves racists. They say I'm not racist but...........

Folks like Al and Jessie know how to make merchandise of their own people for maximum power and profit. Their motives are not pure as they attempt to portray. When the black American finally wakes up to the control these two hate promoting pimps have over them, they might stand for right and become truely free.

Why does the Leftist/Socialist press give so much hype and attention to this SKELL Sharpton? Remember how he tried to instigate unrest over the skell Tawana Brawley.The NYPD is just about dead now from all the micro managing. Fence off these areas and let the skells rule themselves like Escape From NY.

two of the three police officers were black. Al Sharpton does not tell us that. Several men were in a strip club. They got into a fight with others. One of the members of the bachelor party announced that he was going to go to the car to get a gun. The police officerws heard him. The men got into their car, and rammed the police officers' vehicle twice. The officers believed they were under threat, and when the party people didn't cooperate, one police officer started shooting - the other officers thought they were being shot at, so they shot. Police officers are taught to empty the clip, and shoot at body mass. 51 shots were fired by the police officers. They followed the rules of engagement. The three men were thugs, with long criminal records. What would you people want officers to do when they are under a threat? Allow themselves to be shot? That happens more often than cases where the police officer should not have shot, and killed an innocent person. Al Sharpton never talks about that.Finally, the other people in the party group changed their testimony about the event. And it's likely that some of them ran away with the guns.

The Insurrection Act of 1807 is the set of laws that govern the President of the United States of America's ability to deploy troops within the United States to put down lawlessness, insurrection and rebellion. September 30, 2006, the Congress modified the Insurrection Act as part of the 2007 Defense Authorization Bill.
The Reverend Al might find himself in a tough spot.
But since it is New York I really don't care one way or the other since the people of New York think they are the center of the Universe and the place stinks to high heaven in the first place.

Let Al and Jessie come to Baltimore MD. They can help out the police stop black on black crime, protect the safety of the light rail passengers and stop teachers from being assaulted in the Baltimore schools!
However, there is no major TV and media publicity in those endeavors, so we won't be seeing them soon.

This type of action should never become a raciest matter; counterproductive. If certain law enforcement (not all law enforcement) see they can do it to one or two individuals, they will do it to all because they got away with it; "because they can". This should be Federally investigated.

Sharpton could do more good if he would go to cities like washington and Detroit and closethem down for the number of blacks that are killed by blacks that is huge compared to one sad and unfortuante death by police.

This should be Federally investigated. But my friend you have already indicated where you stand on the issue. The Judge has declared the officers innocent - NOT GUILTY, so why would the Feds be involved? There is nothing to indicate it was race involved. There is strong reason to indicate the officers had probable cause to open fire. There is strong reason to indicate that the men that were killed did not comply and took actions that put officers at risk. The only thing is 50 shots before stopping to see if after 10 shots 40 more were needed. But the fact remains that once a officer has to use deadly force he might as well empty his gun to make sure he won't get killed.

Feds are reviewing the case for fed charges against the officers. I guess they want to wait and see what the fall out is over the judges ruling. Hipocritical bullshit, I'm starting to think Rev. J. Wright is right, "Not god bless america, god damn america." If you are white, the police, republican, or a member of the military you are screwed. The thug criminal and their liberal supporters are screwing over our country and we are letting them because of guilt. The officers had their day in court, the judge found them not guilty PERIOD. Seeking other charges bcause you don't like the outcome is just wrong. NOT GUILTY is just that NOT GUILTY.

The funniest thing is that Rev. Sharpton is NOT a Rev. He just adds that to his name.

I think I am with you on this one...those three men could have been any of us...some police officers need to be let go or put on a very very short leash, I just hope they dont burn the city down...
