None of you, or us, really believed these cops were going to be found guilty
of anything, did you / we? The trial was a set-up from the start. Tomorrow-
we’ll chant “No justice.. No Peace” and that will be it! Sure, our feet will hurt a tad bit from the marching and maybe the throat will be sore too, but that’s how far we’ll take it. We won’t do anything else. This City I love so much will kill you in a heartbeat and nothing ever happens, no one is held to account, especially not the police. The public chanting dies down, the cops go
about their lives, see them smirking walking into court? Boy, they LOOKED
worried. Nothing will ever change this City, unless the people really rise up.
The days of King and X are long gone, the blood of innocent, unarmed black men
mean not a damn thing in OUR city, where is the justice for Amadou Diallo?
Patrick Dorismond? Timothy Stansbury Jr.? and Sean Bell? By spring of 2010 the
cops will murder again, like clockwork - you can count on it. What will we
do….No Justice No……… In the movie “Untouchables” the question is asked, “What are you prepared to do?”… No Justice….

You can get killed just for living in… your American skin!

Yngve’s suggestions seems more just. At least it would be eqaully applied to everyone.

Ed, anglo-law also justified the enslavement of Africans in it’s long history of racist history. You should watch Eyes on a Prize to get a better idea of the injustices committed by your barbaric forefathers.

You’re a prime example of what’s wrong with our ignorant education system in our country - with it’s cultish teachings that attempts to brainwash our children.

The real problem is that the NYPD does not apply the “Shoot To Kill” rule-of-thumb more rigorously.

I propose, in the interest of public safety, that EVERY person, regardless of skin color or age, should immediately be gunned down if he — or she — acts in a “suspect manner” in the vicinity of a police officer.

And it is equally obvious, for the sake of consistency, that the suspect should be shot not just once — what if he (or she) only received a flesh wound, and then went on a revenge-killing spree? — but 40-50 times.

Then again, bullets are expensive and pollute the environment. When the first 10 bullets have been fired, environmentally-minded police officers should put away their guns and finish off the suspect with machetes.

Just a modest proposal to the NYPD…
