The dog ripped a chunk of flesh from his leg. Garcia, who has no criminal record, was cited for a broken tail light, not having car insurance and trespassing. These charges were dropped. The city stated they did no wrong. I guess that is why they lost the lawsuit huh?
I often think media coverage is based on consumer interest. Whatever is in one headline is what is hyped up or picked up by all the other. I say this because where is the outrage for he injustice that was done to Sean Bell? The three cops who killed Sean Bell on his wedding day in a 50-bullet barrage were cleared of all charges Friday - sparking tears inside the courtroom and anger on the streets outside.
A look back at the case - On November 25, 2006, Sean Bell, 23, was killed on his wedding day and his two buddies, Joseph Guzman and Trent Benefield, were badly wounded when undercover cops fired 50 shots at Bell's car. None of the three was armed. It happened around the corner from the seedy Kalua Cabaret in Jamaica, Queens, where Bell had his bachelor party.
I know this area well. Growing up in Brooklyn, you had friends that were generally also from the Queens borough. This was not a fancy neighbohood, actually pretty poor.

The case continues regarding Sean Bell, the young man that was senselly gunned down by the New York Police Department on November 25,2006. It appears Detective Ellen Friedman states, "I didn't take any precautions as to contaminating any bloodstains or any other evidence in the vehicle,"
This was serious blow to the D.A.'s office who was hoping her testimony would assist them in a conviction.
Defense lawyers say the detectives, who were at the club for a prostitution sting, began shooting after Bell rammed his car into their unmarked police van - and because they believed somebody in Bell's car had a gun. It turned out the men were unarmed.
Oliver and Isnora face manslaughter charges. Cooper is charged with reckless endangerment.
They fired 50 shots. I mean 50 shots for one man. How long will this mess keep going on?
