Call For Special Prosecutor in NYPD Shooting of Unarmed Man
I’ve been meaning to post about this. I can’t tell you how very upset I was when I heard these cops were aquitted. 50 shots fired, an UNARMED groom dead on his wedding day…….and no consequences for the misconduct of these officers. Can you say W R O N G!
A coalition of civil rights advocates on Sunday urged changes in the handling of police misconduct and brutality complaints after the acquittal of three officers involved in the shooting death of an unarmed man on his wedding day.
They also called for a permanent state-level special prosecutor to investigate such cases.
“The verdict in the Sean Bell case proves it is almost impossible to successfully prosecute cases of police misconduct, especially in homicide cases,” said lawyer Norman Siegel, former head of the New York Civil Liberties Union.
