The Judge is a dick. They should have their lives taken just as they did to the victim.

I really shouldn't be a judge.

Yeah they should have been handed prison time despite thinking it was a snafu on part of the three cops involved the incident. fuck tha police!


Right about nowNWA court is in full effect.
Judge Dre presiding in the case of NWA versus the police department.
Prosecuting attourneys are MC RenIce Cubeand Eazy muthafuckin E.

Do you swear to tell the truththe whole truth
and nothin but the truth so help your black ass?

Why don't you tell everybody what the fuck you gotta say?

Fuck tha police
Comin straight from the underground
Young nigga got it bad cuz I'm brown
And not the other color so police think
They have the authority to kill a minority

Fuck that shit, cuz I ain't tha one
For a punk muthafucka with a badge and a gun
To be beatin on, and throwin in jail
We could go toe to toe in the middle of a cell

Fuckin with me cuz I'm a teenager
With a little bit of gold and a pager
Searchin my car, lookin for the product
Thinkin every nigga is sellin narcotics

You'd rather see me in the pen
Then me and Lorenzo rollin in the Benzo
Beat tha police outta shape
And when I'm finished, bring the yellow tape
To tape off the scene of the slaughter
Still can't swallow bread and water

I don't know if they fags or what
Search a nigga down and grabbin his nuts
And on the other hand, without a gun they can't get none
But don't let it be a black and a white one
Cuz they slam ya down to the street top
Black police showin out for the white cop

Ice Cube will swarm
On any muthafucka in a blue uniform
Just cuz I'm from the CPT, punk police are afraid of me
A young nigga on a warpath
And when I'm finished, it's gonna be a bloodbath
Of cops, dyin in LA
Yo Dre, I got somethin to say

Fuck the police (4X)

I'm more interested in hearing more about the cop that plugged the Iraqi war veteran seven times.

This is shocking news!

It sounds like the cops were actually in the right in this case. The events were made worse by the suspects. They did not open fire just for the hell of it.

So, this dude is ramming cop cars, bullets are already flying everywhere, and this guy makes a sudden move and people are upset that the cops shot him to pieces?

HOW DARE THEY

hell yeah, geggy. isn't it fun being 14 again?

pssh, they did the exact same thing in olympia last year, and THAT didnt make national news

lets see...endangering lives, excessive shooting, manslaughter...yeah that doesnt warrant accountability.

score one for whitey!

So what in your mind should the cops have done when the guy rammed them and then started making like he's reaching for a gun?

You are an idiot.

The officers acted in accordance to the situation. They were acquitted because they responded within the law. Furthermore, it is not manslaughter when you are defending yourself in the line of duty.

The officers, on foot, fired upon and into a vehicle that was being operated as a weapon by someone who was not responding to commands and, it was believed, was in possession of a firearm.

There was absolutely no other way the officers could have responded in that situation. The suspect was proving to be a danger to the officers and to the public. Police have a duty to uphold the law and to serve and protect. Had they let someone with a suspected firearm continue on his way without questioning, which was at the root of all this, they would not have been doing their duty. The episode was escalated by the actions of the suspect, not by the officers.

Furthermore, there is no such thing as 'excessive shooting' in this enforcement situation. You fire until the threat no longer alive to be a threat. It's a shame it came to that, but again, had the suspect answered questions and not used his car as a battering ram against law enforcement vehicles he would be alive today.

The police did not just pick a random black guy, walk up to his car and dump a couple dozen rounds into it for shits and giggles. A few levels occurred between point A and point B.

A is for asshole, B is for bullets....

Two of the three officers involved were black.

It makes it easier to understand if you view Sean Bell as a not too bright perp.
