Of course it would have been different. I can say no more.

I'm with you. I was thinking about doing a post on this same thing. 50 bullets. How many bullets does it take to stop someone? :sad:

Coop - Yes, it would have been...but these are things that need to be talked about and resolved...we can't keep ignoring the problem; it is not going to go away...

2sweet - Thanks for stopping through...that is exactly what I want to know...I read today that even the mayor said that it was "excessive..."; Lord have mercy on us all...

Well that really depends on what type of record that white man carried around with him. If this same white man had run-in's with the law, a repetitive sexual offender, and a drug-user [not to say that Mr. Bell was this type of man], then I am sure he would've been gunned as well. But who's to really say? I can not be convinced that this was a matter of racism as there were black officers that did some of the shooting, but I am convinced that this shooting was a product of stereo-typing on a number of levels. Beyond that, it was a poor decision on the part of the officers and an even poorer decision on the part of the judicial which can never truly be trusted to bring forth justice in their own right.

Marcus - Thanks for you thoughts, bro...I agree about the stereotyping...and my question; well, I think otherwise...

You are correct, though...poor decisions all around...
