City of Brotherly Love

Gotta post this. Sean Bell was shot in an event that had NYPD officers fire over 50 shots on unarmed men. Unarmed men whom they believed to be armed and giving them EVERY SINGLE LAST BENEFIT OF EVERY POSSIBLE DOUBT - shots are being fired, they don't know where they're coming from (I don't know police protocol here) and when they don't stop, they KEEP firing. It's sad, but it doesn't seem malicious. This may show my naiveté re: NYPD extreme violence against citizens, but I can see it. 

This video? Either these officers are toast or the neighborhood I flyered for Barack in will burn a little. 

Yikes, folks. Watch it again. Seriously. This is ridiculous.
