Well; they did an autopsy on Sean Bell, and he was shot 4 times in the neck and torso.

I'm just showing you what the news report said from the link provided.
 
I'd look at all sides of the issue, accusing the incident as simply racial doesn't fit well with me. What if the majority of the shooters did not intend it as racial, but just scared stupid, high anxiety, expressing an emotion from an earlier experience, or perhaps the caliber of the cop's bullet isn't sufficient to disable this person? I don't buy everything the media throws at us, they are only concerned about what sells.

Looks like the cops' bullets disabled him well. He's dead. And police officers are supposed to be trained not to react out of emotion and fear. That's why they are permitted to carry guns. Because their training is supposed to make them capable of remaining level headed.
 
I know Jillio, it's misleading information, because really the police fired 50 rounds into the car, not at a person or one man. I think the title came from Reverend Al Sharpton's mouth and I agree with Wokamuka that Reverend Sharpton is playing the race card to the extreme.

These are the men responsible for both the title and the wording of the article. How is Sharpton playing the race card, exactly?

The point is to disable, but unfortunately was swiss cheesed to death. Each cop should answer for this individually, they can't dismiss the whole seen or precinct as racial.

I don't think anyone is trying to dismiss the whole precinct as racial. They are protesting the equittal of the cops responsible for the shooting.

Those two are just writers that works for the press, Reverend Sharpton does talk to the media. You need to do a research on Sharpton, You'll see how he does play the race card.

I doubt seriously that these reporters wrote a nationally released stroy on Al Sharpton's say so. That would be a great way to loose their job. They are responsible for the wording of any story that bears their name, as well as for doing proper research before publishing the story.

I've been following Al Sharpton for years. I still don't see how he is playing the race card in this instance.

Hmmm...my point, someone knows something more.
 
Well, here in America,.... people are always going to stand up for what they believe in, so they can make an impact in the media and for change....how they chose to do it may not be the way we feel is correct, but everyone has the right to their own opinion...... just think when we find out who wins the presidency ...whats going to happen then? People will certainly react to that decision, watch.

Are you for real? Some reporters are lazy and do not report all the accurately. Some would twisted the words to make it more interesting to grab the attention of readers, Some reporters do not tell us the whole entire story, we might hear one-side of the story. Some reporters stretch the truth.

If they are writing for the National Enquirer, maybe. But this was not a tabloid rag.

And, yes, it is my opinion. And your opinion is that he is playing the race card, If you have that opinion, then surely it must be based on something. I am simply asking you it is that causes you to believe that he is playing the race card in this case.

Good riddance. :roll:

How do the writers and editor get their story? from people, press conferences, and interviews.

Writers are responsible for the content of their articles, and for providing the slugline and dateline.

Editors are responsible for editing the content. Sometimes they edit the article to fit the viewpoint of their publication or site. Sometimes they also create the heads, sub-heads, and captions. Usually the layout person makes the headlines, especially for print media, because they look at the layout in its entirety, not just as one article. The headline has to "fit" the page, in size, wording, style, and content, also taking into consideration which page it's on, and what other stories and ads are adjacent to it. Electronic media's a little different but they still have considerations to make other than simply the raw information.
