50 rounds fired by NYPD police killing Sean Bell, the night before his wedding, during an alleged altercation. The judge in the case has decided that this was a justifiable response from "highly trained professionals".
"Oliver squeezed off 31 shots; Isnora fired 11 rounds; and Cooper shot four times."
Even if Bell was fighting w/ them, 50 ROUNDS!? Reloading multiple times!? That's called trigger-happy, not law enforcement. This is exactly how the LA riots started. I hope the residents on NYC don't emulate that.

To be fair 31 shots is most likely only one reload. It's still at least two dozen more than I would think would be justified.
After reading the story and finding out that The Rev. Al Sharpton and the Rev. Jesse Jackson both came out to support the 'victims' I'm inclined to believe that the cops where justified in spite of the large number of shots fired.
