The three detectives who had been charged in the shooting of Sean Bell with 50 police bullets were acquitted yesterday.Now many people and celebrities are stating their opinions on the matter.
Ice Cube:
“This is just another example that the justice system in America views a black life as worthless.
Chamillionaire:
“It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know that shooting an innocent, unarmed man 50-plus times is an excessive use of force,It scares me to know what type of power is given to people who are supposed to be protecting us from harm.”
UGK’s Bun B:
“The verdict is almost as tragic as the incident.”
DJ Drama:
“To wake up and see that — as much as things change, the more they stay the same. Anybody with a voice, you gotta use your voice and speak on it when you see injustice. That’s what I think it is: injustice.”
There really aren’t words for this and the many other forms of injustice against blacks in this country.
