Justice in America? |
||||
The four New York Police officers who gunned down Ahmadu Diallo last February were found not guilty in the murder case of Diallo today. The officers followed Diallo home one night because he was "acting suspiciously". They followed him to the appartment complex where he lived. After busting into his appartment without a search warrent, or an arrest warrent...or even a reason to believe he commited any sort of crime...the officers shot diallo 19 times, killing him. The officers claimed they thought that he was reaching for a gun, when infact he was only reaching for his wallet. Between the four officers 41 bullets were fired at Diallo. During his testimony, one of the officers broke down and cried, claiming "it was an honest mistake, but a tragic one". Forty fucking one bullets. A "mistake". Bullshit. These cops shot an unarmed minority simply because he looked like he was up to no good, and got away with it. Justice in America? of course not. |
