NEW YORK - Three detectives were acquitted Friday in the 50-shot killing of an unarmed groom-to-be on his wedding day, a case that put the NYPD at the center of another dispute involving allegations of excessive firepower.

Scores of police officers surrounded the courthouse to guard against potential chaos, and as news of the verdict spread, many in the crowd began weeping. Others were enraged, swearing and screaming "Murderers! Murderers!" or "KKK!"


The one cop fired 31 round, 31!!!!!
He had to empty his clip and re-load and continue firing at the unarmed man.
Although I wasn't on the jury, how does three police officers shoot at a guy 50 times?
I mean I could understand if they paniced and fired off 10-20 rounds, but to actually re-load and keep firing?
This reeks of blue wall to me.

And they got away with it. No justice, no peace.

how did he miss so many times
