Shooting of Sean Bell Obviously Not Racist

Posted By: J.J. Jackson* on November 29, 2006

There are a lot of people who think that when cops opened fire on Sean Bell, killing him, after he left a New York club where he was being given a bachelor’s party.

While the exact facts are still being found out including whether or not the officers rightfully believed that there weapons were about to be drawn against them there are other lightly reported facts that are “lightly” reported to continue to perpetuate the myth of racism.

Detective Mike Oliver, who fired 31 shots, and Officer Mike Carey, who fired three times, are both white - as is Lt. Gerard Napoli, the supervising officer who did not fire his weapon. The two other officers who fired the remaining shots are both black. Their names have not been revealed.

Ok. So there were 50 shots fired. 31 were fired by “white” officers and 19 were fired by “black” officers. Anyone care to explain how two black officers firing 19 rounds on other black men is racism?

It may turn out to have been terribly bad judgment worthy of punishment. But it certainly is not “racism”. So instead of race baiting like a bunch of Jesse “Hymietown” Jackson wanna bes let’s get the facts first.
