Reenactment of actual shooting in New York part 1

[mekdemscream]

everybody in DA hood knows that police never I.D themselfs when jumping out on you, they alway approach in a very hostile manner. with fire in they eyes. they threat you as a criminal rightaway. they search you at time and never tell you whats the reason.. bomb shell, all police R require to take a daily pill as they starts they shift and wat dis pill does,it pumps em up taking away fear it make em hostile and antagonistic toward citizens, thats Y they always on the edge, and shoot at U 41 TIMe

[mekdemscream]

i dont beleive a fucking word that comes out of any police stink mouth. that what they do best is kill and lie about it, what was his discription black!! i mean it was winter everyone dress damn near the same mostlikely a black tam and a black coat. if thats the case the hold city is a suspect. unless you bein harass by police you wont understand what we go thru in these police states. these cop are rogue thug that rides around like they are untouchables,ready to kill instead of protect n serve

[haitianking1084]

Any black man will "fit the description." I am sick of this!

[gaminghero47]

It took 41 rounds because it take only a few seconds to unload a clip of 12?

[job1785]

I disagress with that. They were looking for a serial rapist. If they see someone that fits the description of a rapist that sounds like probable cause. They were not going to arrest him or frisk him. They were going to question him. What are they suppose to do when they are someone who fits a discription.

[cunard61]

@job1785 The rapist claim was only a suspicion made by Officer Carrol. A suspicion is not Probable Cause (PC). The Judge, in his instructions, said that in order to be justified in the actions the officer's took, Diallo HAD to be under arrest, meaning they would have had to established PC, because PC = arrest. The FIRST action they took was approaching Diallo, but by the Judges instructions, they had to have PC already established. Why? Because he was on his own Property. It is what it is.

[DaMostEnigmatic]

but why did it take up to 41 shots to realize he was down and had no gun, although this shouldn't have happened at all to begin with, RIP

[RabidG1]

This video is an embarrassment to cops.

[TheBeachOfficial]

sounds like the guy from cake boss

[cunard61]

If you read the judges instructions from the crminal hearing on this case, you'd know that Diallo was standing on private property. The Officers never established probable cause to even make an approach of this man. They violated his 4th ammendment rights, and killed him as a result of that violation. That's why the Grand Jury handed down a charge of second degree murder in the case. However, the Albany Judge kept that information away from the jury in the criminal trial.

[rmkeeton]

@cunard61

Officers aren't required to have probable cause to approach anyone. Officers can approach anyone at any time for any reason. They must have what the law calls "reasonable suspicion" to temporarily detain someone for investigation that an individual is involved in criminal activity (see the Terry v. Ohio case). During the investigative detention, the officer must gain enough evidence to establish probable cause to justify an arrest or they must release the suspect.

[cunard61]

@rmkeeton Reasonable suspicon only applies to people who are on public property, ie the street ,a sidewalk, or a public park. If you're standing on private property, as Diallo was in this case, the officers have to establish probable cause to go onto his property to make an approach. The Fourth Amendment prevents unreasonable searchs and seizures from taking place on private property. Terry v. Ohio applies only to people who are standing on public property, it's Constitutional Law, look it up.

[job1785]

@cunard61 Diallo was standing outside of the building. It was a public sidewalk. The police had every right to stop him without probable cause.

[cunard61]

@job1785 No, I read the trial transcrips, and by the officer's own testimony, he was standing on the front step of his home. He was on his own property, and they went onto his property without Probable Cause. Even the Judges Instructions pointed out that the Officers weren't justified in there actions. But the jurors failed to apply the law based on what happened. They missed it.

[MeritisDE]

Devouringhearts: I will protect myself, can't trust cops for anything these days.

Second this little dago Dietl is a reason why abortion should stay on the books.

[jason4643]

fuck the pigs

[devouringhearts]

lol are people really bitching about something that happened 11 years ago. i mean a mistakes a mistake. dont hold it against the lapd. the guy might have been shot 41 times but guess what im sure the first or second one did the trick. he died, just another man, just another day. dont hold shit against the people who protect you. they were just doing their job.

[Jeebaah]

@devouringhearts It's absurd to think that we all secretly want to rob rape and kill each other, and the only thing that's stopping us is our government. Just doing your job is NEVER be an excuse for anything. I guess the Nazi's in Germany were just doing their jobs, right? Cops cannot protect you, they can only deter and help out after the fact. If someone wants to kill you and doesn't make it obvious, they will kill you.

[RAIDERS58th]

Further to the comment you left on my profile; If you didn't understand my original post why did you respond to it?

[RAIDERS58th]

@RAIDERS58th

[MaliAussie]

What a big load of shit! Is he trying to tell us that trigger-happy cops said that he reached to his pocket and that's when the fired the 41 rounds? Who else was there to prove it? The dead man? Or he's saying that they told the truth? Since when did cops become so ethical that they confess against themselves?

It's time all police officers use cams whenever they are dealing with the public in order to stop their abuse of power. Fucking period!

[mykinfoknew]

Disinformation.

I dont care how many kids these pigs have. Dont try and make me feel sorry for them.

[ISUPPORTTHEKKK]

its funny they were looking for guns, and they wonder why guns r on the streets cause the government puts guns on the street so theirs crme to kill off the people who they dont want

[MrBad1habit]

FUKINNNN BULLLSHITTTTT fukin pigs shut the fuk up

[AyoWazPoppin]

This "pigs" are the ones that keep you safe at night, so i think you should the the fuck" up.

[MrBad1habit]

nahh i dont think these pigs keep me safe at night i'd rather not have em am better off without them

[msolano3467]

@AyoWazPoppin keep who safe? if youre a person who follows the status quo an represent an American identity than sure..they protect those who look like citizens but they dont protect all of us ..we all have different experiences with the police, justice and prison system and so dont try to paint that normal picture that paints the police as heroes and the "other" as the criminals

[luckiswhathappens]

This is absolute shit. What a real shame.

[Power41488]

This video is hilarious I am so glad God is killing you white faggot liberals, and niggers with Hiv/Aids.

[EvilStickMen1234]

fuck the fuckin police

they think if your black or if you hat is crooked to then side than your a fuckin criminal or a gang member

if i could kill one person n get away wit it i would kill a police cheif

the pigs should stay at the fuckin farm

[dagodpops]

fuck them and this bullshit ass propoganda video. if you live in da hood you know them bitches dont jump out on you like that. if you a foriegner from another country you will be scared shitless how they do jump out on you. and if you see how that hallway really is you know its know way it really happened like this.

[BallinNQnz]

It is amazing how anyone can defend the actions of these cops. Diallo was an innocent man minding his own business. They violated his 4th amendment rights. Jus b.c he stared at the unmarked car meant he was a "suspect." WTF???? And since when is a wallet deadly force. Where are people gonna keep their money and ID? Around their necks.

[msolano3467]

@BallinNQnz your right its racial profiling and racial labeling and its the consequence of mainstream media and discourse that criminalizes black and brown bodies..

[RAIDERS58th]

This video is racist police propaganda of the worst kind and should be banned from YOUTUBE. It's also just another case of peripheral ethnic whites, in this case Italian and Irish "whites" using blacks and violence against blacks as coin to buy their way into real white society.

[msolano3467]

@RAIDERS58th why cant u just accept the truth.. the "hero" stereotype put upon the police had definetely vanished in the eyes of minorities

[RAIDERS58th]

@msolano3467 I don't understand your comment. What are you trying to say? Are you agreeing with me or not?

[smokeyvelvet42]

Do us all a favor and shut up, you are only making yourself look more rediculous then you are ready are. You were a so called police detective. What did you expect to come from your mouth. You are not speaking to someone who is dumb, ignorant, or illiterate. This killing was not justified by any means. The poor guy was firing at the police with his wallet, as a matter of fact it was still smoking when the cops stopped shooting. He was black and all blacks are guilty. and they all look alike.

[smokeyvelvet42]

The old cliches, he looks suspicous, he fits the description, and he is black ! All blacks look a like dont they ? Who is this moron trying to justify the shooting, the village idiot, or the court jester ? He should shut up, how ludicrous can you get ? Mr. Diallo you were black, at the wrong time & wrong place, your command of the english language could have been your downfall as well. Welcome to the USA we kill blacks with impunity and keep our streets clean,hallaluyah can i get a rebel yell

[MeritisDE]

Mr. Dietl, it was this incident where I lost

all respect for law enforcement.

The officers in question should have been

convicted for first degree murder.

[p3x4567]

Bo Dietl is the most celebrated cop in the history of the Police Dept in NYC there was a movie made about him , Not all cops are like that I am a retired NYC police officer and I was never like the stereo type you describe. I was well liked and got alone with everyone I had a job to do but I never in 25 yr history abused any individual Black or white I show all respect or never had to use my weapon. It is unfortunate that a few rotten apples within the dept spoil it for all the others

[MeritisDE]

I cannot celebrate Dietl as he is attempting to justify this horrific act.

[item77]

Fuck the police..

[dblock1175]

does were some bitch ass cops u kno y cus my whole family knew him he was so nice and WHEELER IS NOT ONLY MY HOOD BUT EVERY BODY WHO LIVED THERE AND I LIVED THERE BUT THE GOOD THING IS HE IS IN PEACE

[hialtrescue]

may allah grant him jannah ameen

[Makaveli13Xroy]

the cops felt they were in danger ? FFS 1 fuckin guy unarmed again 4 armed cops ?? How THE FUCK do you feel in danger ? GOddamn thats just FUCKIN retarded to the highest degree

[msknowitalll2009]

i don't believe some imbecile had the audacity 2 really take time n try 2 justify police brutality. im in total awe of this. u sick sons of bitches mean 2 tell me it took 40+ shots b4 u hicks realized the man was not armed ? correct me if i'm wrong when using deadly force aren't u suppose 2 aim 4 the legs first ? tell me something would u look at this situation the same way if it had been u or sum1 close 2 u ? n wats ur exscuse 4 sean bells murder, u guyz r full of but im prayin 4 ur soulz

[SupaAmi]

This video and so-called re-enactment is BULLSHIT!

Amadou Diallo WASN'T FROM GUYANA, HE WAS FROM GUINEA WHICH IS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT COUNTRY, LOCATED IN A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT CONTINENT.

You Americans complete IGNORANCE when it comes to geography is so enraging it's not even funny. Fucking idiots. And you want to pretend you give a fuck about Diallo when you don't even take the time of the day to actually CHECK YOUR FACTS before you shoot a biased bullshit story about his death.

GROSS.

[SPOT187]

Guyana not Haiti ... but thats not the point he was shot because he was black & 22 years old just like Oscar

[SupaAmi]

NO, God I'm so sick of this. He was NOT from Guyana, he was from Guinea which is an entirely different country, located in a completely different continent.

[SPOT187]

What ever the point I was making was he was a black man & was seen as a criminal & as a potential threat because he was BLACK

[deobeon]

with me being a very understanding person and having my prejudices about things i can't help but believe that the cops in fact were really FUCKED UP! that's all it is...that's what i believe and know and don't have any other way of putting it! wrongly accused because of a description malfunction! who the hell do they think they are? o yea i forgot. cops! uuuhh! jus to think you have these people out here to protect us and instead they kill us! kiss my ass! fucking pigs!

[mrdooba]

diallo understood english right? why was he walking away and not just defend himself. if you were any of the officers u would be suspicious im sure. diallo was dumb to be walking away. maybe he did something wrong.

[SPOT187]

I know you didnt just say that. You are the dumb one the only thing he done wrong was being born a black man. Dialo was an immigrant from Haiti and was getting off from work after a long day of work when he seen a group of men coming towards him he assumed they were goin to rob him so he took off his watch then he realized it was the cops so he tried to take out his wallet to show his I.D & was shot 41 times ...now how can u justify that

[mrdooba]

erm my black friend... maybe you need me to spell my question out for you. 'diallo understood english right?' anyway, put your black feet in the cops shoes. thats all i want to bring across here. Chill....

[SupaAmi]

Maybe he DIDN'T understand any English. Or maybe he did understand what they were saying, but didn't trust they were cops since they were wearing civilian clothes and he probably couldn't see their badges that well (hey if they could mistake a wallet for a gun, then why claim Diallo could see their badges?)

Diallo was an illegal immigrant from Guinea. Even if he did believe they were cops is it so unlikely that MAYBE he was trying to escpape from them because he didn't want to be deported?

[StuntnNYC101]

Yo i dont give a fuk, FUK THE NYPD, THESE NIGGAZ TAKE OUT SUM1 NEW EVERY YEAR in NYC... I swear the NYPD has to be the most crooked police force, I dont give a fuk these clowns wasn't even dressed nd they didnt have an actual car... I fukin hate these assholes

RIP

Amadou Diallo

Patrick Dorismond

Tim Stansbury

Sean Bell

[thirdeye47]

i am right with you on that brother. Fuck em good

[chipoetess]

"you use DEADly physical force, to protect human LIFE"

how oxymoronic

[PADDYKPK]

wyclef jean - diallo diallo listen to it , r i p diallo

[Ernad23]

Man these crackers are defending the popo that killed Diallo! This is bullshit! R.I.P Diallo and Sean Bell!!

[Leroikaff]

you are bob didle?screw you fat boy.how can you publish such a sick piece of crap? how can you call that shooting a "tragedy". that was more of a racist-fucked up-antiblackpeople- act from the official force of the government. what about that?

"all the cops know about feelings" feel my knob.

and all the story about the serial rapist..well, he was just a poor black man, tryng to have a life in your highly racist country.

can't believe how much of a lying piece of shit this is...tks for posting

[KEYBOOSKY]

YEA THEY CLEANED THIS SHYT UP REAL NICE PIGTONE RACIST MFs, JUSTIFY THIS ALL YOU WANT JUDGEMENT IS COMING FOR ALL YOU PIGTONE HELLBOUND ABBERATION DEVILISH MFs

[morenaso1]

Is it a coincidence that none of these cops were black?wtf is this? racial profiling?

[haave88]

What this video is supposed to prove? Even to me who knows nothing of the case it sounds very UNclear what really happened.

If you ask a police whether a cop did something wrong is the result: this clip..

[ealfinez]

This video is a crock, this stinks and regulations need to change. The officers thought they were being fired upon? How so? Did they see any muzzel flash emulating Diallo? Had he had a gun he would have lit up the hallway. Also you can not empty a clip in a matter of seconds the sean bell case proved that. This case even though its old, brings up those same feelings especially now with S.Bell, these cherries need to be trained or get OFF the force.

[bj132001]

Yes you can empty a clip in a matter of seconds.

[cunard61]

This case is a perfect example of why plain clothed undercover officers should never be approaching people on the street at night. If the person doesn't speak English, something that's probably common in a city as diverse as NY, then anything said by the cops is not going to be understood by the very person who needs to understand what's said. Only uniformed officers should be making these kinds of approaches. As this case shows, to much can go wrong otherwise.

[bj132001]

If they spoke English it wouldn't be a problem.

[cunard61]

An ability to speak English isn't required to live in America. It's an needless risk to have plain clothed officers approaching people on the street. Detective Isnora has just been charged in the departmental investigation of the Sean Bell shooting for making an approach in plain cloths. I think NYPD policy was changed as a result of this shooting.

[trenchie2]

another interesting thing to add, the cop's lawyer cited the diallo case as defense as all the cops were let off, but the Indian judge said, "This is particularly the reason why in India we do not depend on jury trial, there can be no scope for mistaken id in an urban area with innocents all around."

[trenchie2]

The same thing happened in India in 1997. Here's what happened; location: Connaught Place, New Delhi. Cops in FULL uniform have info that a mafia team is headed their way in a navy blue sedan. They see a blue sedan, go trigger happy, kill two out of the three occupants and it turns out they were innocent businessmen. The head of operations plants guns in the car to escape trouble. His own officers blew the whistle on him and in 2007 he was handed life in prison.

[sheydances]

To ehunter2: yea there aren't any naacp rallies for b/on/b crime..nobody have marches when "civilians" are killin each other over there own ignorance BUT ya wanna know what else..we're not expecting them to "protect and serve" us either! A cop is understood to be someone you can trust (altho we know thats not always true), and stop innocent crimes!!

[sheydances]

yea the cop who yelled "gun" was not ready for the streets!and why would someone be shooting at you trying to get in a door CLEARLY w/ their back towards you!~ they should have gotten behind cover and proceeded from their, I'm sure he would be alive today!

[meisterrain]

raul guinea is not in west africa and if he did speak 5 language damn would he be peddling he's smart. thats clear chicken shit scared useless unloading of weapons.

[BeYouBeTru]

TRAINED ASSASSINS

[DigitalPraise7]

i would have ran from them crazy crackers too...and i am White!

[wad5859]

this is a clear cut case of NYPD MURDER. There is no question that this guy was afraid and was going back in to the house. Who wouldn't be afraid when a bunch of people pull up and jump out, regardless of whether or not they are yelling "police." don't go too far overboard about B/on/B shooting, the cops are getting their share too.

[ehunter2]

The Iraq War has cost 4000 lives. During the same 5 year period Blacks have killed 20,000 people here in America. No big rallies, no Al Sharpton, no journalists with phoney concern on their faces...no politicians. Nothing. Thats the reality of Black Culture in this country.

[ladyphat85]

dats not funny dick head

[hunterdonhillbilly]

NEXT TIME AMADOU WHAT I IS TOLD

[rauldougou]

Amadou Diallo was not from Guyana, as the video says. He was from Guinea, West Africa, and I think he spoke 5 languages. In any case, this posting does not try to understand the event from the victim's perspective. The video says that their intent is to prevent such tragedies from happening again, but such deaths will occur over and over again without considering the victim's perspective.

[sharmba]

mike ciralo is a fucking dog

[CBDcastings]

Poor dudee....:(

[alisimon5]

horrible hood man

[HoodClassick]

wtf?! that wasen't 41 shots, that was like 5

[PyramidHeadX]

Reenactment should be the word for you to remember, also, that was definitely a lot more than 5 shots.

[presidentmensah]

the man could have ignored 100 warnings, you don't shoot 41 rounds at one person (mind you, there was even one cop who reloaded his gun). 41 shots wouldn't even kill and elephant. come on people.

now, i understand why the cops would shoot (i think its pretty understandable), but as i wrote earlier 41 shots is unacceptable.

[presidentmensah]

its funny how the reenactment doesn't cover the 41 shots (you can only hear about 8, 10 at the most!)

[migtana]

Wow its unbelievable to hear a cops say senseless talk that Diallo's death was a tragedy,this are cops who have definately discussed shoting to death any slitest move from a black man that night.Tragedy!okay please tell us about 41 shots? 41 shots? 41 shots?. You can fool the people sometimes,but not all the time.I guaranty the cops that pulled the trigger,you'll never know peace till your end,except you confess you intentions that night.

PS. This disrespect is going to stop!

[Post2it]

If I am the black guy and saw 4 huge white guys coming toward my at 12:00 am in that kinda of neighborhood. I would run too. They dont look like cops, they should have those jackets with "NYPD" written on the back for identifications.

[NYPD115]

Dude, they are UNDERCOVER so why woyld they have jackets with NYPD on them. They did everything right, because they said "NYPD" and they had their shields out. They guy should've stopped and shown them his hands instead of reaching into a pocket which in the dark or at daytime can be mistaken for reaching for a gun. If he did that he wouldn't be dead.

[IGproduction24]

this was sad

[whaledog77]

Hi I am the Black guy who shot I am dead.

[lotusgtone]

Has anyone else seen that fat cop on the daily show before? They used to interview him all the time.

[shuga635]

sounds like an excuse.

[wabdinur]

When cops make mistakes, they just say "we're sorry and we'll try our best to never let that happen again. Our sympathies go out to the family of the deceased blah blah blah". Now if a citizen mistakes an undercover cop for a crook with a fake police badge and happens to shoot the undercover cop, it would be a lot different.

[cunard61]

Cops rarely get convicted for these kinds of shootings, which usually get labeled mistakes. The victim's family might as well just sue the city, and agree to have the cops involved lose their jobs. Unless the cop is commiting an outright crime, or they shoot someone in a reckless manner, they usually don't get convicted in court. The shooting is just labeled a tragic mistake, and that ends it. So why even bother taking the case to court?

[SchoolofSoul]

Black people in New York City need to "feel as though their lives are in danger" any time a cop so much as looks at them from now on. And, as such, they should shoot every cop that even glances at them, and then claim self-defense. "Oops, I thought the cop was going to kill me! That's the honest truth!"

[SupaAmi]

You hypocrite. Those cops are making the same excuses "Oops, I thought the black man was going to kill me! That's the honest truth! His wallet totally looked like a gun to me!"

[SchoolofSoul]

Clearly, you do not understand the concept of irony, nor sarcasm. Unfortunate.

[SupaAmi]

I am familiar with sarcasm and use it quite often myself. I recognize good sarcasm when I see it.

A lot of people on this page say things similar to what you just said, and REALLY mean it. There is no way of knowing whether someone is serious or not when they express themselves like you did. I can't hear the tone of your voice, see your face or even read your mind. Maybe you should learn how to use sarcasm in a proper way through text, and you might not look as foolish next time.

Good luck.

[SchoolofSoul]

Hey, thanks for passing judgment on a total stranger twice in one thread. I'm sure your fecal matter has absolutely no adverse olfactory evidence.

[SupaAmi]

Are you on crack or did you not just pass judgement on me by telling me I have no understanding of sarcasm?

If you don't want people to criticize you then maybe you should start with not criticizing others. Then maybe you should get off the Internet.

You're quite hilarious.

[SchoolofSoul]

You were not being personally criticized, nor were you being personally insulted as a human being. If I made a misstatement of fact, I am more than willing to stand corrected for it.

You were rude and insulting. Perhaps that is common in Swedish culture; I don't know. If you wish to exchange insults with total strangers on the internet, however, please find someone else who is interested in playing games with you. I am not that individual.

[SupaAmi]

I think you are taking this a bit too seriously. I'm not looking for a fight, but you are being such a hypocrite, it's starting to get ridiculous.

"Clearly, you do not understand the concept of irony, nor sarcasm. Unfortunate."

And that's not rude and insulting?

You could have simply explained that you were being sarcastic without the patronizing tone, but you didn't, so please refrain from whining about me being mean to you.

On that note, I'm done with you. Have a good one.

[SchoolofSoul]

Thank goodness. I thought you'd never shut up.

[dantej32]

HMMMM THE FOLKS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD CAN MAKE AN UNMARKED VEHICLE HUH. then why have an unmarked vehicle? Try not having 4 WHITE MEN CRUISING A BLACK NEIGHBORHOOD AT NIGHT.

[JimmaaAbbajifaar]

the justification doen't make any sense. this one of the worst mistake the police did. we know they are not gone say it is their fault. this trajedy is similar to what happend to Rodney King in 1992 in Los Angeles

[mooneez]

violence is only allowed to travel downwards in this culture. that is normal and routine. if it travels upwards, that's a travesty and a news story and often a parade for the victims who are, in reality, our oppressors and their agents.

you know whats more dangerous than being a cop anywhere in america? garbageman. sorry, 'sanitation worker'. hell, i'd wager it's probably more dangerous to just be black in new york than it is to be a cop.

[mooneez]

there is no trace of 'blame the victim' for the victim (cop) of a car bumping his knee because he stupidly ran in front of it.

[mooneez]

another example: the poorly written 'more info' on the right hand side of the page comparing this case to that of sean bell last year states that "one of the undercover officers ran in front of Bell's car to see if there were any weapons inside. Sean Bell proceeded to strike the cop with his car injuring his knee." blaming sean bell for his own death.

[mooneez]

i believe it comes down to this: the man was afraid those white devils had come to kill him. on a very fundamental level, was he wrong?

[NkrumahTure]

NO.

[mooneez]

thank you,shqipe4zemer and bdainvestigations, for your examples of 'blame the victim' rhetoric we've all come to expect from american media and it's cheerleading victims. this is a story told from police testimony and presented and edited by a cop. i'm sure they made themselves look as good as possible under the circumstances both at the time of the shooting and for this propaganda piece here.

[shqipe4zemer]

these people dont understand, when given an order from a police officer to stop and show your hands, thats exactly what you should do, dont fuck around looking for a wallet in the middle of the night, cuz you'll get a bunch of bullets up the ass..... got what he got comming....

[RedBeardedScot]

fuking devils would have planted the gun in his hand if the black gentleman would of had one in his waistband

[peeplife]

The man they killed,Amadou Diallo was african from guinea!

[ghandi87]

sad....real sad!!!

[neezy5]

heath1 is a retarded hipocrit ...go suck sumtin

[blkmanslyfe]

man datz some bullshit, i hate crooket pigz man.

[firethehouseman]

Thats fuckn sad that they killed an innocent man :)

[RudeBoy170]

GET THE FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUCK OUTTAT HERE!!! Im from the South Bronx...1. thats not how these pigs talk to/deal wit us....2. we all fit the description! 3. a pig emptied a clip and reloaded. whos account of the incident is this anyway. Shit like this make my blood boil! FUCK NYPD! FUCK JULIANI!

[TonyRose113]

fit the description, he was black...and it only takes one scared ass white cop who used to get his ass beat all the time when he was in school to scream gun. Idiots!

[MichaelBarnes]

The cop was black...

[kel22555]

YOUR MOTHER IS A WHORE

[MichaelBarnes]

That's how I'm getting through college, so I'm not knocking it.

[debolt666]

yeah right i'm sure that's how it really happened ..

only a dumbass whiteboi would believe that bullshit..

[gongj123]

Very sad. blacks are afraid of cops bc they get harrassed by them all the time. cops are targeting blacks bc they have higher crime ratios. blacks have higher crime ratios bc poor parenthood. poor parenthood due inheritance and years of discrimination and hatred. this is a typical crash situation. there is no one to blame.

[telengardc64]

Blacks should be afraid of the real enemy, people in their own community. Over 8000 people were murdered in NYC during the last ten years, most in low income areas.

[telengardc64]

Controversial shootings involving the NYPD happen so infrequently you can remember all the deceased by name over the last 10 years. Who really is the threat ? It ain't the cops killing all these people. The hard work of NYC cops have knocked the murder rate down from 2200 a year in 1992 to less than 700 a year today. Thousands of mostly minority lives have been saved because of the actions of NYC cops.

[gongj123]

I would hope so. we pay tax and tax money goes to NYPD. It is their job to save lives and create order. But when they endanger the public by doing reckless things we get pissed off! They should only send black cops to black neigberhood. this way no racial issues. just blue and black.

[telengardc64]

Some of the cops involved in the shooting were black !! Barron says the race of cops don't matter because a cop is a cop. The NYPD has a large percentage of minority cops.

[Heath1]

Oh Yeah Right, What and have black cops sell drugs and gangs pretty much have the run of the neighborhood. No Thanks. White cops do a whole alots better job of keeping law and order.

[bigt3045]

u must not b of color. lol, lol, lol

[johnny8327]

hey naz u stipid moron learn how to spell first. you must be a straight "A" student by that impeccable grammer. I wont even respond about your retarded comment abut the incident since you have no clue of what you are writing about.

[Naz187]

yo what Cracker bullshit iz thiz WTF thiz shit didnt happen they saw a black that alwayz fit the describtion and they shoot him dead secondly they were all off duty so how waz they on the job lookin for a criminal?

[rockincj]

Lol accident or murder... Give me a break.

[Alphorian]

I'm no fan of the police. I will agree they have a tough job with tough decisions to make more often then not. I mean Diallo and Sean Bell was straight foul. There are times when they get the real bad guy which may turn out to save your life or someone you love in the near future. When I was teen I reacted real ignorant to cops but I got kids now and it matters to me if the streets are safe. Don't end up in the coroners office cause you wanna be mocho, this ain't the movies, this is real life.

[winrx]

50 bullets is way too many to waste on only one nigger - that's what I have to say! Ya gots to try harder next time NYPD!!

[Alphorian]

I bet that's real funny to you, one day you will regret saying that

[nukmusic]

internet crackas will always talk shit online...but we all know "never face to face"...LOL

[Naz187]

word they all inet gangstaz we kno that

[uraharashop153]

anyone who sides with the cops can go get shot by them....

[Swiffness]

Fuck the police.

[TVS1461]

Fuck You Asshole !!!

[MetalSanke]

Man you fuckers dessin the cops deserve to be shot.

[nukmusic]

This is some bullshit. If the cops were so scared. why did they all walk up to the cat like nothing was wrong. None of them took cover on the side of the building when dude was in the hall.

[mike29574]

Why didnt they take cover when they thought he had a gun? i worked in the same unit as these guys, I will tell you why. Because you have to go out and do your job. You get paid to catch people with guns. Every gun that was taken off the street by the street crime unit saves peoples lives. This is not mayberry where people carry guns to shoot squirrells. These people carry guns to kill. If someone makes a mistake, its tragic. but at the end of the day, its still a mistake. like it or not.

[nukmusic]

"Do your Job" ?? WOW... does that mean beening stupid enough to walk up to someone that you think has a weapon without any caution? 'cause that's what they did. How were you trained to confront someone with a weapon?

[mike29574]

They did not think he had a weapon when they walked up to him. They wanted to question him because they thought he looked like someone wanted for rape. He got scared whether or not he thought they were going to rob him or maybe he thought they were immigration seeing he was in this country illegaly. He spun around with a black object in his hand. When you dont know what your talking about you should shut your mouth pussy.

[klypz]

Incidents such as this only strengthen my belief that cops are no more then dumn numb headed bullies with badges who I will never have respect for. Fck them corrupt bastards and I hope they continue to get ganked on the streets by people who have the means to return fire. Fck the police.

[macktheknifeTOO]

"Incidents such as this only strengthen my belief that "

... most people in this country are clueless idiots.

This was a good shoot.

[greyman40]

you guys are a bunch of fags!

They told the stupid guy to stop and to show his hands, he didnt say anything and turned around in a dark enviroment, the officers thought he had a gun so they fired and did what they thought was best

You guys get to sit back here and rip this thing apart for a few hours these officers had a split second to make a life or death decision.

You guys oughta grow up and STFU

[osnap50]

I hope your kiddin, cause if you didnt read the FULL detailed report you shouldnt be talking

[mike29574]

I hope your kiddin, cause if you never did anti-crime patrol in the Bronx you really shouldnt be talking. Go read your reports and fool yourself into beleiving that you would do something different. but your probably right, because if you had to dowhat we did in street crime you would have just stood there and shit you rpants.

[cunard61]

Your saying the guy is stupid because he didn't speak English very well? I didn't realize it was a crime to be unable to speak English well in this country. Diallo was given the exact same amount of time to escape 2 and then 4 armed men who he believed were there to rob him. Why do you think he was trying to give them his wallet? I'll bet it wasn't to show them his ID.

[vuttondon]

The funniest thing is he mentions he hopes this prevents something like this happening again, tell that to Sean Bell faggot. Way to do your job

[topaz384]

Vengence is unto the Lord! These people and their families are going to need to need all the mercy they can get for their souls. (point of the video---> being black is cause for suspicion)

[Dvaq]

Let's not forget that these 4 men were apart of the NYC Elite Unit. Elite? Not one of the four could distinguish a gun from a wallet. 41 Bullets fired into a house with INNOCENT residents and not even NEGLIGENCE charged. Unfortunately we'll never hear AMADOU DIALLO'S side of this story because he was slaughtered like a pig with 19 BULLETS HOLES IN HIS BODY. An innocent man dead. Yes, we all know how the police feels about BLACK MEN in the UNITED STATES.

[blkbarbie4ever]

The officer said that he looked suspicious but that is for most black men in America he was standing on the porch and looked suspicious. White people must be lucky to stand on there porches they must look they are going to a polo game...

[deejae2100]

fuck the NYPD the could eat a dick!

[sjallday1]

This is bullshit, when have you ever heard cops say "excuse me sir, can we talk to you sir" GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE!! NYPD IS LINCH MOB!!!

[beautifulthings372]

Unbelievable is right. What about the fact that a man is dead? They thought they saw a gun, they were scared, when one yells gun, all bets are off? WTF? What about the fact that they KILLED A MAN? Why is this shit fucken acceptable? Why do these cowards have this kind of firepower when they can't see the fucken difference between a square wallet and a gun? Fuck NYPD. Y'all kill my kid, don't think Al Sharpton or anybody else will back me down. I'm killing one of yours!!!!

[dallastx5]

Unbelievable....sounds like a long excuse for a grave mistake...admit it....police think they know everything everyone is thinking.

[gvortega]

from a self-defense standpoint the 4 cops did not act tactically... mentioned suspect was warned but you can hear each cop shout at the same time leading to confusion, this tactical error would be amplified if they made the proper assumption that the suspect was likely to not be a native English speaker...then cops rushed suspect relatively quickly which cornered the suspect and put him in a flight or fight mode... flashlight rookies?
