@billybillyboab He was shot at 41 times, hit 19 times. He ran from men identifying themselves as police officers. He drew a rectangular object (his wallet) from his pocket when he was only backlit by a vestibule light. The LEOs opened fire at a man holding a small, rectangular object.
The saddest thing about Amadou Diallo's death is that it was was totally avoidable, and caused by mistakes made and hasty actions taken by both himself and the officers.

Another great job by Boss!
Sad that the video and the audio didn't match well though (by the end of the song, the video was about a whole bar behind the audio)

wow

such a powerful song,love you Bruce!

The lyrics, music and performance of this song, prove that he is the Boss. Creating silence like that equals the start of Thunder Road in Barca in 2002.

I'd like to see anyone who can make an audience snap into silence like that!

@JakeFoxLong hello, I didn't know he was married, thanx a lot!

@robertuuces Patti Scialfa? She's Bruce's wife.

@fredriquemagic It was I joke I wasn't serious
The furore over this song was as baffling as it was distrubting. Bruce wrote about a murder, pure and simple, and yet the media and NYPD and Mayor Giulani turned on him for doing so. Shooting someone 41 times is excessive even if you think he is a crimnal. I am a freelance writer and in my review of Springsteen's Top 20 tracks, this had to be make the list. The guiater solo at the bridge represents the anguish of Diallo's mother.
