17. #14... Who cares what color... I happen to be colored, and am sick of people like you who always have to try to bring in the race card. Does it really matter the color of skin whether it be yellow, black white, asian, american, indian? I think not, Focus on the details of the case, not on the colors of those involved because all this does is cause racial tension... Read your bible...

Gee - what gutter did you crawl out of? This had nothing to do with race. It was a situation that got out of hand. And by the way - I hate to say it but the guy caused the situation. I get so tired of the police getting beat up for doing their job. This man has to take responsiblity also.

P.s. I am not white.

24. blame the whites for everything why don't you - give me a break. this isn't a white/black issue so stop with the crap. if a white person was shot by a black person there wouldn't be protests. life goes on. if everyone concentrated on bettering themselves, working and keeping family first then we'd all be a lot better off - this goes for both whites AND blacks

Posted at 8:22PM on May 7th 2008 by tired of hearing this crap

30.
opposing the acquittal 3 N.Y.C. detectives
hat for a department justified shooting;

please realize that these civil rights " activist " get an
appearance fee and expense paid prior to their arrival;

it is siphoned through a church group under the
justified pretense so it will be a non-profit donation.

the ONLY bonafide crime committed here is
process in which these " activist " get paid........
