In what marked the end of one of the most high-profile police-involved shooting trials in New York City history, a judge on Friday acquitted three NYPD detectives of all charges in the shooting death of 23-year-old Sean Bell. The unarmed groom was gunned down in a hail of 50 bullets outside a Queens strip club on what would have been his wedding day in November 2006.Justice Arthur Cooperman delivered the verdict in a Queens courtroom packed with spectators, including victim Bell's fiancee and parents, as at least 200 people gathered outside the building. Inside the courtroom, spectators gasped. Bell's fiancee immediately walked out of the room; his mother cried. I'm not one to hate police but what the hell is this? Our pals at VH1 report how outraged the hip-hop community is..........Always "Only in NYC." To serve and protect??? Have these jerks learned from the Amadou Diallo case?
