No Low Bail! No Peace?
No Low Bail! No Peace?
If you do it to me once, shame on you. If you do it to me twice, shame on me. This is the way I feel about Sean Bell et. al. after March 19, 2007. The cops, who participated in the gunning down of Sean Bell and the critical wounding of Joseph Guzman and Trent Benefield, are guilty of committing crimes against humanity. Previously, it happened in Amadou Diallo.
These cops are now out on extremely low bail given the access of the Detective Endowment Association to cash and influence and to the shocking nature of the crimes that caused grievous harm to Sean Bell et. al. This level of cruel and unusual punishment is not even permitted in Utah which permits firing squads, nor on battlefields.
If five, Black cops had used a 50-shot fusillade against three, white, suspected, serial killers, they would be doing push-ups behind bars today. In every criminal transaction, the racial identity of the victim and the racial identity of the perpetrator guide all decisions in the criminal justice system.
Justice Bruce Wright taught us that the decision to grant bail and the amount of bail are indicators of how serious the criminal justice system takes a criminal accusation. If we are able to connect the dots, we now know that the three assassins in Sean Bell et. al will walk.
This 50-shot fusillade constitutes, at the very least, murder-one. This means that if you were able to miraculously convince a judge to grant bail, it would be astronomical. The prosecutor’s office, however, would have to be placed in a strait-jacket and the judge would be directed to answer immediate charges from the Commission on Judicial Conduct. Compare PBA and Justice Wright.
The prosecutor’s office would immediately appeal the bail decision to the Appellate Division, Second Judicial Department. This did not happen in People v. Oliver, et. al. because it was the prosecutor’s office that worked out a low bail proposal with the defense. Everyone missed the bail issue. Instead, we were responding to the media’s claim about a possible change of venue.
I will make this point again. Until we are able to raise the right question, we are not ready for prime time and we will lose every fight against every act of injustice. In the legal system, you must have the ability to engage in critical thinking and legal reasoning.
Our HNIC was on his soapbox threatening that the victims would not cooperate with the prosecutor’s office if the case is moved to another venue. They are no longer necessary witnesses. See Central Park jogger case. In the meantime, the three cops were boarding a getaway car right under his nose.
This HNIC was unable to connect the dots. The cops did not call Justice Wright “cut-em-loose Bruce” for nothing. The NYPD knew that a defendant who was able to be at liberty during a criminal prosecution had enhanced his or her opportunity to beat the rap. When the Queens prosecutor suggested low bail, or no bail, the defendants started putting on their dancing shoes.
The March 19 bail decision in Queens, after the assassination of Sean Bell, was the last nail out of the coffin. There was no surrender of passports and no requirement that the cops must report to probation despite the allegation of possible drug or alcohol abuse. There was also no court order restricting possession of firearms.
To make matters worse, the prosecutor refused to allow the victims to be heard at the arraignment and especially on the question of bail. The judge should have heard, from them, on the impact and severity of the crimes on the victims. If the victims had been white and the perpetrators were Black, the victims would have been allowed to speak out against releasing the perpetrators on bail.
The next to the second nail out of the coffin was the lack of quorum during grand jury deliberations, etc. The cops are playing with house money and they will enjoy the “work product” of the prosecutor’s office if they decide to take advantage of facing double jeopardy.
The next to the last nail out of the coffin was the indictment which failed to reflect what happened in Queens on November 25, 2006. This was a crime against humanity. There is also a violation of civil and human rights. There is no allegation of “stop and frisk” or violations of racial profiling because New York has no special legislation against police terrorism.
It goes always back to the first decision not to cuff the suspects at the crime scene and deliver them to the local criminal court. Instead, they have been armed to the teeth and ready for bear since November 25, 2006. These cops have never been considered as posing a threat to whites. Blacks are irrelevant.
Given all of these transgressions, our HNIC said that he expects convictions and that he has faith in the criminal justice system. It is of no moment to him that more than five million Blacks are trapped in the criminal justice system. Prosecutors’ offices throughout the land are conducting political hits on Blacks.
Of course, it is also unimportant that Queens District Attorney Richard Brown co-signed my suspension order on May 21, 1990 after I refused to cooperate with State Attorney General Robert Abrams against Rev. Al Sharpton. Brown was a member of the Brooklyn Appeals Court which disciplined me in May 1990.
Las Vegas is taking bets from all Blacks who believe that these three assassins are going to prison for murdering Sean Bell and critically wounding Guzman and Benefield. Only Blacks, blindly following an HNIC, would make this bet. This would be the safest bet for bookies in the history of gambling. It is called putting your money where you mouth is.
