Crowd Tearful, Angry After Bell Trial Verdict

So who do you think should have the pleasure of ridding the world of this scum. Oh, if they are cops then being a drug addict, scum,thug or criminal is excused,what a joke

The IAB states that cops accused of stealing property made up 34 percent of the 1,057 corruption cases launched last year - with 357 thefts reported, an 8.5 percent jump over the previous year's 329 cases.
Among them were two cops at a Manhattan precinct who handled thousands of dollars collected from T-shirt sales and vending-machine proceeds for their stationhouse "club."
Investigators determined the duo skimmed about $4,000 from the club's bank account, purchasing tires for their cars, paying Internet hookup fees and cellphone bills.
Adding insult to injury, the sources said, some of the stolen cash was raised to defray medical costs incurred by the cancer-stricken daughter of an NYPD sergeant.
The duo was convicted of grand larceny at a departmental trial and fired. The DA declined to prosecute, primarily because bank records had been destroyed, sources said.
There's also Mammianne Zadja, who reportedly tried to steal from her own family, changing the deed to her father's home and removing her brother's name from it.
The 32-year-old initially obtained power of attorney for her healthy father by filing phony medical papers showing he had Alzheimer's, court papers alleged.
She then axed her brother from the deed and applied for a second mortgage on the house.
The cop was caught after a bank loan officer became suspicious when he held a conference call with Zadja and her "father," who turned out to be someone posing as her dad.
She was fired, but at the family's request, the Staten Island DA did not press charges.
Perhaps the most ghoulish thievery involved Officer Eduardo Saillant, 38, of the 60th Precinct, who swiped credit cards from the homes of four dead people last year.

Saillant was accused of responding to 911 calls involving people who died of natural causes and taking their cards and using them at Home Depot hardware stores in New York and New Jersey and to buy gasoline for his car.
Saillant, a divorced father of two, resigned from the NYPD. His criminal case is pending, according to Brooklyn DA Joe Hynes.
The most notorious crime involved the widely reported conviction of police recruit Kabeer Din, 22 who tried to hire a hit man for $3,000 to assassinate his Suffolk, L.I., girlfriend.
But the worst betrayal might involve cops allegedly in the process of extorting sex from a woman.
Two officers came under investigation after a woman arrested in a drug roundup claimed they offered her drugs for sex.
IAB zeroed in on the cops, listening in on a call in which one cop was heard offering marijuana for sexual favors. The cop, his partner and the woman then met in a popular Manhattan eatery, El Malacon on Broadway and 175th Street, where the officers bragged about their coziness with drugs.
The rendezvous became even more untoward when an undercover cop walked in and one cop quickly gave up his identity, "warning her to be careful since he works in the area," according to the report.
The officer who ratted out the undercover resigned the force. The other cop was suspended, but remains a cop.
In The Bronx, a veteran NYPD detective was found guilty of getting a woman who was implicated in an identity-theft case to perform oral sex on him.
Detective Dominic Calvanico initially insisted the woman sign a confession and cooperate, according to the report.
He then told her that if she would "take care of him" - engage in sexual activity - he would "talk to the DA and make the case go away," according to the report.
"Fearful of being arrested and having just started a new job [at a hospital], the victim met the detective in her car, where she performed oral sex on him," the report says.
She spit his sperm into a tissue, which was thrown into the center console. Afterward, she alerted Internal Affairs and the Bronx DA.
IAB later retrieved the detective's investigative case folder, where they found the woman's written confession, but no mention of it in the file.
The detective, who claimed the sex was consensual, was found guilty at his NYPD trial of bribe receiving, coercion, associating with a criminal and filing false statements.
In an extraordinary plea deal worked out among the NYPD, the DA's office and his union, Calvanico - a cop for 19 years and 11 months - agreed to resign and surrender a portion of his pension to avoid criminal charges.

[edit] Allegations of police misconduct and the Civilian Complaint Review Board (CCRB)
Main article: Civilian Complaint Review Board
Over the years, NYPD officers have come under public scrutiny with allegations of corruption, brutality, excessive use of force, and poor firearm discipline. Individual incidents have tended to receive more publicity; a portion of which have been substantiated while others have not. The Knapp Commission in the 1970s, and the Mollen Commission in 1994 have led to reforms within the NYPD aimed to improve police accountability. However in recent years, likely due to low salaries and declining morale, many more off-duty NYPD officers are being arrested and charged in and outside the city for crimes ranging from drunk driving to homicide.[11]

One of the department's most spectacular cases of corruption was that of Lt. Charles Becker, who holds the dubious distinction of being the only NYPD officer ever to die in the electric chair.

Due to repeated public outcry over these and many other incidents, specifically, the Tompkins Square Riot of the 1988, and the Crown Heights Riot, prompted the creation of the Civilian Complaint Review Board (known commonly by its acronym, the CCRB) in 1993, an independent investigative unit comprised of entirely civilian investigators (with some being former Members of Service), who investigate allegations of Force, Discourtesy, Offensive Language and Abuse of Authority made by members of the public against members of the NYPD. Complaints are made directly to the CCRB, through the city's 311 information system, online at nyc.gov/ccrb , or at any Precinct within the city limits. This was the third iteration (after an attempt by Mayor Lindsay and Mayor Koch before to create, "mixed," review boards), but was the first to employ an all civilian Board and investigative staff.[12]

The CCRB exits today as a fully independent civil department, staffed with 142 investigators and about a dozen miscellaneous employees. Additionally, three officers from the NYPD's Internal Affairs Bureau work with the CCRB at their office at 40 Rector Street as, "IAB Liason," officers, including a senior Detective Lieutenant. Their role is to provide the Investigators with access to certain restricted NYPD documentation quickly and efficiently without having to wait the lengthy processing period document requests normally take (sometimes outlasting the course of an investigation).

To Whom This May Concern,
Your coverage of the Sean Bell incident from beginning to end has been absolutely horrible, irresponsible and criminal. Not only have you chosen to selectively cover bits and pieces in the case, but you have also fanned the flames of racial tensions that are undeniably alive in the City, partially created by your irresponsible and sensational reporting.
Sean Bell and his friends were not saints as you make them out to be. They were the scourge of the City. Responsible for countless deaths, violence, and needless addictions against their own people. Their night on the town was not an innocent get together of friends to reminisce on the old times before he made his final commitment to his long time girlfriend. This particular night out was a continuation of his past nights out of fights, drug use, and talk of gunplay. You conveniently forget to mention the past convictions of gun possession, controlled substance sales and the fact that Trent Benefield couldn't even stay out of trouble after this incident, beating his pregnant girlfriend bloody last year.

After reading the story for the umpteenth time, I still don't see
#1. Where he was picking up a prostitute, but I do see where one of the officers was talking to a prostitute, WHILE THE OTHER COPS WERE CHASING A MAN WITH THE PHANTOM GUN, YOU KNOW, THE ONE NEVER FOUND.
#2. If the car is started and a man comes toward you and the windows may have been up. Do you think after having a confrontation only minutes before with someone, you can identify who is coming at you? AS YOU WALK AWAY TO LEAVE. You don't have a gun, this person may be person you were arguing with and he might be getting ready to shoot you, YOU WANT TO GET THE HELL OUT OF THERE.
#3. These were not cops in uniform. They were UNDERCOVER.
#4. For some reason you all think the cops SHOULD HAVE SHOT FIRST, ASK QUESTIONS TO THOSE STILL ALIVE LATER. What do you think Bell should have done when he saw someone coming toward him after an argument? You think he should have stopped the car and took a chance that this was the police or wait to see if it was other person involved in the argument and get shot???? THAT IS WHY HE WAS LEAVING. So in all the confusion of trying to get away from someone he can’t identify, for obvious reasons,(Remember one of the cops is black, and he is coming toward Bell, UNDERCOVER, after Bell has been in a argument with another black man,lol.

He is guilty according to you. Guilty of assault, attempted murder??(that’s a stretch) disorderly conduct??(for the earlier argument, that others were involved in as well)DUI??? & NOT DEATH WARRANT WORTHY) Really, I guess if they couldn’t find a gun, and the man is dead, bogus charges, that you believe a court would have found him guilty of, is reason to kill him. I see. Scary thought process.

I copied that from another poster because this person hit the nail on the head. You are accusing them of things that you think they have done. Your post is full of fairy tales to prove YOUR opinion, that does not make them facts. Because you think it does not make it so. I have posted accounts that are recorded. Should someone kill these cops for their criminal activities. They are held to an even higher standard and have failed miserably. This is only a few things our police depts. are guilty of, but that does not seem to make people foam at the mouth.
