Well, Al Sharpton, a lowlife’s lowlife, is at it again. Now he’s threatening to "close down" New York City because the three officers charged in the Sean Bell shooting were acquitted. In other words, they weren’t lynched the way Sharpton would have preferred.
For those of you who don’t know, Sean Bell was a black man who was shot by three police officers (two of whom were also black) outside a Queens strip club on his wedding day after using his car as a deadly weapon. You can read more about the case here.
A big issue in the case has been the fact that the police fired 50 bullets at the car during their defensive action; this, as you might imagine, has been seized upon and used to demonize the cops by Sharpton and his enablers in the media. However, insofar as the people making hay out of this are honest, it’s simply indicative of their ignorance of firearms and of the realities of life and death situations.
When you fire a semi-automatic gun (note that semi-automatic simply means that one bullet is fired every time the trigger is pulled), you can discharge a 30-round magazine in a matter of seconds. (You can believe me on this, as I’ve done enough recreational shooting to know.) This is important to understand because the media would give the impression that the officers were pumping rounds into the vehicle relentlessly. The truth is that, with three cops firing simultaneously, the shooting would have been over in seconds.
Also understand the frame of mind someone is in during what he perceives to be a life-or-death situation. He has someone taking serious violent action against him and has to react, and if he hesitates, it may spell the end for him, his colleagues and/or innocent bystanders. Moreover, real life isn’t a movie; there is no Dirty Harry to shoot a bad guy between the eyes with one shot. In the real world, it’s very hard to shoot a handgun accurately during a high stress situation with a moving and resisting target. Thus, you fire off a volley of shots. Once you determine that deadly force is warranted, you commit to the decision and make sure you stop the attacker.
These are the kinds of facts that even the limp-wristed capons in the mainstream media could figure out if they actually tried to learn about the subject matter they treated and applied reason. As for Sharpton, I don’t think there’s much doubt that he lives for these events. It’s a great way for him to get face time; he trades on such things. If he couldn’t invent injustice, he wouldn’t have a career.
Yet he does incalculable harm to black people, who he claims to represent, and to the wider society. Some of the sheeple following him were shouting "Kill the police!" Does this do any good for the nation? He is only intensifying the climate of distrust of police that exists in the black community — a climate that racial hustlers like him created in the first place, mind you. And he is making black folks even more bitter and angry, thereby increasing the chances that they will commit crimes and be defiant with the police. Thus, his actions also increase the chances that black people will be hurt by the men in blue.
Then, of course, it’s only a matter of time before Sharpton instigates another riot in which people are killed. He did this years ago, although you’d never know it by his behavior, as he exhibits no desire whatsoever to expiate his great sins. He is truly a contemptible individual.
