“The Bell case also differs from Diallo because none of the officers, including a white man, Michael Oliver, is charged with murder.
Oliver released 31 of the 50 shots fired, and Isnora 11 shots. Both are charged with manslaughter and reckless endangerment. Cooper, who got off four shots, faces two lesser charges of reckless endangerment. Two other officers involved in the shooting were cleared.
This disappointed Sharpton, who stated, "It was short of what we want."
Still, no reasonable person would conclude that the officers set out on the night of Nov. 25, 2006, intending to slay anyone, least of all a man just leaving his bachelor party.
But this trial will test the ability of one judge, Arthur Cooperman - who is deciding the case without a jury - to withstand intense pressure.
I don't expect the cops to walk. Not this time.
Let's hope justice prevails in Queens.”
