The New York Times is not very pleased that the three Noo Yawk cops got off. I sympathize with the old bag. There’s nothing those pseudo-eggheads at the Times like better than seeing cops go to jail for defending us from the bad guys. The trouble is justice was served. I don’t wish to bore any of you who have read about the case. In brief, three “bad” men with long records of armed violence emerge from a strip club that sells drugs and offers ladies of the night. Two of the three men in a car get into an argument with a pimp over the amount of girls the latter has available. “Get the rod,” says one of the men in the car. The undercover cops reach for theirs and yell “Police.” The driver of the car guns it and hits the cop cars twice. Then the undercover agents empty their 9 mm. One man dies and the two others are wounded but survive. Mayor Bloomberg, who has never put his life on the line for anyone, calls the fifty shots fired excessive. Perhaps, but if one thinks the perps will fire back, one keeps squeezing the trigger. The race hustlers, needless to say, go wild, as does the media, condemning the cops before the trial.
 
Judge Cooperman, however, does not suffer fools gladly, and the prosecutors put only fools and very bad guys on the witness stand. All in all, the cops acted in good faith, and the judge made that one of his main points. Putting hoodlums with long records on the witness box is never a good idea, and in this case, one of the main witnesses who had been in the fateful car and had been himself shot, tried to intimidate the cops and the judge in court. Now the circus begins. What the phony hysterics by many blacks following the trial are all about is that the city of New York will now pay out millions, perhaps as much as 100 million dollars to the victim’s family. As much as 25% of that will go to Al Sharpton, the hustler par excellence. They have pledged to contribute
this percentage to the hustler’s network, which—of course—employs him. Hence 25 million greenbacks richer, Al, the hoodlums pal, will look for the next case. What I would bet the farm on is the following: Had the pimp shot Sean Bell, would Sharpton bothered even to attend his funeral? Of course not. Bloomberg is a bum who always plays it safe, and his pal Al is someone who should have gone to jail long ago for bearing false witness and lying under oath, but race hustling is the safest con around.
