text: would the reaction be the same if he was white? now i do feel horrible about what happened to sean bell. if you don't know what happened, google it. but would al sharpton and the naacp be rallying against the police if this shooting was by a black cop, or to a white man. i think we just need to wait for the results of an iivestigation before we point fingers. also i think the fact that the cops didn't all empty their clips shows some sign that they were not being too recless, but acting on instinct and training. proven fact - when cops shoot, they reload and don't realize, when being interrogated about a shooting they err about how many shots they fired - adrenaline!  hear the entire news, the guys bumped into an unmarked car... maybe that triggered the massacre. if he was white? who knows, it's not about ifs, it happened to whom it happened, and it sucks even if he was green
