This doesn't appear to be one of those circumstances though. No weapon found on the victims, unmarked cars, and plain clothes officers. The victims thought they were being attacked. And it appears they were.

So, if you ask me, it doesn't matter if the NYPD fired 50 shots or just a single shot....just as long as the rest of the public was not put in danger by these actions.

The wanton violence in this incident was enhanced by the race of the victims, but I agree the court proceeding was not about race, and race should never be a factor in a court case. And you think "the rest of the public" wasn't put in danger by 50 rounds fired off? That was just luck.
