Yes many officers risk their lives on duty, but Sean Bell paid with his life. Articles like this is why the police are never held accountable for situations like this. Of course there are great officers but with the good come the bad and these bad officers should be punished to the greatest extent. Also what what do the protesters and their past involvements have to do with this senseless murder? The so called credibility of these officials means squat when innocent people continue to die at the hands of bad officers.
