        <![CDATA[ To Whom This May Concern,

Your coverage of the Sean Bell incident from beginning to end has been absolutely horrible, irresponsible and criminal. Not only have you chosen to
selectively cover bits and pieces in the case, but you have also fanned the flames of racial tensions that are undeniably alive in the City, partially created
by your irresponsible and sensational reporting.

Sean Bell and his friends were not saints as you make them out to be. They were the scourge of the City.... ]]>

			<description><![CDATA[ Second Gen, Excellent Post!
<br>
<br>
After watching the news the last few days (both the protests and recent shootings) I was wondering why in gods name would they not use that energy to fight
Black on Black crime, instead of protesting the actions of a few police officers (being devils advocate).
<br>
<br>
If fat Al can muster a protest against the Bell shooting, why wont he just protest the recent shootings of Black people by Black people???
<br>
<br>
Or is it not his yob to insist Black... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Great post Sengenblue, but let&#39;s be honest. The same media and political leaders you are trying to reach see it fit to pay NYPD cops security guard wages,
hire garbage and refuse to believe that crime is going up. My advice to anyone thinking of taking this job...don&#39;t. And if you are on this job
now....retire, leave for another department or mabey just put in for 3/4 because this job has made you crazy. After everything is said and done, answer me
this...who sent those six cops into... ]]></description>

one of Guzman&#39;s robbery victims and let him or her tell the story of the great law abiding Joe Guzman, who is now seeking justice for Sean Bell.  Where is
the justice for his victims??  If the unions have to pay the victims to speak out, so be it.  If Al Sharpton can do it, so can we.  By the way, in a city of
