Remember that shooting that took place back in 2006 in front of night club, where a young black man was shot 50 times by police officers on what was supposed to be his wedding day? Three out of the five officers who were responsible for the shootings were acquitted an the other two officers were not charged. Sean Bell's family has now been awarded 3.25 million dollars after a federal lawsuit was filed by his family. 3.25 million dollars as alot of money, and of course we already know that no amount of money can replace a life but lets not forget that this man was shot 50 times, has justice been served? what do you think... The New York Times has an article about the settlement: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/28/nyregion/28bell.html?_r=1&scp=2&sq=sean%20bell&st=cse
