Wait, you're responding to one _Ruben Safir_, and advising said Ruben
Safir that he doesn't know shit about this case?
OK, I agree with you. This Ruben Safir person doesn't know shit about
the Amadou Diallo case.

Um, reaching for your wallet and holding it in your hand is not 'playing
cat and mouse with the cops'. And an unrelated neutral witness, Schrrie
Elliott, testified that the four NYPD officers in street clothes opened
fire without identifying themselves _or_ giving any warning at all.
Diallo was completely unarmed. One notes that shooting unarmed
civilians was already something of a habit for one of the officers,
Kenneth Boss, who had done this once before in 1997.
The city settled the resulting wrongful death lawsuit for a record
$3,000,000.
You know, wrongful death from negligence just happens to be one of my
hot buttons, Ruben. Care to guess why?

He was a completely innocent victim, and _you_, sir, should be ashamed
of yourself.
