Police brutality is still ramp
With the acquittal of three New York police officers on trial for the slaying of Sean Bell on his wedding day in November 2006, the U.S. continues to be a nation where police are consistently acquitted for crimes of brutality and abuse.
Police aren't just brutalizing - they are killing and getting away with it. Bell was shot at least 50 times by a combination of five officers. One officer let off 31 shots on his own. Bell was unarmed - so how does an unarmed man get shot 50 times and killed?
According to police, the plain-clothed officers had tried to identify themselves befo... Read more

Gujarat tells apex court polic
New Delhi: In a shocking admission, the Gujarat government yesterday told the Supreme Court that the police had murdered the wife of an innocent Muslim man who was shot dead in cold blood after being branded a terrorist.
The hair-raising facts of the case were sealed in an envelope and submitted to the court's registry, Gujarat government counsel K.T.S. Tulsi told Chief Justice Tarun Chatterjee.
Tulsi later submitted to reporters outside the chamber that Kausar Bi, wife of Ahmedabad's staged shootout victim Sohrabuddin Shaikh, was killed within days of her husband's murder in November 2005.
The police committed both killings. Three senior police officers - Inspector General D.G. Vanzara and Superintendent of Police Rajkumar Pandyan of Gujarat and Alwar Superintendent of Police M.N. Dinesh of Rajasthan - have been arrested for the killing of Sohrabuddin and the disappearance of Kausar Bi.
"Investigations have revealed that she was burnt to death in Banjara village near Ahmedabad," Tulsi added.
Missing
The admission came after the apex court stated that it would pass its order today on a habeas corpus petition filed by Shaikh's brother Rubabuddin Shaikh seeking a direction to the Gujarat government to produce Kausar Bi, who went missing since her husband's killing on November 26, 2005.
Tulsi said the arrested officers Vanzara, Pandyan and Dinesh had admitted to the twin murders during their interrogation.
Justice Chatterjee said the court would also examine the central government's plea for a probe by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) into the staged shootout.
Pandyan and Dinesh allegedly killed Sohrabuddin November 26, 2005 in a so-called "encounter" on the outskirts of Ahmedabad.
Shaikh was travelling from Hyderabad to Sangli in Maharashtra with his wife Kausar Bi when they were picked up along with an unidentified man from a bus. Soon after the abduction, Vanzara had announced Shaikh's killing in a police shootout, dubbing him a Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorist who was on a mission to assassinate Chief Minister Narendra Modi.
