No justice for Sean Bell

The police officers that were involved in the murder of Sean Bell have once again avoided prosecution. The U.S. Attorney General says that the case will not move forward due to insufficient evidence.

"Under the applicable federal criminal civil rights laws, prosecutors must establish, beyond a reasonable doubt, that a law enforcement officer willfully deprived an individual of a constitutional right, meaning with the deliberate and specific intent to do something the law forbids. This is the highest standard of intent imposed by law and is different and higher than the intent standard under the relevant state statutes," the Justice Department said.

5 undercover police officers fired 50 shots at Bell and his two friends outside a Jamaica strip club in November 2006, on what was to be Bell's wedding day. Police claimed that one man was armed, but a weapon was never recovered.

The family has filed a wrongful death suit against the NYPD.

BVM Music Choice: Anthony Flammia ( @AnthonyFlammia) - The Looper

As a blogger I love finding new talent (well knew talent to me) and I can say I have listening to Anthony Flammia.. Surfing social media and I happen to stumbld upon this video on my dash

Those raw vocals made me do a quick search and that is how I found his "The Looper" project. What is the looper you ask??

The Looper was created in its entirety tonight, May 1, live at Premiere Studios in New York. With the help of his RC-505 Roland Loopstation, Anthony created every song onstage through a process of looping himself beatboxing and stacking blended harmonies with sound effects, together making up the instrumentals over which he sung, audience participation very much included. All songs are original and were written, produced, arranged and performed by Flammia himself.
Check it out here and enjoy the dope harmonies
