XP from LIF: Tomorrow---big day in Queens.....

**Disclaimer: this is NOT ABOUT whether you agree with what happened or if you side with the police or the victim's family or anything...so please dont' make it about that.**

Tomorrow - the judge will pass down the verdict on the indicted cops in the Sean Bell shooting. The tensions will be running HIGH and who knows what the verdict and reaction will be. Let us all hope and say a prayer that EVERYONE will be safe.....civilians.....cops......whomever.

When racial tensions run high, we all know how things can get out of hand - (remember the Rodney King riots?) and I hope that the verdict comes down without any additional repercussions.....I do have family who work in that very area as police officers....as well as friends who live around there. I'm sure many of you have a loved one who might live or work there too. Lets all send good vibes that this works out without anyone getting hurt.

I know it's DH's job, but I so wish he would stay home tomorrow night!

Prayers for everyone!

Thanks for posting. Prayers for everyone involved - I work in the area.

I just pray for all the cops tomorrow that things, no matter what the verdict is, remain peaceful!!!

Melissa I am sure Peter has to work tomorrow as from what I understand they are not even granting vacation days. I will keep him and all NYPD (my cousin is NYPD) in my prayers!!!

I hate stuff like this.. It spills out beyond queens too. I know everyone in my school is talking about it. The security guard & a few male teachers are rather *heated* over it.

I hope everyone stays safe

im worried about my husband too.. he of course has to work even though he did have off.

I hope everything goes ok today Prayers

as someone who lives in Queens (and also went to public school in queens when the Rodney King riots happened) I DEFINITELY hope regardless of the verdict that things stay calm, for civilians and police officers alike

Why can't we all just get along
