		Prosecution forensic pathologist Dr. Joseph Cohen performed the autopsy on Amadou Diallo and concluded that three of his 19 gunshot wounds suggest the officers continued to shoot him when he was already down or on the way down.
		Diallo, the doctor said, would have been paralyzed from the waist down and falling at some point during the stream of 41 bullets.
		As Diallo's body turned, Mason told jurors, he was hit by the bullet that pierced his aorta and damaged his spine and spinal cord.

	CNN.com - Assessing the $3 million settlement in the Amadou Diallo case - Jan. 14, 2004
		In 1999, Amadou Diallo -- a fl man from West Africa -- was killed by four police officers in the vestibule of his building.
		Diallo was unarmed, but the officers claimed that they had mistaken the wallet he held in his hand for a gun.
		Thus, the only hope Gair had of securing punitive damages in the Diallo case was if he could show that the cops were not just negligent but reckless—that is, that their unreasonable conduct was almost, or virtually, intentional.

		The Diallo murder and the acquittal of the four officers who shot more than 40 times at Brother Diallo, massacring him with 19 bullets, demonstrates to the world community that Black life, poor life, and the innocent are worthless and expendable in U.S. society.
		The Diallo murder must be placed in the context of the wider struggle in the United States against all forms of racist acts of violence and police state terror.
		In Los Angeles, as the Diallo Case was being tried, more than 70 current and former police officers have been placed under investigation for corruption in which it has been exposed that a conspiracy exists within the LAPD for planting evidence, shooting unarmed and innocent people, wrongful convictions, drug trafficking, and police cover-ups.

		In our examination of the Amadou Diallo case, we will question the usefulness and relevance of Foucault's study of "juridico-political structures" (the regulation of bodies, the distribution of power, and the function of judicial systems) for analyzing the conflicting interpretations of the case.
		We will focus on the issues that emerged from the fatal shooting of Amadou Diallo on Feb. 4, 1999 to the verdict of the jury in the trial of the four white policemen charged with second-degree murder and reckless endangerment.
		Diallo, 22, was an immigrant from Guinea (West Africa) and worked as a street peddler.

		Was Amadou Diallo's killing a reflection not of racism among street cops but the recklessness of senior commanders who sent young cops, newly minted by their elite unit, into a strange neighborhood to search, late at night, for a man known to them only by description?
		The four officers who shot Amadou Diallo were mostly young--two aged 27, one 28, and one 36--and new both to the unit and to one another.
		Amadou Diallo was an average guy, making his way in the big city, living in a neighborhood that was getting safer but wasn't yet safe.

	NYPD: Murder Inc. - Justice for Amadou Diallo!
		Diallo’s murder was a textbook example of the racist reality of the supposed “war on crime.” As the trial unfolded it became painfully clear that the Bronx DA’s office was not prepared to criticize the functioning of the New York City police department in general or the elite street crimes unit in particular.
		For the hundreds of thousands of people in Diallo’s neighborhood and other ghettos and barrios across the U.S., who carefully followed the case on Court TV and other broadcast specials, what was on trial was the system itself.
		In the immediate aftermath of Diallo’s shooting, mass anger was palpable, and the protests were so large that some New York union leaders were forced to publicly denounce police brutality, and even participate in the march across the Brooklyn Bridge.

	How the cops murdered Amadou
		Amadou Diallo, a West African immigrant, was riddled by bullets shot by four white policemen who had cornered him in a hallway that measured only seven feet by five feet wide.
		Although Amadou’s death would spark massive public protests, police brutality would continue to exterminate the lives of young men of African descent while those not killed in the streets would be sent to Iraq to be mutilated or blown to pieces.
		Additionally displayed are the collages of Katrina Jeffries that trace Amadou’s life journey from West Africa to the United States, superimposed by a settee of 41 cowie shells.

		As the two closest officers were approaching him, they saw Diallo reaching to his right side, tugging in a movement that resembled to Carroll (on the right) a man pulling a gun from his coat pocket, and to McMellon (on the left), a man going for something at his hip.
		McMellon cried, "What are you doing?" Both officers went for their own guns as the man whirled in their direction, the fl object in his hand looking for all the world like the slide of a small blue steel automatic as it came up toward them, and almost simultaneously, they opened fire.
		Diallo was a fl man, a native of Guinea.

		Kadiatou Diallo, in her quiet dignity, shows every sign of being different—a player almost preternaturally prepared to handle the insanity, a woman who, having been used for a few months by the media and politicians, seems to have learned enough now to use them right back.
		Amadou, the first of their four children, was born two years later, when she was 16.
		The court's decision, he began, was "immoral and an insult to the people of the Bronx." He drew the inevitable, disquieting parallels to the trial of the policemen in the Rodney King case, which was moved from Los Angeles to suburban Simi Valley; the verdicts in the case sparked the Los Angeles riots of 1992.

	Salon News \| Diallo is a martyr, but the cops aren't murderers
		Diallo died in a hard rain of 41 bullets fired by four police officers while the NYPD was still suffering the shock and disdain provoked by Officer Justin Volpe's sodomizing Abner Louima with a wooden stick in a Brooklyn precinct house.
		They unanimously said that it was what is called "a bad shooting," driven by surprise and panic, of the sort that attends work in areas where there are many illegal automatic weapons, on the same streets where cops have died in action.
		In one class, for instance, a fl female cop asked her students how they would handle a situation in which a woman, outraged that her child was being arrested, stepped into the middle of things.

	Thinking About Amadou Diallo
		We also know that the police thought Diallo resembled a rapist that they were looking for in the neighborhood--i.e., the rapist, like Diallo, was fl.
		It's conceivable--though this is just speculation on my part--that Diallo, ashamed of his speech, didn't want to stutter in front of the police and so went for his wallet to provide them with printed identification.
		The police would not assume, as they did with Diallo, that a disfluent white person--or any white person--would be pulling a gun from his pocket.
