NEW YORK City police pumped 50 bullets into a car carrying three unarmed African American men in the early morning hours of November 25, killing one man on his wedding day.
The hail of bullets killed 23-year-old Sean Bell, a father of two children aged three years and five months, who was to be married later in the day. Two friends, Joseph Guzman and Trent Benefield were seriously wounded. All five NYPD officers on the scene fired at the car. One emptied two full magazines from his 9mm Glock, firing a total of 31 times.

On 14 April 2006, Dominique Kouamadio, a 23 year-old Congolese, was shot dead by a policeman in Dortmund. The owner of a kiosk had called the police because Dominique was standing in front of his kiosk window with a knife. At the time three police officers arrived by car, the situation was according to their own statements not threatening. Until today, it has not been clarified why the situation escalated: a policeman killed Dominique by two shots, fired directly after each other into his leg and into his heart. The public prosecutor's office in Dortmund opened an investigation against the police officer who fired the mortal shots, but dismissed the case because of supposed self-defence. Self-defence? Despite the fact that all eye witnesses give evidence of a distance of several meters between Dominique and the policeman who shot

Prozess gegen Sunny Pius Ebilueye
Dienstag, 10.Oktober, ab 13 Uhr
Amtsgericht München, Nymphenburgerstr. 16 (U1 Stiegelmaierplatz)

Das Verfahren um die Misshandlung des KARAWANE-Aktivisten Sunny P. Ebilueye durch zwei Burgauer-Polizisten geht weiter. Doch während die Polizisten selbst nichts mehr zu befürchten haben, ist der Menschenrechtsaktivist wegen „Widerstand gegen die Staatsanwaltschaft“ angeklagt. Verliert er den Prozess muss er wahrscheinlich für 50 Tage ins Gefängnis – und alles wegen einer angeblich „unleserlichen Unterschrift“ auf einem gültigen Fahrschein. Die Flüchtlingsgruppe KARAWANE ruft zu Protesten auf.
