A day after claiming police used "excessive force" in the strip-club car shooting that left an unarmed man dead on his wedding day, Mayor Bloomberg yesterday said he was speaking only as "a civilian" - but then stated he wants the cops tried in Queens.
Responding to criticism from the police unions for labeling the actions of five cops who unleashed 50 rounds "unacceptable," Bloomberg stated, "I said what I believed. I am a civilian. I am not a professional law-enforcement officer."
And although not a single indictment has been handed up in the shooting death of Sean Bell, 23, the mayor - who urged New Yorkers not to rush to judgment - was already talking about where the jury should sit.
