Edit on the failure to explain[edit]

I edited the comment concerning the failure of acoli and shakur to explain how foerster was shot. It originally read: "Many claim that he is innocent but fail to explain how officer Foerster, who left behind a wife and daughter, was shot twice in the head with his own service weapon." I edited out "who left behind a wife and daughter" becuase this only seeks to provide an unbalanced and not at all journalistic sympathy to Officer Foerster. Please state this fact in a different area of the article where it doesn't stand to cliud our reasoning regarding his murder. -anarcho_hipster

Biased article[edit]

This is a biased article, sounds like it was written by a white member of the NJ State police, an example of a biased statement... "Some question why Shakur, who has been living on an exotic island in the Caribbean since the early 1980's, hasn't once tried to broker a deal exchanging her surrender for Acoli's release."

exotic island?? turning oneself in to a government that one has no faith in, not very logical, and very P

Weaselish[edit]

The line about the failure to explain the police officer's murder is very weaselish, it brings a feeling of illegitimacy to Acoli, and Shakur's actions, almost painting them as guilty, though the circumstances suggest otherwise. There's really no need for it, because it really does sound almost weasel word perfect. 67.182.101.74, 17 August 2006 (UTC)Logan

Jesus Christmas[edit]

What the hell is going on today? apparently people aren't interested in knowledge anymore on wikipedia.--Milowent (talk) 21:11, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I added a source, if you go to history of the article, there is a huge amount of material that can be used for reinsertion with the addition of sources.--Milowent (talk) 21:26, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I added back much of the information in an unbiased way. Looking for sources. Zeddocument (talk) 14:46, 9 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Absurd terrorist nonsense?[edit]

What is this absurd Black Panther terrorist nonsense?

"Ambushed on the turnpike" by the NJ State cops?

"New Afrikan political prisoner"?

This scumbag is a terrorist and murderer. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.28.169.232 (talk) 03:30, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
