<P> That night , Buggin ' Out , Radio Raheem , and Smiley march into Sal 's and demand that Sal change the Wall of Fame . Raheem 's boombox is blaring and Sal demands that he turn it off , but he refuses . Buggin ' Out calls Sal and sons `` guineas '' , threatening to close down the pizzeria until they change the Wall of Fame . Sal , in a fit of frustration and after being called a guinea bastard , calls him a `` nigger '' and destroys the boombox with a baseball bat . Raheem attacks Sal , leading to a violent fight that spills out into the street , attracting a crowd . While Radio Raheem is choking Sal , the police arrive . They break up the fight and apprehend Radio Raheem and Buggin ' Out . Despite the pleas of his fellow officers and the onlookers , one officer refuses to release his chokehold on Raheem , killing him . Realizing that Raheem has been killed in front of onlookers , the officers place his body in the back of a squad car and drive off , leaving Sal , Pino , and Vito unprotected . </P>
