Protests Sean Bell Killing

N.Y. Activists to Protest Sean Bell Killing

And here in New York, activists are planning to stage city-wide civil disobedience today in protest of the recent acquittal of three police officers in the killing of Sean Bell. The twenty-three-year-old Bell died in a hail of fifty police bullets on the morning of what would have been his wedding day in November 2006. He was unarmed. The Reverend Al Sharpton says the protests will be the first in what he hopes will lead to a city-wide shut-down.
