Community Response to Sean Bell Verdict Continues

NYC IMC | Calls for justice continue to sound in response to Judge Cooperman's acquittal of 3 of the 5 NYPD officers involved in the murder of Sean Bell, announced April 25, 2008.

Pray-In Blockades on May 7: In response to calls from the family of Sean Bell, Rev. Al Sharpton, and other religious and community leaders, thousands of New Yorkers converged on a half-dozen selected intersections Wednesday afternoon for a series of dramatic pray-in traffic blockades. Dozens were arrested including Nicole Paultre-Bell, Joseph Guzman, Trent Benefield, and members of NAACP and SEIU. From the Newswire: Brooklyn Bridge Action | Hudson & Canal Action | Protest Info

Initial Response: On the evening of the verdict's announcement, about 800 people gathered in Queens to voice their outrage. Chanting “50 shots equals murder!” and "We are all Sean Bell!" they marched from the District Attorney’s office to the heart of Jamaica, where the shooting took place.
