So, I think that we saw today what some of us expected. What they will get is not what they expected. They expect us to react in traditional ways. They will not get that We are going to react. . . (applause) We are going to react in a methodical and serious way. Tomorrow we will start taking names of people that we are going to engage in economic withdrawals; we are going to engage in nonviolent civil disobedience. Even the people who are signed up tomorrow will not know where they're going. But I want to sign up people that are willing to peacefully, if necessary, to dramatize this; to go to jail, whether this is on Wall Street, the judge's house, or in one police plaza, we are coming back to demonstrate to the federal government that New Yorkers will not take this abortion of justice laying down. |
NEW YORK - The fiancée of an unarmed man killed by police on his wedding day says "the justice system let me down" after the detectives were acquitted of all charges in his killing. "April 25, 2008: They killed Sean all over again," Nicole Paultre Bell said Saturday to hundreds of people gathered at Rev. Al Sharpton's National Action Network offices. "That's what it felt like to us."
Paultre Bell said she was let down by the Queens judge's ruling Friday clearing the detectives in the shooting death of 23-year-old Sean Bell and wounding of his two friends.
"I'm still praying for justice," she says, "because it's not over."
