Sean Bell’s Family Still Demanding Justice

November 20th, 2008

Sean Bell’s family is still demanding justice. Two years undercover cops shot to death 23-year-old Sean Bell outside of a Queens, N.Y., nightclub on his wedding day eve, members of his family finally met with federal prosecutors. Bell died when cops fired on the unarmed groom and two friends in a haze of 50 bullets. The officers who fired on the three men were acquitted of criminal charges. “Justice was never served in this case,” family attorney Michael Hardy told Newsday. “We still want justice for Sean.” The family has been pressing the U.S. Justice Department to bring civil rights charges against the officers. Following their meeting with federal prosecutors on Tuesday, the family now believes that it is possible.  In a statement, the Rev. Al Sharpton said he believes today’s meeting is “a sign that the federal government has begun to seriously look into the egregious denial of the civil rights of Sean Bell, Joseph Guzman and Trent Benefield.” Bell’s family felt the same way. Bell’s family. “Sean had a life ahead of him,” fiancée Nicole Paultre Bell told reporters. “This has given us hope.”

To BET Said on

This is a message for BET. This is not regarding this post, because we should never forget this tragic situation. But this network needs to change management. This network takes off good shows and put on bad ones. And when some people put up ggod comments, you all either delete them or don’t post them. What ever happeded to freedom of speech? We got our first black president in offive and BET is still with the BS. So either you all change or we will have people to boycott BET and watch more of TV One.

NOW, AM AN AMERICAN JAILBIRD JAY?. HAHAHAHA!! cant believe that there are black people on the planet who arent?. well, that is what happens when you dont go to school and you cant read or write… that saying must be true then. wow!! they do hide things from black men in america by hiding them in libraries..!!



olounwa Said on

now, jailbird and the dead ancestor who cant name one of them.. if you put all your screeching into protesting against the drug dealers and the senseless black on black violence in your no go neighbourhoods where blacks cant wait to get out of when they get the chance too, i would be impressed.. but as these are only dismissed as “family disagreements..” well, you just answered my question.. good hunting…



olounwa Said on

all of you excusing the senseless hudson family slaughter as a “family matter” are still not addressing the issue. you would not be calling it a family matter if a whiteman had come to the neighbourhood and done those killings and you all know it.. dont lie..

Too Much Said on

The fighting…..the back in forth BS! Is that not what people of other races expect from us. Everyone at some point has disliked a community where there was gang violence or drug dealing, black on black crime or “hate crime”. It happens everyday in the world. Not to make this case less than or more than anyother case. But people we have to band together and stop all the maddness. AND this back in forth is part of the maddness. What the police officers did was wrong and God has justice awaiting them. Now in this time of need we need to lean to God more and have him show us what’s to come. Because not only in the African American community is there ‘hate crimes’ going on now but it’s poppin up more and more now that we have Obama in the white house. So my people let this be a wake-up that we have a hell of a fight on our hands. To all of you all let there be peace and a clear mind on your shoulders because we have to fight for all JUSTICE!!!!! God Bless you all.

Do really believe it is ok for a cop to kill a young man because he didnt obey their orders to stop…Does that give them the right to shoot 50 times?? Injuring 2 and killing 1…Because he didnt stop…Come on get a life…Those police have no hearts, no conscience and were just being lazy…They shouldve chased him for not stopping..Not kill the man…They have a badge and a gun and now they supposed to be some type of hierarchy…They God now…They can determine who can die and live…They can take Sean Bells life because they police…..Horrible! Family you you keep fighting…Sean Bell was and still is an American citizen with rights as one…He didnt even begin a life…And for his poor wife…Keep ya head up and keep fighting…Keep God on ya side…You’ll see him again…
