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.”

Unless BET has some exclusion for Mary Neal, I expect to post. If you have an exclusion, GET READY TO SHOW IT BECAUSE I AM THROUGH DEALING WITH CENSORSHIP FROM YOU MEDIA. I AM A PART OF THE PUBLIC, AND YOU INVITE PUBLIC COMMENTS.

Dear Bell Family, You do not suffer alone. Many of us have your same hard burden. Chaney and Gonzales were indicted on prison profiteering charges yesterday. Gonzales was the head of the unrighteous USDOJ, and I don’t think the agency is any better now. The article said you want an investigation. I hope you get it. One day soon, hopefully change will come to that agency. See my article on Chaney/Gonzales at NowPublic.com – browse for my name in its search field. Many blessings are coming your way, and you WILL see Sean again some day, in Jesus’ name.

It is great the family is still pushing on this issue. Even though us black folk have come a long way, things are still seperate and we have a long way to go. If we pursue issues in a correct way, laws HAVE to change, keep fighting family, justice will be served, belive that. Everyone else, if you see this grieving woman fight in an honorable way, fight your cause the same way, all fights add up to big change!

I agree with olounwa.Just because it was not the same thing doesnt mean its right.I would hope that the type of epidemic of blacks killing blacks isnt something you just want to live with because it happens so often. Both issues need to be addressed.If you keep turning a blind eye ur giving that type of behavior a breeding ground to keep existing.Its time to speak on unjustice no matter who is doing it.There was a need to protest.If you protest and show criminals,no matter what color, that it wont be tolerated maybe they will tink twice about doing it.Stop justifying when our own race does something thats not right.Stand up against crime.Both families wanted privacy but everyone decided to get involved with Sean Bell’s case because “the man” was involved.Speak out against ignorance.We’ve come too far as a people to allow anyone,black,white, red,green or purple, to set us back.God bless everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!



leon Said on

Are there not better causes out there to rally behind? Bell got drunk, got behind the wheel of a car, and disobeyed police orders to stop.

The greatest threat to the black community is other blacks, not the police. If you don’t see this, you are in denial.



GB Said on

DAMN!!!!!!! This is still going on?!?!?!?!?!?! This should have been over and done with now.

*#*? DA POLICE THEY KILLED SHAWN BELL!



Change Said on

I feel like we need to come together as a people. Black people always want someone to go to jail when their love one is killed but we are in the streets killing each other every day and then we won’t say anything. Or if we do, we are called “SNITCHES”. I want justice for Sean Bell and I want justice for all the other Black men and women who have been through the same thing but not with officers with people of our own race. I really feel sorry for her in her kids but how do this story get more recoginition than the next Black man. As I stated stuff like this is happening everyday except we are the ones that are killing each other off I want justice for EVERYONE not just SEAN BELL. It is really time for a change. How many more people have lost a father, a mother, a son, a daughter, a brother, a sister, a uncle and a aunt etc. This is Worldwide problem not just NEW YORK. It is enough of us that we can all come together and we can WIN all of us.

stella Said on

my prayers go out to the bell family.please keep your head up,and don’t give up until justice is served.make them feel pain.



Bro Jay Said on

Thank GOD for people like the rev Al sharpton who’s antics are helping to
keep this case alive and well their will be JUSTICES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Olounwa (aka) Sha- nea-nea from englewood if you claim you don’t live in
america ,how would you know what’s going on in my hometown chicago.
What do one story has to do with another, your babeling is completly
foolish, but as we all know ,that’s expected of you. Let me try to help
your small mind to understand. Sean Bell was shot by law inforcement ,
law inforcement is paid to uphale the law not break it totally different
scenario then in the Jenifer Hudson case, that was a family issue that
went horribly wrong, so you can’t even compare the two cases.
Remember you are an american and you live in america even if you want to be some else “sorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry” ………………………….



What_it_took Said on

I have a prayer for you and your family, I know it will help you just like its helping my family and I. “Father I want to be more fruitful in Your Kingdom. I trust You to direct me and cleanse me from anything that pollutes my life or distracts me from Your purpose” In JESUS’ name Amen!

GOD sees and hears everything thats going on in this place we call home “This World”. Nobody knows what really happened that night but GOD and those who was involved. Punishment is sometimes not giving out the way it should be, I fell for your family and you through this rough time. Remeber don’t keep greeving about this situation, he is in better place away from this madness. Always know that if there is nobodyelse there for you, GOD is always there! GOD bless yall!
