Al Sharpton is on a mission to make a change in light of the Sean Bell verdict. Sharpton brought together a group of protesters in Harlem Saturday and promised to “close this city down” following the acquittals of three police detectives who shot and killed Sean Bell who was to get married the following day. “We strategically know how to stop the city so people stand still and realize that you do not have the right to shoot down unarmed, innocent civilians,” Sharpton told the crowd at his National Action Network office. “This city is going to deal with the blood of Sean Bell.” Reports say that the Sharpton rally at his office was followed by a 20 Block march down Malcolm X Blvd. across 125th Street…Some even said “Kill the police!”, while we all know that isn’t a positive solution. Others carried big black numbers for each of the 50 bullets police fired at Bell and his friends. One of Bell’s friends who was wounded in the incident also participated in the rally. “They never accused Sean Bell of doing anything. Then why is he dead?” Sharpton asked, his voice roaring with anger. Authorities “have shown that they will not hold police accountable. Well, guess what? If you won’t, we will!” “Shut it down! Shut it down!” the crowd chanted, standing up and applauding wildly. Bell’s parents, his sister and fiance were all there while Sharpton delivered his speech. “The justice system let me down,” Paultre Bell told the crowd in a soft voice. “April 25, 2008: They killed Sean all over again. That’s what it felt like to us.”
