no justice no peace ………first

Wow…..my heart truly goes out to her and her family…I wish them the best of luck because crimes like that are just becoming all to common.

@ Doc

Your comment says it best, “No Justice No Peace!” A Damn Shame

I didn’t even now they was a march. 216 people damn….charged for what? Didn’t they have a permit?

Well, I’m glad people came out and showed their support.

Now, I wonder how this Philly case is going to go?!

That’s right, don’t back down. Keep the movement going til JUSTICE is SERVE.

Wait…they made sure they got the 2 other shooting survivors…WOW!

Wow! May the lord shine a blessing on everyone who was there and stood up against the NYPD. It was very courageous. The black and Latino’s need to come together and change the community. Like David banner said ” If you bang, bang on da police not your own ppl” Crips, bloods, vice lords who ever lets change the community and ppl please get “Tested” HIV has no color no name you’ll be surprised how many in our own communities walk with it and don’t know.

JESSIE, What does “black centric” mean? I am puzzled. Thanks!

@jessie

Tt won’t solve it, true. But it will let them know we won’t stand for it and as a people, how do we look backing down to anyone or anything that was an injustice such as this?

I’m glad they are fighting for Sean Bell. Understand that when black people come out in numbers we are very powerful, which is why they always try to keep us scared with the system. It was non-violent and they had a permit so they will have to release them. They arrested them because they were getting mad that they made a statement. Props go out to his wife for still fighting for the man she loved. That a true woman right there

*It

It’s funny how people are so quick to tell Rev. Sharpton to sit down, but let a high profile case happen to someone black the first name you calling is Rev. Al. Despite some issues that I have with Rev. he is for the people, he will march, preach, and speak out about injustice. Why should he sit down? The verdict in this case was sick! If that was you’re son that was murdered wouldn’t you STAND UP for the cause! Wouldn’t you want people to FIGHT for your child? your husband? YOUR PEOPLE!!!!! Haters…Hide behind a screen name, sit in your chair and complain all day. What are you doing?

they(media) tried to scare people talking about if you have an outstanding warrant/speeding tickets you will be arrested..um people with warrants usually keep their distance from the cops anyways..

i’m glad Nicole is still fighting..i can see the hurt in her face in every picture & it breaks my heart..

“Crips, bloods, vice lords who ever lets change the community”

AAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Hey, Satan? You want to pay my rent? Yo, Hitler! How about kicking in on my light bill?

you have to have a permit to protest in the NYC.

@ samech

They were arested for civil disobedience.

I kinda like Al I have seen him go toe to toe with Bill O’Racist and handle his own.

She is so beautiful. Her blog and photos were found at dating site —”W e a l t h y l o v I n g .c o m ” —- last week. I am wondering what kind of relationship she is seeking on that site.

Sad.

They couldn’t give Ole Boy his shoe back first? Daxn. Well I cannot front I see Sharpton made good on his word, so I take back SOME of my ill tempered comments toward him. I am glad my hometown got out there and ripped it. Let them know what we won’t tolerate anymore! Thank you Jesus! And yes get Kelly out of there! He has needed to go for quite some time now!

Big ups to Rev. Al Sharpton who’s not affraid to take a stand on this issue. Where are the other black leaders in the situation. Good to see Ms. Bell continuing to fight on!

NO JUSTICE NO PEACE~

Im very pissed 2 read this. How dare u arrest them ppl. 4 what?? They arrested them bcuz of the reason of the march. The police f*cked up bad and they want all dis bad press off them. Of course they are goin 2 stick 2gether. The police are thick as true thieves, and I agree sumbody shud change da community and just because u wearing a uniform with a gun don’t excuse u 4rm murder. Ur not above the law just because u are the law. U should have the same standards as civilians, and there is no way these police officers discretion led to this. They just got trigger happy and thought they were LAPD

@Lady Architect and Star…

My sentiments exactly!!!

Wow.Classic photo with Al Sharpton and Nicole Bell.

ok, i know a lot of people have their opinion of AL and JESSE, but truth be told…THEY DO BRING THE MEDIA…when you are fighting for injustice, you want to have it covered right? Ms. Bell and her family could have went out there alone and did the same thing and it would not have gotten the sam media coverage. People bring AL and JESSE around because with them come the cameras.

It was much the same way with MLK back in the day. There were protests going on during the civil rights movements all over the country. You only hear about the ones that MLK showed up to because he brought the media attention. That is AL and JESSE’s role…whether they are sincere with their motives or not.

To Jessie, where do you live in a whole? There is major racism going on everyday. Do you not watch the news? Are you keeping up with the primaries, the 16 black people exonerated by DNA in Texas, the latest Philadelphia beating? Are you trying to be funny cause it is not. I echo your sentiments Star. Someone needs to be Black-Centric and since when is it Black-Centric to fight for what’s right.

Thank you Al and Jesse. Some people really need to get educated about what’s going on around them and understand that these injustices affect all of us.

@I’m just me, Kompton, Lady A…Morning ladies

This is truly heartbreaking! Kudos to Nicole Bell for being so strong!

glad she is still fighting and i know it is hard to do .. i pray for the family of sean bell

Okay Jessie I had to calm down and get back to u…

R U F*CK!NG SERIOUS???? Tela u on point cuz Jessie is tripping. Obviously Jessie is okay being lost in space instead of wanting a transition. Kanye said it best “Racism still alive, they just be concealing it” and it’s not even so concealed anymore, ppl are getting bolder with this mess, and lets not see history repeat itself bcuz u fail to realize a problem when its there in ur face staring u down. 2 anybody who could say something so stupid, I feel very sorry 4 u and I hope u are not what the future holds bcuz we wud (for lack of better wordz) be in some deep sh*t

Why is she calling her self ” Ms. Bell”? they never got married?

I luv da look on Al’s face….(thinking n his head…U betta watch how u handle me)….LOL

poor nicole

i really want to move to canada how dare they touch her

@ Southern, Ms Meca, Bree

Good Morning!

I was there and i am not the protester type. i am very quiet and shy but i felt compelled to be there. As someone said above the pain i see in Nicoles face made me get up and go. There were people from every nationality there and it was very powerful. I am glad i supported The Bell Family. This has to stop, at some point you have to get out of your shell and be heard. It may not solve anything but it is showing the world that we care and we wont stand for this type of treatment anymore.

@ Southern Belle

Good Morning!

they are hardly criminals.

im going to NYC to join in the protest. riciculousness

omni101

Why is she calling her self ” Ms. Bell”? they never got married?

A judge granted her rights to take his last name after he died. she is officially Mrs. Bell and it shouldnt even be questioned. She lost her husband violently at the hands of the NYPD. Let her be Mrs. Bell whether it was legally granted or not. SMH

Who cares. I saw him at “W e a l t h yR o m a n c e.c o m” last week. Is he single now?

Regardless of whatever secret motivations people have assumed of the Rev. Al, I love him, always have possibly always will. The ONLY thing that troubles me with him is his decision making process. He proposed a shutdown AFTER the jena 6 and sean bell incidents – we had the Diallo case and hordes of others that meritted such a protest because of their true inocence, these two incidents, in my view, didn’t. jena 6 boys BEAT UP SOMEONE FIRST – sean bell and his crew were known drug dealers that got thugged out that night – why protest after these gansta thugs? it sends out a bad message – anyway, someone needed to protest and show new york that YOU CAN BE INCONVENIENCED AND BLACKS and other mind right people have the will and power to do it – kudos for that but he really needs to be a better judge of character – after the mass jena6 protest, those punks were showing off the donated cash and guns on youtube!! smh

I pray that God continues to give Nicole Bell the strength to fight this injustice. I respect her courage along with the rest of Sean Bell’s family.

@ omni101 – Why is she calling her self ” Ms. Bell”? they never got married?

—

also, remember that they took out a marriage application and certificate BEFORE and it is effective right there and then – they just had to wait 24hours from that time for a ceremony .. so legally, THEY WERE MARRIED WHEN THEY SIGNED AT THE COURTHOUSE and the judges granted baised on that

All these rappers and chicken heads screamin but Nicole Bell is a real Ride or Die chick. THIS is what u call holdin your man down! Even in death… Iam so proud of her and all the protesters, I gotta go before i fall apart. These pix are beautiful

The reason they were arrested was the fact that alot of protester stopped the flow of traffic by the brooklyn bridge and other spots because some knelt down and prayed and the cops came too them saying get up or you will be arrested. They didnt move so they were arrested. However we all knew the protesters wanted too be arrested ,that was apart of the process. I commend them for standing strong because we need this today ,tomorrow and for our future. Some of these police officer take the law into their hands time and time again and I am so tired of this. I have three brothers and many male relatives god forbid something like this happen too them I would want Reverand AL or Jesse There. I am not always for Reverand Al’s action but who else can shine the light on this epidemic not you or I alone we need a notable face the media recognize inorder for our voice too be heard. YES NEW YORK NO JUSTICE NO PEACE R.I.P SEAN BELL WE ARE STANDING STRONG FOR YOUR FAMILY. NICOLE PAULT BELL I COMMEND YOU STAND STRONG BLACK SISTER WE ARE HERE FOR YOU

omni101 after he passed they allowed nicole too have her late husband’s sean bells last name

@Ms. Felicia Sabree I totally agree with you. I really don’t understand why they arrested people for peacefully protesting. First they take an innocent life and then when people respond they arrest the. NO JUSTICE NO PEACE…..

Right on Mrs. Sean Bell!

First they rob you of your husband and then arrest you for peacefully standing up for your family. You are so strong and courageous. My heartfelt prayers are with you and family.

God Bless and Keep keeping on!

That looks like a scene from Eyes on the Prize or something. Thats wild knowing that 50+ yrs since the Civil Rights Movement started in full swing, we are still at this point. Medgar Evers, MLK, Malcolm X, The Black Panthers and thousands of others have been murdered or had their lives detroyed for speaking out about injustices that are still going on. Now the KKK has been replaced with the police. Modern day racism and bigotry is the most dangerous, threatening kind of discrimination that we will ever witness because its concealed and subtle. They’re some Blacks that seem to think that racism isnt like it used to be and when you start to think that, thats when it becomes dangerous.

My heart goes out to Sean Bell’s fiancee’… Omg! This story is sooo sad!

i really feel for the Bell family

i cant say i know what they are going through

but i wish em the best.

on a different note, i dont like Al Sharpton, i think he preaches racism, he call racism on everything that happen bad to a black person, he is a one track minded person, i dont think he is good for the black community he never get anything accomplish. I think he just sit up there in harlem and wait for something to happen to a black person, so that he could get the attention he desperately seek from the media.

That’s what I’m talking about, it’s really really nice to see people standing together for a common cause.

NY police officers are evil

fact

i was down ther at the triborough bridge protest because i just felt it was the right thing to do.however,i honestly feel it is time to have open season on police.they have to feel just as scared as any black person on the street.this can happen to anyone black.i mean come on,4 weeks ago, a white man blows up a police car in queens and he’s given a bed in a hospital-wtf?

@sandra, i did notice they aint protesting when my haitian man and my african brothahs got beat and shot down, whatever, hopefully, this isn’t some reversal black american thing, also there was enough whites, hispanics and asians out there, good look, no one can say some of those other people don’t ride for us cause they do more than a lot of blacks. whatever, the nypd got theirs coming

This was such a beautiful thing to see. I work near where they were protesting and I saw Blacks, Whites, Hispanics, Asians and all kids of ethnic races standing up for HUMAN RIGHTS… Very positive!

SMH @ the police

*Kinds* Typo

yall do realize that a BLACK officer is the one that killed this man. it wasn’t a racial crime. 50 bullets is one to many but yall act like a white cop shot him.

do u think that if this had happen to “lets say a group of white kids >>( which is unlikely) do you think that Al sharpton would be protesting, i think not, he only protest when something happen to a black american ….such looser

FYI Al Sharpton does not stand up for HUMAN RIGHTS …only black people rights ….and poor black folks too… i dont appreciate nothing that he does…i am black and i ignore racism ..he doesnt even bother me one bit …..

@ Tyson

Racial injustice comes from our people as well as others. You do realize that there are many black people conditioned to think racially against their brothers and sisters? And although blacks perpetrated the killing, the racial injustice was perpetuated by the racial injustice of the legal system by finding them not guilty of murder.

@Tyrone

Two of the cops were black… The officer that landed the fatal shot was Detective Oliver who unloaded, reloaded and then unloaded again. Also, this is about police brutality and racial profiling.

so how could it be a racial issue….see my point

black people are racist against themself…then they blame the whites …when is it gonna stop .

if there is no struggle, then no progress

WHI IS HE MAKING THAT FACE?

This is not a racial thing, this is just another event that the police show that they are above the law and can say,do and create any senerio they please to get away with whatever their hearts desire. I swear, the NYPD is the biggest legalized “gang” around. It’s very sad indeed what the NYPD has come to.

TO MTO:

HOW DARE YOU CALL THIS RIDICULOUSNESS!! WHAT WERE YOU AND YOUR STAFF DOING ABOUT THIS SITUATION?

DID YOU SEND ANY CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE BELL CHILDREN? DID YOU DO ANYTHING? YOU HAVE A LOT OF RIDICULOUS STORIES ON THIS SITE BUT THIS IS NOT ONE OF THEM!!!

I believe they meant the article that detailed how they were aquited not the protest

I dont care for AL Sharpton either, I do believe he has his own agenda on things, but again, he cant be knocked. When people are abused by the cops, whose there to help them, who lends their voice for their cause, he does. Granted he’s not a MLK nor will he ever be, but he’s the closest thing to it for our generation.

I saw on TV this morning an old white woman and and an old black woman getting arrested together as they hugged each other. It was such a beautiful sight to see us unite like that.

M-Daddy

Hello!

@ Hilly Jill…

“This is stupid and will do nothing. You negroes will continue to be murdered and walked all over.”

I’m inclined to agree w/ Hilly Jill. How many more marches and protests are we going to do? And STILL cops continue to blatanly shoot & kill blacks & latinos.

I keep saying that one day they’re going to shoot the wrong innocent child and a parent is going to get an AK-47 or grenade launcher type weapons and wipe out 100+ cops in on fell swoop. THEN the system will understand.

so what i basically learned from watching the news on this case is that new yorkers aint got nothing but time. figured as much.

feds need to pick up this case and give the 2 families—$50million the other 2 victims $10 million each. should be more ppl at those demonstrations

Like I’ve said before some police officers are no less then gangsters with badges

They are hit man with no one in particular to hit. They hit randomly and earn a salary for it

@ Brother M…what’s good playa?

“Like I’ve said before some police officers are no less then gangsters with badges”

And you’re right, until someone hits ‘em back and hits ‘em back SERIOUSLY…they’ll continue to act w/ impunity. Like I’VE said before, unfortunately, white America only seriously responds to acts of violence perpetrated on their own.

@NotoriousOne

I think that more people should start protesting, not only for Sean Bell but for all of the injustices that black people endure due to the legal system. I always knew that there was no legal equality for black people and this just strengthens my feelings. Once we all start to stand together no one will be able to ignore us.

This is so old…get over it already

A co-worker just brought up something to me. She said when the police do what they did to Mr. Bell or even the Jenna six incident Al Sharpton is usually on the scene protesting, marching getting arrested and what not, but there is never a rally when we kill each other. We should take a stand against genocide as well
