In Honor of the Slain
Posted by Bossip Staff
Hip Hop artists unite to honor the memory of the late Sean Bell:
Swizz Beatz, Talib Kweli, Cassidy, Drag-On, Maino and Styles P. have all come together to record the song ‘Stand Up (A Sean Bell Tribute).’ The track debuted on AllHipHop.com yesterday and will be available for purchase at the iTunes music store. The song will cost 99 cents and 100% of the proceeds will go to the Sean Bell Benefit Fund.
Truth be told, it’s refreshing to see artists unafraid to stand up and speak out against injustice. Click HERE to peep this new track.

FIRST
It’s good to see brothas coming together.
Second
This is great-hip hop artists standing up for more than hoes and Hennessy. I’m gonna buy the track.
RIP Sean Bell
THIS IS WONDERFUL…IT REALLY IS. AND I AM GLAD THEY ARE TRYING TO HELP THIS FAMILY. I WISH MORE HIP HOP ARTISTS WOULD GET INVOLVED IN CAUSES AND MATTERS OF REAL SUBSTANCE INSTEAD OF TALKING ABOUT B*TCHES AND HOES AND ALL THE JEWELS THEY HAD. GOOD LOOK FOR THOSE INVOLVED.
LOVE THIS PIC OF NICOLE AND THE KIDS TOO!
Good for them…real shit. Cause she cant sue the state because they werent married right?
Okay, maybe not, lol… Hey “I’m Just Me”, Happy Thursday!!! One more day till friday, woohoo!! I think Sean’s wife looks beautiful and his daughters are addorable… So sad that Sean will not be around to watch them grow up.
Also, I am very happy to see these artists step up and try to help the family… Honestly though, where is Jay-Z, Puffy and 50 Cent in this? Their the ones who can afford to give 100% of the sales to procedes, not struggling artists like Swizz Beatz, Talib Kweli, Cassidy, Drag-On, Maino and Styles P. I guess we see who is rich with love and who is rich with greed.
Those little girls are soooo ADORABLE!!!
^^^ Jay Z set up a trust fund for the kids…..
such a pretty family..
Meanwhile on the other side of the street…
~~
“Six teens were found near Harlem’s Marcus Garvey Park, where a crowd had gathered. It was not immediately clear whether they were wounded at the park or as they fled when gunfire erupted about 10:15 p.m. Monday, police said.
The victims — between the ages of 13 and 18 — were found on several blocks along Lenox Avenue, from 125th Street to 128th Street. They had been shot in the chest, thigh, torso, abdomen or foot, police said. A 15-year-old girl had been grazed on the forehead. No arrests had been made”.
~~~
It’s time to take life seriously at all points.
It’s so upsetting for Police to shoot at an unarmed vehicle and by the grace of God only 1 man was killed that night.
It’s is just as upsetting when we point the guns at eachother and get the same outcome.
OUTRAGE AT ALL KILLINGS OF YOUNG BLACK MEN & WOMEN
I wish they could have got more big name rappers (Jay-Z,50,The Game,TI)on the song b/c it would encourage more people to listen to it.
NICE…………DRAG-ON WHAT ROCK OR HOLE DID HE CRAWL OUT OF????????????????????????? I HAVEN’T HEARD ANYTHING FROM HIM IN ABOUT 12 YRS
R~I~P
dayum im feelin this pic….beautiful family…
it’s nice to see positivity after so much negative ISHT has been done
I wish the best for the Bell Family.
He did NOT die in vain.
Brooklyn
Jay was the first one who i heard did something for the family.. Swizz is far from struggling-he lives in a house w/ a helicopter pad in the middle of a neighborhood off a cliff.. hello Brooklyn!!
Beautiful family. I would think she could sue on behalf of his children even if they weren’t married. And whoever said it is nice to see hip hop artists stand up for something other than hoes and hennessy, I agree 100%
Yep that’s a good move. It’s still sad though that he had to die of foolishness at the actions of stupid cops. I’m not sure what the hell is going on with Black America. I live in Dallas and black men are constantly in the news for stealing, killing and dying. It’s a damn shame we can’t get along. I remember growing up and it my mom was like it was good to get her son out high school and onto college. I pray for Black men because it is so hard for them in this society.
Well,lets see.. if he wasn’t a drug dealing thug, he’d still be alive, and if any of them had any morals they would of been married, instead of having a “baby mama”.. if you want to know whats wrong with this world, just look at a family like this, and know there are millions of families just like this one, and people wonder why the world is so f*cked up.. stop selling drugs, stop being a thug, make an honest woman out of your “babymama”, get a job and stop being “hard”..
He’s Pres.
the only reason its hard for them is because they make it hard.. stop being lazy, start getting an education, stop listening and looking up to these gangsta rappers, get a job, stop selling drugs, stop blaming the white man, pick yourself up and stop being a loser… than maybe it wont’ be so hard.. but i guess it’s just easier to blame someone else..
This is a wonderful thing! True, there should be more of the bigger name hip hop artist involved but its okay. Just the mere fact that they are doing anything at all is a good thing. So Kudos!
Oh, and that’s a beautiful pic of the family. Very cute girls!
That’s wuz up blk ppl finally doing sumthing positive. I LUV IT
@ME
He didn’t get killed cuz of no damnn drugs u ignorant bitch (pleaz dnt piss me off dis morning. He wasn’t doin anything illegal so get da fuQ off dat man like dat u hating ass bitch. And u can’t judge dat man life as 2 y he had a baby mama, damn at least they were about 2 be married. Me the world is fucked up cuz ppl like u say da dumbest ish….dats y.
@Me
Yeah it is easy 2 blame sum1 else, but when ur shot 4 absolutely no reason…..damn right u blame every f*cker dat pulled da trigger. U know wat its ignorance like urs dat pissed on my bright and beautiful day.
WHAT REALLY HAPPENED I NEVER GOT THE WHOLE STORY, WHY WAS HE A TARGET???????????????????????????????????????????????????????
It would be nice if mainstream hip hop could be turned on its head and drop real knowledge. Right now the music that’s being spitted is devil’s pie.
Good to see artist use their voice for a cause!
Side Note: That oldest daughter looks just like her daddy. I love to see little girls who look just like their daddy, and still be a cutie pie.
brooklyn
is that your babdy she is an angel
@ bree(Check me out!)
Brooklyn
Jay was the first one who i heard did something for the family.. Swizz is far from struggling-he lives in a house w/ a helicopter pad in the middle of a neighborhood off a cliff.. hello Brooklyn!!
———————————-
That’s great! I didn’t hear that about Jay, I only said that cause he usually donates whenever there is a tragedy and I didn’t hear anything in this tragedy. Also, LOL @ Swiss & his helicopter pad on a cliff, lol!!
@ShayShay
Thanks. Yes it is, she is my lil’ Princess!!
Ya, the truth usually does piss people off.. He went to his car, threatening to get a gun to shoot other people…
im pretty sure that if you threaten someone with a gun, YOU GET EXACTLY WHAT YOU DESERVE…
so again, stop being a thug, stop being hard, and stop threatening to shoot someone.. i dont’ care if you really have one or not..
btw, what kind of p*ssy threatens to shoot people… and doesn’t even have a gun.. just trying to be hard and scare people…
well i guess he wont’ be doing that again.. but you all just go ahead and stand up for this man like he was a saint.. he was a drug dealing thug who threatened to shoot people… he got what he deserves, yet all you make him out to be a martyr.. but dam if he was white, none of you would of card at all.. bunch of racists you are…
Brooklyn ,,, Jay z was they say the first to donate…. he always helps folks out….. my Pistons lost last night and i am so angry.. but hey all is fair is basketball… but i hate to lose!!!! lol!
check out this site for prison rides
http://www.keimatetransportation.eventbrite.com
btw, wordz
seriously where did you learn to speak english.. i had to read your jibberish like 3 times to even figure out “wat u r sayn”… you sound ignorant, so im sure that your opinion of the sean bell case is just as “ignant”.. learn to speak english, learn to spell… than maybe we can have an intelligent conversation, instead of me feeling like im talking to the drunk bum on the street corner
beautiful woman, you are making a great thing! did you joined the famous dating site~(((((~ I n t i m a t e m i n g l e . c o m ~)))))~, a site for interracial romance, interracial relationship. I just found that many people here keep talking it these days! I need the answer from you!
@ me
and what does that make you??? on a blog site saying that some poor child father deserved to be killed because he threatened someone… if he did, you werent there and neither were we!!! people kill me like they were standing there!!! we werent in the titty bar that night so we, including your ass wasnt there. i dint respond to be ignorant, so i wont go there but, you got alot of DAMN NERVE SAYING SOMEONE DESERVED TO BE 52 TIMES. I HOPE YOU HAVENT EVER MADE A TJREAT OUT OF ANGER… IF YOU DID LETS JUST HOPE YOU GET WHAT YOU DESERVE. RIP SEAN BELL AND GOOD LUCK TO THE FAMILY, SHE HAS A LONG ROAD AHEAD OF HER BEING A SINGLE MOM OF TWO LITTLE GIRLS!!
AT BROOKLYN.
SHE MUST GET HER GOOD LOCKS FROM HER MAM!:)
we need to stand up and pray that some shit like this never happens again.
R.I.P. Sean Bell

————————
LOL, It’s okay, I know it’s still early. But yes, she gets her beauty from her mommy and her charm from her daddy.
@Ms BB
I saw that game, it was a good one, sorry your boys didn’t win but Hamilton did his thing.
LMFAO @ fine em a thousand pounds!!!! lil black boy gwan like em cant read!
HILARIOUS!!!
@I’m Just Me
What’s up buddy?
SHE DOES LOOK LIKE MS KITTYMY BABIES DONT LOOK LIKE ME EITHER.
corp.
Everyone who was shot, had a history of carrying guns.. Everyone of them had been convicted of weapons charges.. too bad, so sad, huh..
Im curious cause you say i wasn’t there, and than you say you weren’t there, yet you are standing up for this man.. why is your opinion more valuable than mine.. we both werent there, right? so how can you stand up for the man, but bash me for saying he got what he deserves.. seems a little hypocritical to me… but than again, i see hypocrisy ALL OVER THIS SITE… if he wasn’t black, you wouldn’t care.. HYPOCRIT..
Bree.
there were others in the club who confirmed that.. but what’s funny is the witnesses that good ol al sharpton interviewed, who said that noone in the club said anything about a gun, were paid, by Al.. Paid cash for their “eyewitness account”.. hahahah.. i bet those people are credible huh..
me
again, hear say
shayshay
Bossip did not post my first response..w/e..it’s so annoying that people come on here just to start mess and Bossip embraces the madness
Brooklyn… yeah Rip did his thing…. but hey it happens but i still got their back…. i showed that Jamiacan lady beefing in stratford about the cigarette smoke to everyone back in chi and they are still crackin up… those jamaican women dont play…gotta go find out the latest news about Kellz .. on the phone now talking with my family in chicago!!!! keep you posted twin!!!!
Bree..
well obiously it’s “hear say”.. everything is “hear say”…
but as long as people defend sean bell and people like him, i will defend the cops and the people that are here to serve and protect us from people who threaten other people.. people who have a history of carrying illegal guns, people who sell drugs, to kids, to single mothers.. you all make him out to be a saint, why??? cause he’s a black man.. i personally don’t see color, but i do see alot of hypocrisy..
I love how this is turning out for the wife and children. Good for the hip hop community. Cops killing a man on his wedding day and getting away with it. Sean, Nicole and their kids looked like a nice, happy family. The black community needs more fo that.
Me
i don’t know Sean Bell from a hole in the wall..i am just disturbed by your lack of compassion for the savage death he endured..i am not making him out to be a Saint..i don’t really want to go back and forth..i’m agreeing to disagree.
ITS ABOUT TIME
http://www.myspace.com/thagrindaholic
i have no problem with that bree… i can dig it..
and i can’t say i dont’ have any compassion.. i morn for his children.. its sad they have to grow up without a father.. its sad this man chose to deal drugs instead of provide an honest living for his family… it’s sad the choices he made that night.. it’s sad the cops made the choices they made too.. things should of gone differently..
but noone can come here and say he’s a saint or poor poor sean bell, with a straight face…
Man, blessings to his kids, wife and entire family. RIP Mr. Sean Bell and all those who have come upon a tradegy such as this.
@Ms BB
keep you posted twin!!!
————————–
Thanx twin!!
RIP to Sean Bell. Many blessing to the Bell Family one day you’ll be together again. Till Then may God protect you with heavenly guidance and support.
I hope those dirty cops get what they have coming sooner than later.
@ Me, Oh NOOOO, HOW DARE YOU, be so correct and on point!!! That is not allowed here.
Stupid ass baby mama, opening her twat to push out two kids to a loser that was going to killed by another drug dealer or a police. If a drug dealer killed her baby daddy she wouldn’t have been able to sue and she wasn’t married to him so technically she can’t get paid by the city. Hopefully she can use the money the send her kids to private school and get the hell out of Brooklyn and move on.
@ me
LIKE I SAID. I GAVE MY OPINION OF YOU BECAUSE OF YOUR STATEMENT, AND LET ME SAY IT AGAIN. YOU WERE WRONG AS HELL FOR SAYING THAT SOMEONES SON FATHER OR CHILD WAS SHOT BECAUSE HE MADE A THREAT!!! THATS WHAT I SAID AND MEANT. IM NOT BEING A HIPOCRIT. IM BEING A REALIST!!! REGAURDLESS OF WHAT HE WAS CAUGHT WITH PREVIOUSLY, WHICH WAS NOTHING!!! HE HAD NOTHING THAT NIGHT!!! HE WAS UN ARMED!!!! AND IF YOU READ THE COURT DOCUMENTS THAT THE NTPOST PUT OUT, HE HAD NO PREVIOUS CRIMINAL CHARGES ONLY 3 OF HIS FRIEND THAT WERE OUT. SO WHOS TO SAY HE WAS A DRUG DEALOR OR CRIMINAL. MY POINT TO YOU MS ME IS THAT IF WE ARE GONNA THROW SHIT OUT THERE AGAINST DEAD PEOPLE THAT CANT DEFEND THEMSELVES, LETS MAKE SURE WE PUT OUT THE RIGHT INFO. THIS WILL BE A CASE THAT MARKS HISTORY, AND IM SURE THATS THE LAST THING WE WANT HIS CHILDREN TO READ WHEN THEY GET OLDER THAT IS WAS OK FOR THEIR DAD TO BE SHOT 52 TIMES BECAUSE HE HAD DOPE DEALING FRIENDS….. JUST USE YOUR LOGIC ON THAT INE.
later Brooklyn, m daddy, and southern belle 225!!!!!!
real nice track…Im glad to see them doing something so positive…truly a tragedy…RIP Sean Bell….what a beautiful family
later brooklyn , m dady and southern belle 225!
@ versace
you dont know ny law very well IF SHE decides to sue in a cival case all she has to prove is that he was unlawfully killed by excessive force and chi ching!!! she will prove it ince they admit the 80 some rounds shot at the car. and because she is the mother of his children she will walk away real phat!!! but just to show you what kind of oerson she is she has already she states she doesnt wish to file a cival suit. she said she would rather have justice!!
Corp.
Ugh.. he was not shot 52 times.. he was shot like 4 times…
and all i can say is that if someone threatens to shoot me, i hope a cop stops them to question them… and well if they decide to try and run the cop over, or hit a car and try and flee, well than they get what they deserve… plain and simple..
and you’re right, he had no convictions, but he was busted several times with drugs and guns.. ya, sean bell, he’s a saint.. LOL>.. UGH..
i just feel so bad for her……WELL AFTER READING SOME OF THE DUMBAZZ STATEMENTS MADE…I FEEL SORRY FOR ANYONE KILLED…NOBODY DESERVES TO LOSE A LIFE ..YA DIG…NOBODY…CRIMINAL/COP NOBODY DESERVES IT NO MATTER WHAT THEY DO FOR A LIVING….KARMA’S A BYTCH…PEOPLE NEED TO WATCH WHAT THEY SAY AND WRITE……PERIOD…
Autumn
You’re right.. noone should be preaching the truth, cause karma may come get them..
well lets just chalk it up to an innocent black man, minding his own business, not threatening anyone, living a life of peace and prosperity, who just happened to get killed by some wacked racists cops who were just looking to shoot a black man that night…
you have convinced me to bury my head in the sand, like the rest of you, and just come to terms it was racially motivated and they just felt like killing an innocent black man…
thank you for showing me the light..
well woop tee doo
they need to establish a young black people in crisis fund and contribute to that as well. all these famous names in hip hop need to realize alot of these youths look up to them and try to immulate them thereby keeping their pockets FATTER.
why does there have to be a fatality for the hip hop community to give back rather than spend their cash on materialistic bullshit
My God…those little girls faces..say it all. Too much too soon….
but he was shot at over 80 times 52 bullets struck the car and 6 bullets struck him 3 of which were fatal. not trying to be difficult with you but as a full time media specialist, its a part of my job to look at the facts…. not what we think we know… so whats the uggghhhhh all about?
noone said the boy was innocent, and you are wrong he had no drug convictions only 3 of his associates, now if you want to correct yourself and day guilt by association then say that. but lets not call hm a dope dealer becasue he was never caught
@elo
i kno right the pic just looks very sad
@ no name
i guess i co sign wiht that, but in this day in ages is hard to try to imagine how someone else will interpret what you say… parents need to train and instill in their children whom and whom not to listen too!!
also all i have to say on sean bell is…
every blk person i know that have been rob, SHOT, killed, stabbed or whatever it has been done by ANOTHER BLACK PERSON
when i think about my kids i fear their safety more from my own race than i do the police
you guys can deny it all you want and i LOVE my black people but that is true talk
im really tired of reading in the paper how another young blk child was fatally killed because black youths want to murder one another
i can blame the people who put the guns on the street and glorify its use but i would rather blame the person who is actually using that gun even though they know the consequences
@ me i wont go that far and say it was raciall motivated, and hopefully your just being sarcastic and not dimb. we can call it what it is! police over extending thier power! the used un necessary force. we cant say it was race becauce twi cops were a minority as well! all im simply sayng is this young man was kiled wronngfully. thats it. if justice was going to be served then him and his friends would be under investigation or in jail… not shot dead!!!!
@ no name
unfortunately you are right but with the way all you people think today and the main source of influence on a downward spiral, mmeaning hip hop…. this may just be something we have to get used to, i hate to say it but its true.
What baby mama gets paid on a cival suit. The parent’s yes, I don’t see her getting paid at all.
Corp..
Ok you asked for it. dont’ say i didn’t warn you.. and for someone whose job it is to know the facts, you aren’t very thorough..
Exactly 50 shots were fired.. not 80 like you claim.. he was hit 4 times.. not 6 like you said.. and he sold crack cocaine to 2 undercover officers in August of 06.. was caught with drugs twice and a weapon once, however he was released on his own recognizance.. so yes he along with his associates have all been busted for drugs and guns.. you really need to read more..
So if you want to know what the UGH is all about, it’s the fact that you and others here are twisting facts, trying to make it more than it is, and are really just ignorant of the facts, yet you claim to be this media fact finder… so ya.. i say UGH..
btw, heres the link.. read and educate yourself before speaking.. you only look foolish..
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sean_Bell
I think they blocked my last blog..
@ me
AND LIKE I SAID AGAIN IM STILL READING FROM THE NEW YORK POST WHERE HE HAS NEVER BEEN CONVICTED OF A SRUG CRIME … NOTHING ITHER THAN A TRAFFIC VIOLATION. IM GETTING MY INFO FROMM A 100% CERTIFIED POST, NO BLOGS AND NO REPORTERS PAPERS, HE WAS INVESTIGATED FOR PETTY THEFT AND ACCUSED OF HAVING DRUDS IN AUGUST OF 2006, NO CONVICTIONS AND NO JAIL TIME, SO AGAIN SINCE YOU FEEL LIKE BEING PERSISITANT , THE UHGGG WAS FOR WHAT… TO COVER UP YOUR FIRST STATEMENT , BY SAYING HE DESERVED TO BE SHOT BECAUSE HE WAS A THUG AND A DRUG DEALER. I NEVER MADE HIM TO BE A SAINT, HE LIVED IN THE MEAN STREETS OF NY SO HE DID WHAT HE DID TO PROTECT HIS FAMILY. YES HE WAS ARRESTED AND INVESTIGATED FOR DRUGS AND NEVER CONVIVTED OF THE CRIME. SO HE WASNT A DRUG DEALER THAT DESERVED TO BE SHOT, HE WAS A YOUNG MAN OUT THE NIGHT BEFORE HIS EEDDING AT A NASTY ASS TITTY BAR AND HE WAS UN-JUSTLY MURDERED BY THE COPS… YOU SELL A GOOD STORY THOUGH, YOU SHOULD HAVE WORKED FOR THE PROSECUTION,,, AND AS FOR MY JOB I WOULDNT PAID WHAT I GET PAID IF MY JOB RESEARCH WASNT ON POINT…..FYI, SINCE YOU MENTIONED IT!!!!!!!!!!!
@ me yeah bury dat head….cuz i am from philly and our finest just beat the hell outta some dudes in car…as was posted…..now these white skin heads are posting signs all over talking about
it’s not guns that kill people it’s minorities and they list the cops and the killers (BLACK MEN)…..so like i said NOBODY DESERVES TO DIE…..AS FOR THE RACIAL PART EVERYTHING THAT IS DONE TO BLACK PEOPLE IS RACIAL…….OH BUT WE WILL FIND OUT IF OBAMA IS ELECTED…….
ALSO THE COPS THAT BEAT THOSE BOYS YOU SEEN HERE ON BOSSIP GOT FIRED…..AND THAT’S WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN TO THESE COPS…..SMH AT THE MADDNESS….
@ VARSACE
SHE WILL GET PAID SHE IS THE MOTHER OF HIS CHILDREN, SHE WILL GET ENOUGH FOR HER CHIILDREN, BUT WONT NEED IT BECAUSE CELEBS HAVE ALREADY SET A FUND FOR TJE KIDS TO GO TO COLLEGE… THATS WHY SHE DIDNT WANT A CIVAL SUIT!
This is a graet opportunity for hip hop to stand for something. That was a beautiful song.
@ AUTUMN
THATS WHY ALOT OF STUFF HAS HAPPENED. ALL THESE OTHER RACIALLY MOTIVATED CRIMES… AND THE WAY THEY ARE CINVERING UP THAT STORY IS BY SAYING THEY JUST FINISHED SHOOTING A COP OR SOMETHING OF THE SORT… ITS STILL SHAKY CAUSE THER STORY COULDNT BE CONFIRMED… WE MAY ALL NEED THE NAME AND # OF LIL KIMS PLASTIC SURGEON, SO WE CAN GET BLEACH JOBS. BECAUSE WHEN BARACK GETS IN OFFICE WE ARE GONNA GET IT!!!! LMAO
My heart really aches for this family, I can only wish them all the best for the future. You know their father is watching over those girls from above, they’ll be alright.
Peace Love Unity
Can you guys stop arguing with “Me?” This person is obviously here to ruffle our feathers and some of you are giving in to it. Probably is some rookie cop looking to piss someone off, lol.
Anyhoo, the older daughter looks EXACTLY like Sean and this pic just brings tears to my eyes. Gosh it’d been better if he was in a coma that way at least he’d of had a chance at recovering. SMH, wish for his loved one’s sake he was alive. They were a beautiful family.
would this be the same ny post that said he was shot at 80 times, when it was really 50.. or that he was shot 6 times, when it was only 4…
ny post credible.. hahahahah.. ya right…
he wasn’t a “young man out for the night”.. he was a thug drug dealer who hung around thugs that threatened to shoot someone in a club..
you too sell a good story.. hell if i listened to your outlook on the situation, you’d think mary poppins was strolling down the street with her bible and some cops did a driveby…
why dont she just get a damn job already and stop looking for handouts!!!
@true1: what a rude comment. Not only is this money for her to take care of her children, but this money is for her children so that they can one day go to college and make something of themselves. And since the POLICE took their daddy away from them she has to support her kids. DUH!!!!!!
whatever. sean bell was no saint. you live by the sword you die by the sword. bottom line.
what good man is out at 3am, night before his wedding, hanging at a strip club known for drugs and prostitution??? Not to mention the fact he was drunk, rammed his car into the cops, tried to be a big man starting beef. i mean come on, get real. one less problem off the streets! Hopefully his children will grow to be good contributing members of society. i think his wife is kinda pathetic actually, at this point, she needs to figure out how she is going to support those kids once this is old news. hopefully she has a decent plan B
AND UHMM SEAN BELL WAS ARRESTED FOR SELLING CRACK, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THATS A KNOWN FACT. PLUS HIS FRIENDS WHO WERE THERE ALL HAD RECORDS, AND ONE OF THEM BEAT HIS BABY MOTHER AFTER THIS ALL HAPPENED.
LOSERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!
He sold crack to undercover cops ON TWO separate occasions. The three mutts had 17 arrests between the three of them, soooo innocent. What really makes me mad is that my hard earned dollars will end up paying for a civil suit for these morons.
She sue seems to be profiting from Seans death. Everytime I look around someone is putting something in her pocket and she hasn’t even had the civil court date yet. He was a thug who should have stopped when given the command. Sean Bell was no hero.
I think that is a good idea, I wish someone would of done that for my family, being a drug dealer does not give the police the right to kill he was still human if they have a problem with drug dealers they should try and stop them from selling not kill them, thats the problem now if they cared they would help people, not hurt them
Now THOSE ARE TWO BEAUTIFUL children!
@ NIKKI–
What’s good, ma?! You typed–
“Good for them…real shit. Cause she cant sue the state because they werent married right?”
____________________________________________________
Actually, she can sue on behalf of the little girls.
@ me–
I’ve heard the stories about him “supposedly” getting a gun but I never heard of one found.
_____________________________________________________
This man was scheduled to get married in less than twelve hours from the time of the tragedy!! He went to a bachelor party–like men do!!!
What pissed me off is how the press tried to make them out to be worse than they were by plastering so much negative news about them–especially Sean when in fact, most of their findings were noting more than lies.
I’m hoping Nicole does sue! At least, for defaming her children’s father’s name.
BTW–She legally changed her last name to Bell.
@ Me
Wow your level of self hate and/ or contempt for the black race is really disturbing. It is that type of mentality that contributes to the situation that our young black males are in. Their lives are so devalued, they are so unloved overlooked and devalued by our society that they have internalized that their lives are meaningless that is why they are killing each other and being killed like it is going out of style.
Even if we agree that he was a drug dealer, is it legitimate for undercover police in an unmarked car to shoot at a vehicle trying to get away and not shooting back, it is ok for police officers to shoot over 50 rounds on a public street at people who pose no threat. All of the people in the car and any pedestrians on that street could have been killed. How can you believe that black life is so unimportant and valueless that it is ok to shoot unarmed people while they are fleeing and posing no threat at all. So valueless that it is ok to shoot 50 rounds with no regard of what innocent bystander might be killed. Shells from the police bullets were found blocks away.
Again, even if we agree that he was a drug dealer since when is the punishment for dealing drugs, being shot and killed by police, no trial no nothing. If that is the case a good percentage of the white race would be wiped out because statistics show that White males make up the vast majority of drug dealers and users, but we do not hear about them being gunned down by police. We hear about them being released on their own recognizance, we hear about them being sent to treatment facilities, we hear about mommy and daddy paying a lawyer to get the charges dropped and their records expunged, but mostly we do not hear about them at all.
I am sorry I do not believe that a man who is doing right by his family by marrying the mother of his kids in a wedding at a church I can’t believe he was out hours before threatening to shoot somebody. How do we know the police did not bribe the so called witness who heard them say in a crowded club with loud music that they were going to get a gun. How do we know the “witness” did not have a criminal record that the police used as leverage if they did not say what the police wanted. There have been so many cases where the police have been found to have bribed or threatened “witnesses” to corroborate what they want. Read up on the case of the 92 year old women the police murdered and the person they used to legitimize the shooting who later admitted that police had told him what to say.
Anyway I know I am wasting my energy, but your lack of compassion is really saddening. Anytime my people are murdered whether it is by one of our own or the police I am sad and my heart aches. No matter what my opinion is I would never be heartless and uncompassionate b/c I know there is always information that I am not privy to, circumstance that I know nothing about, and situations that I can not imagine. If I had to deal with some of the situations that our youth face, parents on drugs, moms who are prostitutes, dads in jail, violence, drugs, chaos, stress, failing schools, low expectations, no role models, etc if I grew up under those circumstances I can’t say what lifestyle or what path I would have fallen into.
police is suppose protect and serve thats what they get paid for, there is no reason for people to get killed by them, where do they be when people are killing each other and where do you think the guns come from thats right the police I am not saying all guns but I have seen the police give guns to young black men, our young men are falling in their traps they are trying to get rid of us and the plan is working, I have seen alot of things and could go on and on but that might not be a good thing to do, I am writing a book about the hood,today ’s youth and the police
THIS AIN’T THE 60′S FUCK SINGING WE NEED TO START SINGING.
wow a bunch of rude people
jenna and jaime… you speak the truth he was no saint.. he was nothing but a drug dealing thug and why should anybody feel sorry for this creep!?
and like i said before she needs to stop the bullsh!t and find herself a job. why should we pay for her kids? she is the one who made the choice of having babies by a drug dealer. an imo the police were doing their job and they did it damn good that night!
I feel so sorry for the bell family
