HeadlineDec 07, 2006

Here in New York, an estimated 2,000 people gathered near police headquarters Tuesday to protest the killing of the unarmed bridegroom Sean Bell. New York City Councilmember Charles Barron addressed the crowd.

New York City Councilmember Charles Barron: “We were cool when there were 41 bullets for [Amadou] Diallo. We were cool when they murdered [Eleanor] Bumpurs. We were cool when they murdered [Patrick] Dorismond. We were cool when they murdered [Malcolm] Ferguson. We were cool when they murdered [Timothy] Stansbury. It is time for us to get hot.”

Community leaders have planned a major rally down 5th Ave. for December 16.
