Here in New York, a grand jury has indicted three police officers involved in the fatal shooting of Sean Bell. Bell was killed on his wedding day when police fired 50 shots at a car carrying him and two friends. All three men were unarmed. Sources say two of the officers will be charged with second-degree manslaughter. A third officer will be charged with reckless endangerment. Two of the officers involved in the shooting were not indicted. On Saturday, members of the People’s Justice Campaign held a protest to criticize the grand jury’s decision not to indict all five officers on murder charges.
