In the words of my dude Lord Jamar from Brand Nubian:
“Now I was mad @ this news and so were my brothers
And I wanted 2 get violent but I’m a lover of black mothers.
And black mothers needs SONS … or courses on how 2 use guns…”

That was a travesty of justice. I hope Mr. Bell’s widow gets through this ordeal and I wish all the best for her and her kids.
As for the policemen who killed this innocent guy, they should have been in jail.

Travesty of justice is an understatement.

no words could ever express the remorse we feel for the friends and families and how wrong this was to happen to Sean Bell and his friends. This story really touched me and my fiance’ not only because Sean and my fiance’ look so much alike, but the fact that justice was not served for them. As more of these stories unfold, gun violence seems to be held in the hands of the ones who are supposed to Serve and Protect us.
