yeah so on the way home from school on friday i get off the bus a few stops early to go and hopefully buy GTA (yeah i would really like to beat up random people in the city i live in heh)

so, i get off the bus and walk down the block, and i come across these people on a truck asking people to join the protest at club kalua the place where Sean bell was shot 50 times by the police.

now, if you don't know the story, a year and some time ago, a guy was out having fun before the night he was planning to get married at this strip club round my way.

got into an argument with some people at the club, and him and his two other friends to go leave the club.

the people they were arguing with followed them, one thing led to another and these undercover cops shot Sean bell and his friends 50+ times.

Sean Bell didn't make it, his two other friends were injured, but lived to see another day.

anyways, a year later, cops go on trial.

and being that this is the fine city of new york in the fine country we call America, of COURSE the cops were acquitted of killing the poor man.

this verdict was read a week ago, and of course the community are hoping mad.

now i'm not sure what happened, but i know for damn sure there was no fucking reason to shot the boy up 50 times, even if they were coming at you in a car in a threatening way, could you blame them they don't know you from a whole in the wall, but still, you DON'T HAVE TO SHOOT TO KILL!!! for god damn sake, shoot a tire out, shot him in the arm, but DON'T SHOOT 50+ times, thats excessive.

anyways, i stayed with the group for a while, took a lot of photos. at the time this photo was taken, we were riding in the van and the cops were following us, eventually telling us we couldnt be out with the bullhorn on a truck etc etc etc. we were passing by a mosque and a school and they said we were disturbing the peace or something. well, whatever
