200 Arrested in Massive Show of Civil Disobedience Over Police Acquittals in Killing of Sean Bell

AMY GOODMAN: Here in New York, more than 200 people have been arrested in a day of protest over the acquittal of three police officers in the killing of Sean Bell. The twenty-three-year-old Bell died in a hail of fifty police bullets on the morning of what would have been his wedding day in November of 2006. Bell was unarmed. On Wednesday, demonstrators halted traffic at six busy intersections in Manhattan and Brooklyn. Democracy Now! interviewed protesters on the way to the Lincoln Tunnel.
