Hundreds flood streets in protest of Sean Bell verdict
Protesting the acquittal of three cops who killed the groom with a 50-shot blast on his wedding day, they demonstrated outside One Police Plaza and at five other locations in Manhattan and Brooklyn.
Dozens were arrested, including the Rev. Al Sharpton, Bell's fiancee Nicole Paultre-Bell, and the two survivors of the Bell shooting, Trent Benefield and Joseph Guzman.
The most dramatic demonstration was on the Upper East Side, where about 100 protesters waded into traffic and made for the Queensborough Bridge.
"Get on your knees! Get on your knees!" an organizer yelled.
And they did before the police, who greatly outnumbered the protesters, could stop them.
