I’ve had several readers email me the link to this story this evening:
NYC Councilman Charles Barron on Sean Bell’s death: It doesn’t matter that the person who shot him was black, advocates violence against police
A couple of days ago, I wrote about the shooting death of Sean Bell by police officers from the NYPD, and in that piece referenced Heather MacDonald’s write up about the incident which included a little-known fact about the shooting, and that was that the first policeman to take a shot at Bell’s car as it was moving towards them was a black officer, which puts a big dent in the theory that the shooting of Bell was “racially motivated.”
Was the shooting death of Sean Bell motivated by race?
By now, you’ve probably heard the story about the Queens, NY shooting death of Sean Bell by the NYPD. 50 shots were fired by undercover police officers at the scene of the incident – a strip club, killing Bell and injuring 2 others, who are still in the hospital.
