JUSTICE FOR SEAN BELL AND ALL VICTIMS OF POLICE VIOLENCE!!
COME OUT APRIL 25th, THE DAY
OF THE VERDICT!!
In Nov. 2006, Sean Bell was
murdered by the NYPD in a hail of 50 bullets.
His friends, Trent Benefield and Joseph Guzman, were seriously
injured. 3 of the officers involved now
await the verdict of their trial. The judge has stated that he will announce
the verdict on FRIDAY, APRIL 25th.
PEOPLES JUSTICE for Community Control and Police Accountability is
calling for a rally and community speak-out in front of the Queens DA's office
ON THIS DAY*.

OUT: APRIL 25th at 5:30 pm
To
the Queens DA's Office
125-01
Queens Blvd. (between Hoover Ave & 82nd Ave.)

The NYPD's murder of Bell and
attempted murders of Benefield and Guzman are NOT isolated or random events.
They represent the continued targeting of communities of color by the police
and the lack of accountability for police misconduct and abuse.
