Sean Bell Sex Twist
For anyone without top of the memory recall about this case, Sean Bell was killed the day before his wedding by NYPD undercover officers. The undercover officers involved in the shooting fired 50 shots, with bullets landing on the platform of an elevated train, striking parked cars, etc. It was the Wild Bunch out on a city street. You probably remember the details by now—if not, check the archives on this site for previous posts.
Anyway, in new court documents, the police are now saying that the catalyst that sparked their interest in Sean Bell and his friends (outside the strip club, where Bell was having his bachelor party) was that Sean Bell allegedly approached a woman and propositioned her for sex. Yes, that’s right. The police never mentioned this before now. Yet, they now claim there’s a woman, who was asked to go to a hotel to have sex with Mr. Bell AND his friends. The proposition was made in front of the woman’s male friend, according to police. As the story goes, words were exchanged and one of Mr. Bell’s friends shouts “Get my gun!”
I think this new claim amounts to a bunch of bullsh*t!
Just like the story about a fourth man being with Mr. Bell—and aiming and firing a weapon at police—is bullsh*t! This fourth man was never found, but more interestingly police radio transmissions don’t show a call going out for a fourth man with a weapon fleeing the scene of a crime and having fired on police officers. Now we’ve got more accusations being made against a dead man. I can hear the cops now… “Let’s paint the bridegroom as even more of a bad guy by saying he was harassing a woman for sex—right before his wedding.”
No one remembered this before now? The whole thing smacks of a lack of credibility and of racism. It plays right into the stereotype of oversexed Negroes. The racism playbook is often the same—on the streets and in the workplace. We’ll have to see what else shakes out of this tree, as the case moves forward.
