You're absolutely right-
My own opininion is that I just don't see how it'll bring Sean Bell back or speed up the investigation.

Re: So, who is near the protest downtown?
My thoughts asre that it is not necessarily about the race of the people who work on Wall Street, but the power Wall Street has in the NYC politics. It seems this group wants a reorginization and are telling people with power (Wall St) to do something.

you may be right about the wall street protest, but the one in harlem had to do directly with white owned businesses. I believe that leaders had asked for people to boycott thme in jamaica as well.

I am all for free speech but I am white and had nothing to do with this shooting. Except for being white! The Rev Al Sharpton is trying to take us back to the 50's and its insane.

seriously...they are fighting racsim with racism.
I was always told two wrongs don't make a right.
(besides the fact I don't agree that it was racially motived in the first place).

yes they protested in a couple of places, including Harlem, agaisn't white owned businesses. Apparently they are the ones that fund the cops or something like that.
