Dr. Wilmer J. Leon III | Focus on Their Color; Fail to See Their Humanity

Question that will never be asked, I bet

"According to the New York Times, on November 25, 2006, hours before he was to be married, Sean Bell was shot and killed in a hail of police bullets," writes Dr. Leon. "Many questions still need to be answered about this latest tragedy. What led the officers to believe that these men of color would be involved with a firearm? Did the officers wait to see any evidence of a firearm? Did they announce themselves as police officers before they started shooting? Did Mr. Bell have any reason to know that he had struck a police vehicle? Also, why did the police shoot first, without seeing a gun, then ask questions later?"
