New York Pricks & Dicks at its finest are no more than the murderers of a young family man with ambitious goals and aspirations. Truth is, I am Sean Bell, my brothers and friends are Sean Bell, and you too could be a victim of unjustifiable force by the people who your tax dollars pay [...]

The police are gearing up for what they fear may be a riot tomorrow after the verdict is announced for the three police officers who killed Sean Bell in cold blood.
