Manhattan Adult Entertainment: Sean Bell Ruling: Facts?! Who Cares About Facts?!

Sean Bell, in case the name does not. . . er — ring a bell, was a 23-year-old black male killed by New York City police in a proverbial hail of bullets early on the morning of Nov. 25, 2006. A number of facts in the case are immutable:
FACT: Bell in his short life was arrested three times, twice for drug dealing and once for a firearms possession.
FACT: The men Bell was in the company of the night he was killed, Joseph Guzman and Trent Benefield, had themselves been arrested nine and three times, respectively. Each had been arrested at least once for illegal firearm possession. Guzman had been previously arrested for armed robbery and had served two separate terms in a state prison. Benefield had a sealed record as a juvenile for gun possession and robbery.
FACT: The Queens nightclub Bell and his friends were frequenting the night of the shooting was under investigation by police, who were there in plain clothes, responding to reports of a prostitution ring.
