Sean Bell verdict protests scheduled for Saturday?

If you know of a protest scheduled to take place today (Saturday) in New York City, please send me an email ASAP.

I would like to photograph the event. Note to protest organizers: I will make my photographs available to you at no charge.

I am deeply saddened and disappointed by the verdict in the Bell case. I didn't expect the police shooters to beat the rap for carelessness as well as murder.

I know the accused have the right to waive a trial by jury, as the Bell shooters did.  However, it seems unfair on some basic level that the criminal justice system got to try its own, without input from a civilian jury.

Update: The National Action Network was reportedly organizing a protest in Harlem today. This morning, when I called the National Action Network hotline to ask for directions to the rally, I was told that no demonstrations were scheduled for today. I don't know if plans changed at the last minute or what, but NY1 is reporting that a rally took place outside the National Action Network building in Harlem.

Does anyone know if it is still going on? Or whether there are any other actions planned for today by the National Action Network, or other groups?

I share your sadness and disappointment, but not your surprise.

I do not share your sadness.

I guess you know that Al Sharpton has threatened to close the city down, so it appears you'll get your photo opportunity.
Should be an historic moment and I mean this purely objectively.
