Published reports indicate that [Al Sharpton] wants to bring the Sean Bell verdict to the national spotlight and said the act of civil disobedience won't take place unless legislative action occurs. Sharpton would not say what the nature of the protest at Yankee Stadiumwould be, but said it would be "very dramatic." The act is symbolic, according to Sharpton, because Bell was an aspiring baseball player.

In conjunction with the announcement of the act of civil disobedience, federal and state legislators are asking for stricter policies on police misconduct. At a press conference at City Hall on Sunday, a group called the Tri-Level Legislative Taskforce that includes the Bell family and Rep. Gregory Meeks, Sen. Eric Adams released the "Report on Improving Public Confidence in Law Enforcement in Our Criminal Justice Svstem." After a year of public hearings, the task force presented the findings for recommendation to legislation.
