People protesting the acquittal of detectives in the fatal shooting of Sean Bell will gather Wednesday near six transit choke points around New York City before leading a march and “pray-in” organizers anticipate will lead to some arrests, the Rev. Al Sharpton said Saturday.

…Sharpton would not reveal all the details for the day of protests, according to WNBC News, but he did announce the locations for the main protests. They are:
- Third Avenue at 125th Street
- Park Avenue at 34th Street
- Third Avenue at 60th Street
- Varick and Houston Streets
- One Police Plaza
- 415 Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn
[Editor’s note: Last update I saw, I believe that the meeting time is 3:00 – three o’clock.]
