This is another one of my (Josh MacPhee) old pieces. I created this stencil soon after Sean Bell was shot and killed by New York City cops in November 2006. He and two other unarmed black men were shot at 50 times, thus the epitaph “They Reloaded.” This was made at a small gathering of people making art in response to the incident at my friends Kat and Josh’s house. The idea was to put these up in the street, but that never happened.
