The Trayvon Martin shooting

[BW23]

So the city manager is N. Bonaparte? Really?

This is all just so crazy to me. I'm almost afraid to even listen to the 911 tapes.

I'd advise against it unless you want it to haunt your thoughts for the next week.

The Sanford chief of police is temporarily removing himself from office.

He said "f*cking coons" on the 911 call.

Is it racist for me to say he doesn't exactly look like a Zimmerman?

[maddash]

The previous Chief stepped down when an officer's son beat a black homeless man (this was on tape, btw) and nothing was done about it at the time. Only after the tape made it to YouTube did the cops/DA do something.

Sounds like they need to formally make Youtube the chief of police.

I heard on the news the other night that he is half hispanic.

This shouldn't even be a race issue. This is a murder issue.

I've been thinking the same thing. This is crazy guy murders innocent young guy minding his own business. That police department is seriously and dangerously mis-guided.

It's murder, but because of the police screwing everything up, he'll go away on the maximum of the remaining of the legal charges that can be brought against him. There's nothing vigilante about this. I'll leave open the possibility that the state legislature creates a law that retroactively allows the charge of murder to brought even if a suspect was not arrested at the scene of the crime.
