I'm not Black but I doubt if anyone can blame the cops for chasing down a stolen vehicle. I am very against hot pursuits at high speeds, but the driver lost control.

This has nothing to do with the Trayvon Martin shooting. The cops should be blamed for their poor handling of this case. They didn't even secure the scene where he was shot. They didn't check Zimmerman for alcohol or drugs. They didn't even take his gun. They didn't check the cell phone he was using to contact his family.

Why blacks in this country are "whining?" because we and our ancestors help build this country while you and yours were running around butt naked in the hot African sun looking for mealworms! We, who can trace our lineage back to at least three to four generations in this country helped make it what it is today still have not gotten our fair share which is equality. The really sad thing about it is that tired azz IMMIGRANTS first and second generation blacks come from whatever backwater country they hail from and talk like they actually know the true history of this country. Come to think of it, if it was not for the struggles of the blacks here people like yourself would not have gotten into the country in the first place
Actually my ancestors were members of one of the most cultured and powerful tribes in Africa as described by the British. We also successfully fought the British off for about 100 years and sold you all to fund it.

Your ignorance of Africa is telling. Your own ancestors wouldn't cosign what their descendants are doing today. It's appalling and tarnishes their memory.

[quote=justNancy;23545816]That was awful. I remember the man reached for his wallet to show ID and they started blasting away at him. The cops were never convicted either. Just a mistake I guess, but that didn't help the man who was shot over and over and over like those targets at police firing ranges.[/QUOTE

This Zimmer**** was even a cop,so the boy didn't have to answer him.
I can't understand people who say the boy didn't have awrite to defend himself.
I guess blacks will have to return to the Jim Crow laws,where blacks needed to have passes to walk around.

Cultured and powerful tribe eh?
So why are you here than?

As I said,Ghana must be a third world country...NOT!
Where did the funds go btw? Down the drain,because you guys lost and were slaves in your own country. Now that's funny!

Who said it is different? If you read my posts you'd see I have never defended the shooter. I haven't counted my posts, but I must have 20 of them saying how upset I am about this story. Go back and read my posts. You are attacking the wrong person.

It's a shame you have to go to the foreign press for objective reporting I guess this is the sad state of affairs of American journalism.

Trayvon Martin may have attacked a Neighborhood Watch captain before the man shot dead the unarmed teen in a gated community in Florida, it emerged yesterday.
An anonymous witness of the incident has claimed that he saw Martin 'beating up' George Zimmerman shortly before the fatal shot which has led to a national outcry, including a huge 'hoodie' march in Philadelphia last night.
However, friends of the 17-year-old say they cannot imagine him getting involved in a fight, and insist that he was not violent.

What difference does it make if he beat up Zimmerman? He was being pursued by a stranger with a gun who had no authority. I'm 61, 110 lbs, and walk with a limp, so I guess I'd have to hit him with my cane. Then could he shoot me too?
