I think that if the boy had been white and Zimmerman black the local PD would have treated him very differently in particular considering the fact he has a record.There would have been no need for others to get involved because the PD would have look into much closer and assumed that Zimmerman was not fully truthful.

I agree that some people desire to be overly politically correct in the US but anyone that denies that race is still an issue for many is blind.

The government got involved because it is very clear that the Sanford PD did not even seem to take into question anything that happened even if you look it form a colorblind standpoint the incident sounds very questionable.

@ august My understanding is that Zimmerman is half white half Latino.And even if he considers himself Latino that does not exclude the chance that he might have had a racial motive.I feel that no matter the race in nay crime or possible crime if those involved are of separate race or ethnicity and there is any sign of a racial motive it needs to be looked into.

I don't care if it is a Chinese guy and black woman or a latino and a white if there is any evidence to suggest a racial motive it should be looked at.Many of the residents in this community have said that Zimmerman had a fixation on young black males and he clearly states on his 911 call "these *******s always get away" the Sanford Police now even admit that they "found" another tape where Zimmerman appears to be saying "****ing coons" under his breath during the call.
