On Monday, the Broward County Sheriff’s Office released a video calling on the public not to riot in the wake of the George Zimmerman verdict, expected this week or next in Florida. The Sheriff’s Office released a statement explaining that it was “working closely with the Sanford Police Department and other local law enforcement agencies” to coordinate “a response plan in anticipation of the verdict.”
The video, titled “Raise Your Voice, Not Your Hands,” focuses on attempting to channel reaction into non-violent response. It depicts two youngsters, one black teenage boy, one Hispanic teenage girl. “Raise your voice!” says the girl. “And not your hands!” says the boy. “We need to stand together as one, no cuffs, no guns,” says the girl. “Let’s give violence a rest, because we can easily end up arrested,” says the boy. “I know your patience will be tested,” says the girl, and then both conclude, “but law enforcement has your back!”
“Let’s back up and choose not to act up, and deputies are with us, so no need to act up,” says the boy. “Let it roll off your shoulders,” says the girl, “it’s water off your back, don’t lack composure, because in one instant it could be over.” Both conclude: “So let’s make the choice to raise your voice and not your hands.” Sheriff Scott Israel says, “I’m Sheriff Scott Israel, and law enforcement does have your back.”

They were very upset.
Sanford is 40 percent black and 20 percent hispanic.
According to the US census (2010):
Non-Hispanic White or Caucasian 45.0%
Hispanic or Latino (of any race) 20.2%
(The two combined as white or white Hispanic) 57.3%
Black or African-American 30.5%
That is still a very high concentration of nonwhites for “quiet suburbia.”
Sunrise here.
At the nearest walmart, I’m the only white person when I go there.
Miami-Dade is far worse, and actually did have a very large race riot in 1980.

Even at sunrise you are outnumbered???
Disseminate this widely.
One or two people shot will lead to peace.
How in heck is telling people to keep their cool racist? I’m aware it’s mainly addressed to the Demographic That Must Not Be Named, but it certainly does not disparage that demographic.
By the way, if there are any Zimmerman riots, I’m holding the media partially responsible, along with such idiots as Al “They’re Killing Our Children!” Sharpton.
I suspect that the media covers the stories up because it’s the reverse of their “white racism behind every corner” worldview.
Great “graffic” from you as usual (the Zimmerman one)!! Keep it coming, FRiend.
Maybe someday I’ll figure out how to use these little beasties (computers!!).
