SANFORD, Fla. - A group of students protesting the Trayvon Martin shooting on Monday blocked the entrance to the Sanford Police Department by kneeling in front of the doors, forcing the department to close.
No arrests have been made in the Monday protest, which comes a day after the students, who call themselves the Dream Defenders, completed a 40-mile, three-day march from Daytona Beach to Sanford, where Martin, 17, was shot and killed by neighborhood watchman George Zimmerman in late February.

I can't recall ANY Police Department being "shut down". Wouldn't this constitute a threat to public safety?
I say break out the bear spray on anyone that would obstruct/inhibit first responders from their duties.

Well this is no fun.
The best part of this stuff is watching them tossed around in the street by water-cannons.

I guess city manager Norton Bonaparte, Jr. is about the biggest pussy I ever heard of. They are SHUTTING DOWN A POLICE STATION, you mega-dork.

Imagine how differently things would have gone if a group of protesters had forced an abortion clinic to close by kneeling in front of it.
Racism is alive and well.

Today is a school day. The enablers of these children teaching them that education is for dummies and its more important to chime in on racial justice issues they know nothing about.
To: running_dog_lackey
Yeah “students”.
The MSM wants you to envision glasses wearing,bookbag carrying.earnest nerds wearing pocket pen protectors.

"If Dr. (Martin Luther) King were alive today, he would know that his dream has not come true," said Stetson University student Jelissa Conway.I don't know about that. It seems that Trayvon got what the content of his character asked for.

Police departments don't "shut down", they "choose to close".
If anything, misplaced white guilt and PC fear shut those doors...
