CBS Miami ^

Posted on 03/21/2012 2:49:13 AM PDT by SoFloFreeper

Hundreds marched in front of a Sanford church as NAACP called for the firing of Sanford’s police chief.

“We will ensure that there is a new chief in Sanford,” said NAACP President Ben Jealous. “Any chief who has so mishandled a situation like this has to go.”

No mention of Zimmerman's injuries...but the lawyer for Martin's family had a phone call with Martin's girlfriend, and that is reported.

The media also takes a swipe at Florida's "stand your ground" law.

Oh, and the media ALSO gives a plug to the New Black Panther rally while implying George Zimmerman is a...wait for it....RACIST.

This is just about getting another black person in a cushy position - whites need not apply for the new police chief position.

Is Zimmerman himself an Anglo?

The media keeps showing him in a Football uniform, like football are not criminals.

They seem not interested in why he was suspended at School.

I would wait for the facts to come out before I come to a decision but just like Duke's lacrosse players case the media and black leaders convicted them without facts and cost Duke Millions.

Sanford seemed like such a cool little old Florida place once...along time ago.

America, dear, you're gone and you're not coming back.

Ben Jealous? R u kidding me? Oh, well -- at least, as a phrase, it means something in English.

Ben, your 15 minutes are ticking away.

I’m getting peeved about this story. The community was being literally attacked by home break-ins being done by blacks. This guy got suspicious, confronted a guy on the street (yeah, he was warned away by the police, but that was just advice and not an order), and whatever happened. Nobody knows exactly what happened, and Zimmerman isn’t talking. I hope he has a good attorney.

This is going to go huge viral; Obama’s people see a huge opportunity in this.

Can the G.M. of CBS Miami be fired for continually portraying the Hispanic shooter as “white”, to gin up racial tensions?

On my LEO lists yesterday a retired officer posted his knowledge of this Chief. This Chief is apparently a very good person and is well respected throughout the law enforcement circles. He has an impressive resume. If an arrest wasn’t made, there is a reason. Right now we have to weather the storm, etc. It is sad when someone dies at the hand of another, it is another thing to ignore some facts in order to have your 15 minutes. I hope the department starts putting out information to balance the distortions that are out there.

If I were the Chief, I would state publicly: “I don’t have to answer to a political organization that stopped being relevant four decades ago.” He’d get a million points and be Chief fo’ life!

He was martyred in their eyes; those details are being scrubbed by the school as we speak.

“I would wait for the facts to come out before I come to a decision but just like Duke’s lacrosse players case the media and black leaders convicted them without facts and cost Duke Millions.”

Amazing how slander/libel laws only apply to conservatives.
