(Reuters) - The city manager of Sanford, Florida, where a neighborhood watch leader shot and killed an unarmed teen, called a news conference on Thursday amid demands for an arrest in the case and a vote of no confidence for the police chief.
The press conference at Sanford City Hall was called by City Manager Norton Bonaparte Jr., who was expected to discuss developments in the highly charged case.
The killing of Trayvon Martin, 17, an African American, by neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman, 28, a white Hispanic, has drawn national attention and sparked debate over Florida's "Stand Your Ground" law since Zimmerman has claimed self-defense. Police thus far have declined to arrest him.
On Wednesday, Martin's parents joined hundreds of demonstrators gathered in a New York park to demand an arrest in the shooting death.
At the same time, in Florida, Sanford's city commissioners passed a motion of "no confidence" in Police Chief Bill Lee Jr., who has said the department acted properly in not arresting Zimmerman.
But it's up to Bonaparte, not the commission, to decide whether or not to fire Lee.

It is if it’s a civil rights case. Matt Lauer was kinda steering the parents that way this morning. Some unintelligible sound on the phone recording is being passed off as “f***ing n*****s.”
This is a bunch of BS. It’s a modern day lynching. There have been multiple heinous hate crimes perpetrated against whites this month but where is the outrage? where is the 24/7 coverage? Where is Al Sharpton? where are the “justice rallies”? a 13 year old was doused in gasoline in Kansas and set on fire for “being a white boy”. Again, where is the outrage? A 20 year old black man raped a 85 year old white woman and then beat her to death in front of her 90 year old husband this week. He was beaten to unconsciousness and shot in the face with a BB gun by Mr. Tyrone Woodfork who was later caught driving the elderly couple’s stolen car. Where is Al Sharpton? Not in Oklahoma.
Gee - do ya think?
We have 40 murders a day in the USA.
20 Blacks murdered - every day. Mostly Black on Black.
About 400 White:Black murders/year.
This is just because racism is a key for Obama election.
When is the rally for justice in this case, where’s Jessie,where is Brother AL. ( sounds of Crickets)
How would that interest a light-in-the-loafers muslim? Not to mention you and I have a very different notion of "cute".

Yes. Originally the story referred to the man as 'white' and killing a 'black' teen.
Once it was revealed that he was 'hispanic', the MSM was instructed to keep the 'white' reference in, NO MATTER WHAT, to ensure that the sheeple believed it was WHITE on BLACK.
If you don't believe me, then just do a google search and read the various articles. They now all refer to him as a 'white hispanic', even though that phrase has NEVER been used in recorded history.
What exactly is a white Hispanic. You are either one or the other but not both. Maybe they should call him Hispanic American?
Liberals were having a problem with the fact that there is rarely a white on black/hispanic hate crime. So they played around with the FBI statistics to tweak “white” hate crimes. This is why black on white hate crimes are rarely described and prosecuted as such.
A little off topic, but did you catch Jessica Sanchez on
American Idol singing Whitney’s hit, ‘I Will Always love You’?
This kid is terrific..did it almost as well as Whitney.

lol. “White Hispanic”... the media is really desperate to cause a racial backlash
A White hispanic???
The dude is just following the Census classifications....
http://www.census.gov/prod/cen2010/briefs/c2010br-05.pdf
White is a race, Hispanic is an ethnicity.
I don’t know if the guy shot the kid because he was black or not.YET I DO KNOW THIS ADMIN IS GOING TO USE IT TO GET SOME TYPE OF RACE ISSUE going on. Has 0dearreader called the kids Mom yet?
And Obama is a “white negro.” It’s all so confusing.
“George Zimmerman, 28, a white Hispanic...”
I saw that too!!! What the hell does that mean? What the hell is the hidden message from Reuters here?
I am totally flumoxed!!!
“Why hasnt the DOJ arrested or pushed to have arrested G. Zimmerman?”
Hussein doen’t want to piss of the hispanics once they learn it was not actually a “white man” involved
Find an incident.
A spark to ignite the flame.
Ratchet it up to a raging inferno.
I'm going to go out on a limb and make a prediction.
The Con Black Caucus will be calling for an investigation of all cases in all states involving the stand you ground or castle doctrine and whether or not the shooting was racially motivated and the police covered it up.
If it hasn't already been done and I don't know about it,Let's see how accurate I am.
“What a horrible thing! I did not hear about that story (exactly what you are trying to say!)”
No small wonder you didn’t hear about it. Few did outside the area where it happened.
What am I trying to say?
The rat MSM covers up black on white crime- no matter how hidious- like the Christian/Newsom masacre.
A young white couple was kidnapped by a gang of 5 blacks, raped, and tortured for two days before they were cut up, burned and tossed away in garbage bags.
This was covered up by the MSM.
They refused to declare it a hate crime.
Most of them got away with sentences much lighter than this hidious crime called for.
