Busy little town. All sorts of racial issues there. Been building pressure for some time. This one might blow over, but in the long run, there is going to be some spectacular friction.

IMO we've gotten to the root of the problem. This death is just a symptom of a much larger problem. Since the Oxycontin at the CVS has just recently come to light, the community was sensitive that a narcotic officer was involved in this case. Maybe just curious if it was a larger problem.

Two past unprosecuted attacks/murder involving police officer's family just adds to the tension racial tension.

Zimmerman according to family members letter, was on the side of justice in one of those cases.
Trying to solve community problems by tutoring kids of many races according to his neighbors and friends.
Is it just ironic that now he's the target? Or is it payback from a LEO who he crossed?

The Philadelphia article pretty well spells out the racial tension in the community, Wikipedia link adds more, including why it exists and the drug issues in the major community. How many people in town make the living by distribution of it?

Wonder if TM’s father is a pharmacist? Never have heard what his occupation was. /s

It is correct to get an outside person to handle this case. ALL material needs to be released so there can be no doubt what happened in the community .
