I found the whole thing

I found the whole thing troubling, but this part only underlines the lack of training it seems that anyone at the Sanford Police department has:

Investigators pushed Austin to identify the man on the ground as Zimmerman, who was wearing a red jacket, he and his mother said. But he said it was just too dark and he was too far away to be sure.

You should never try to lead a witness — unless you're a lawyer, of course.

Here is a perspective on Sanford police department and it's past history with the black community.

When you listen to bad rap

When you listen to bad rap music, you get depressed. When you get depressed. When you get depressed you feel like a victim. When you feel like a victim, you only see women as female dogs. When you see women as female dogs, you can't stop even when you are married to Beyonce and have a beautiful female daughter. Women are just dogs to you. When you see women as dogs, you will even bring a talent like Maya Angelou into your depression and add her beautiful poetry to your profanity.

Don't listen to bad rap music. Don't be depressed Go old school. It's an anti-depressant.

Yes, there never seems to be a single solitary fuck given re: racist or sexist attitudes towards white males. Blow me over with a feather.

tmac,

I was extremely naive to believe that with the election of President Obama we would be enjoying a new era of less inbred ignorance and nonsensical negativity towards one another. I forgot a lesson I learned years ago....

People utilize behaviors as long as they perceive 'it's working' for them. When it begins to not deliver the same 'rewards' as in the past and they feel threatened by the change in the results, they increase their actions, sure doing more of the old is all that's needed to 'make it work for them again'. Until they hit the wall, they will not modify their actions.

The more we have posts like this and positively confront the ignorance and senseless bigotry, the better for us all and the worse for those who still choose to engage in destructive behaviors/actions.

I was stunned about Grassley calling President Obama stupid via twitter. The 'You Lie' shout out and Grassley's (and others) overt disrespect to POTUS, well, begs the query, would 'they' do this if he was white? I hate that I even have to ask this!

MLK would hold modern

MLK would hold modern Conservative's feet to the fire. Allen West and Herman Cain have completely ignored the racist-toned commentary in the GOP. On the other hand, Murkowski and a few other GOP women are beginning to speak out about misygynistic actions by the GOP.

Zimmerman was more of a danger that night than Trayvon. The concern about trying Zimmerman in public was not in evidence during media frenzies over Nicole Brown Simpson, Laci Peterson, Nicole Holloway and Jon Benet Ramsay. Slander of the murder victims was not the norm.

I know this is supposed to be satire, and mimic Derbyshire.

However:

Caucasian = Klan Cracker???

It's not satire - it's a common pejorative or attitude used by liberals - even Caucasian liberals.

First reactions about Zimmerman were "that racist conservative white guy" before people realized he was Hispanic and voted Democrat.

PS - a Lulupalooza to Dick Day for noting that Christianity is probably what got the north to fight for an end to slavery - that a more laid-back non-religioius society probably wouldn't have had that fervor. Whether that was good or bad is another debate - but gives an interesting angle to events, as well as our thinking about religion.

To RMRD - thanks for the nice MLK quote.
