Sound tragically familiar?
In George Zimmerman's city of Sanford Florida, this is how it went down, according to an outraged black community (and five witnesses), all of whom are demanding the city's new black police chief fire two white officers:
The black man is heading home from a store with food. Two white police officers racially profile and follow the man to his neighborhood. There, the officers harass the man. The unarmed black man tries to run. The armed white officer chases him and -when only inches away- -shoots his Taser gun's 50 thousand volts of electricity into the back of the black man's head.
To cover themselves, the officers lie...to make it appear the black man was the aggressor. Will Chief Cecil Smith fire the white officers? Not an easy position when he was only recently brought in to replace white Police Chief Bill Lee- who was fired for not having immediately arrested George Zimmerman...and who also was beloved by Sanford's overwhelmingly white police force.
