Why People Should Be Outraged at Zimmerman's 'Not Guilty' Verdict

"George Zimmerman, the Florida 'neighborhood watch' volunteer armed with a gun, has been acquitted of charges of second-degree murder and manslaughter in the shooting death of unarmed African American teenager, Trayvon Martin.

This verdict is at once so shocking and so expected to me that without a doubt it exposes the lie at the heart of the American 'criminal justice' system. We do not have, especially where African Americans are concerned, a "justice" system. It is often an injustice system that results in unequal treatment."*

George Zimmerman was found "not guilty" of all charges in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin. But is this right? Is this justice? There were many, many times after the moment of Martin's death that were not handled properly, and now we as a people must deal with the implications the "not guilty" verdict sets forth. Cenk Uygur details and breaks down where the case went wrong. 

Florida Police Shoot Unarmed Black Man In His Front Yard

"This weekend, deputies from Escambia County, Florida shot an unarmed man who went to grab cigarettes from the car parked in the driveway of his mother's home. A neighbor called police at 2 a.m. because he suspected 60-year-old Roy Middleton was stealing the car. Things quickly escalated when two deputies arrived and ordered Middleton to "get your hands where I can see them."*

60-year old Roy Middleton was shot by police officers "like a firing squad" after he went to get cigarettes from his mother's car from the driveway of their home. Then, police officers were called to the scene and shot the unarmed man as he was complying with their orders. This all comes fresh after the controversial Trayvon Martin/ George Zimmerman verdict. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian discuss.
