Having seen in the news, the media, sports, and all other channels on the television, the incident occurring on February 26, 2012 continues to leave an impression in the black community. I have read and posted other articles from the author, LZ Granderson, he again takes a stand on the effects this event has left on stereotypical prejudices against the black community. This article looks at the injustices in the Trayvon Martin case. The author goes on the describe the details leading to the late release of the incident, which was only publicized after Trayvon Martin's parents filed a lawsuit. How the other party involved, Zimmerman-who was a volunteer neighborhood watchman, was never tested for alcohol or drugs, but Trayvon was. How Zimmerman has yet to be questioned. The police has avoided the numerous amount of paranoid calls from Zimmerman over the past weeks instead of looking into if they could be related to similarly and if they were racial profiling.
The article brings into discussion the other cases where the deaths of others have been covered up and almost overlooked by the police in order to prevent publicity. I have been following the case updates and am surprised that nothing had been done to Zimmerman to this day.
