"What we witnessed today was White Supremacy reminding us who is in charge. If they say black bodies are inherently criminal and threatening, then black bodies are inherently criminal and threatening. If they say it’s reasonable to fear black people, then it’s reasonable to fear black people. If they say it’s well within their rights to stop, frisk, question, and kill black people they deem “suspicious," who make “furtive" movements, then call the coroner and start slow singing and flower bringing.
They told us who they are. It’s time we believe them"

SANFORD -- After five weeks of trial and 56 witnesses, few legal observers believed prosecutors came close to proving Sanford neighborhood watchman George Zimmerman committed second-degree murder when he shot and killed Trayvon Martin in February 2012.
So for many legal analysts, it was no surprise that jurors rejected even a lesser “compromise” verdict of manslaughter, acquitting Zimmerman outright of all criminal charges and deciding he acted in a reasonable way to protect his own life.
