It's safe to assume that an ignorant fool like you would not know about
the serious race-related problems the Sanford police had and have, the
drug problems in the area, and that large parts of north east and
central Florida are populated by ignorant white racists at least as
stupid as you are, or that Florida itself had the largest number of
lynchings of black folks. So, yes, race is still a big issue in parts of
Florida.

You are talking ancient history. When was the last lynching? 75 years
ago? 100 years ago?
This particular neighborhood was racially mixed and the black guy who
came to the defense of Zimmerman was a retired CNN executive.
The Sanford police had a shakeup after the racist problems, the city
manager who appointed the current chief is black and the second in
command is black.
They have also said this is a witch hunt and they refused to accept
the resignation of the chief.

That last sentence is absolutely NOT true. They refused to accept his
resignation because they want to wait until the truth comes out, let
alone the scuffle about his severance package.

Here is part of the city meeting minutes:

O'DONNELL: So how do we interpret this vote? Was it a vote against
54,000 dollars? Was it suddenly a vote of confidence in a police chief
where this same police commission voted no confidence?

BONAPARTE: I think it was neither. What I heard at the meeting was some
members of the commission wanting to go through the process and see what
an independent investigation would show. Did the chief do something
wrong? Did he not do things he should have done? That's something that
we've been asking for some time. I came to the realization that with the
ongoing criminal investigation , it was going to be difficult for a
criminal -- for the city to get answers to those questions because of
the evidence. The evidence is still going to be tied up until the trial.
And therefore I thought, working with the chief, we could move forward
by having this separation agreement .

The whole thing can be seen he
