As for "race relations" in redneck/cracker areas of Florida, they remain a continuing problem. I have no familiarity with your area of the state. But of course you know all you need to know about Sanford... snerk |

Of course, you won't find that on that Fake News station you so love. |

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 http://video.msnbc.msn.com/the-last-...2312/#47152312 |
