Racial Profiling has
become a very serious issue that needs to be publically more
often. In America many law officials have been accused of racial profiling when
it comes to identifying possible suspects. In recent events a young African
American male was killed by an older male named George Zimmerman. George
claimed he saw a black male with a hoodie on walking in his neighborhood and he
looked suspicious.
Detailed
Accounts From ABC News – “Police recordings made the night a
self-appointed neighborhood watch captain allegedly shot and killed an unarmed
17-year-old boy outside his stepmother's home sent the boy's mother screaming
from the room and prompted his father to declare, "He killed my son,"
according to a family representative.
The series of emergency and
non-emergency calls to police depict the apparent progression of events on Feb.
26 that led to the watch captain, George Zimmerman, 28, who is white, allegedly
shooting Trayvon Martin, a high-school junior who is black, as the teen made
his way home with a bag of Skittles and a can of iced tea.
On one call to a non-emergency
dispatch number, according to Julison, Zimmerman says, "He's checking me
out," and then, "This guy looks like he's on drugs, he's definitely
messed up."
"There's a real suspicious
guy. This guy looks like he's up to no good, on drugs or something,"
Zimmerman can be heard telling the dispatcher.
"These a**holes always get
away," he adds.
The dispatcher is heard trying to
discourage Zimmerman, asking, "Are you following him?.. Okay, we don't
need you to do that."
Within minutes, however, 911 calls
are being made to police reporting the two are fighting.
"They're wrestling right in
the back of my porch," one frantic caller says. "The guy's yelling
help and I'm not going out."
On a second call someone's screams
for help can be heard and what
sounds like two gunshots.
