my favorite party of the story is this:

Police Chief Bill Lee said that although police do not encourage watch program volunteers to carry weapons, he recognizes a citizen’s constitutional right to do so. No arrest was made, Lee said, because there was no evidence to disprove Zimmerman’s account…

“We are taking a beating over this,” said Lee, who defends the investigation. “This is all very unsettling. I’m sure if George Zimmerman had the opportunity to relive Sunday, Feb. 26, he’d probably do things differently. I’m sure Trayvon would, too.”

Now! We should first:

Feel sorry for the POLICE in this situation, somehow, because they’re the real victims.

and also, let’s all learn what that kid who was going to visit his family should have done differently, like, oh, put on a lot of makeup so he looked white and also never walk anywhere ever because you’ll be killed for being black.

america! It’s pretty shitty for black people, but we should pretend that there’s no reason to call the police nasty names, because that would be WROOONG frownyface scold
