Pro-Trayvon Protesters Shut Down Sanford Police Department After Barricading Doors
Mediaite ^ | April 9, 2012 | James Crugnale

Protesters supporting Trayvon Martin shut down the Sanford Police Department on Monday after they barricaded the doors in an act of civil disobedience, The Orlando Sentinel’s Rene Stutzman and Bianca Prieto reports.

“The city of Sanford hopes the actions of the students will be as peaceful and orderly as the previous rallies and marches have been,” City Manager Norton Bonaparte, Jr. said in an email to the Orlando Sentinel. “We want to be accommodating to all our visitors proving they act in a manner that is respectful to the people of the city.”

Members of the US Department of Justice are also monitoring the scene.

The shutdown of the Sanford Police Department is the brainchild of the Dream Defenders, “a coalition of college students from across Florida who have marched and protested against the handling of the case by police.”

Civil disobedience? It sounds more like mob violence from here. And why the police department? Wasn’t there a hearing do determine whether Trayvon Martin’s death was wrongfully brought about? If the DA had instructed the police to arrest George Zimmerman I’m sure they would have complied.

I would think... I might be wrong here, but...

I would think that this would be a crime of some sort?

Ordinarily, yes, and you are quite correct. But I was recently disabused of that faulty spelling and pronunciation by the grandiloquent Reverend Al Sharpton while he was holding forth on MSNBC regarding the race-baiter’s news find of the decade, the Thugvon Martin case.

He very distinctly called them - repeatedly - “skillets,” so who am I to argue with such an august personage as he?

Ah. In that case, my Politically Incorrect Paleness leaves me no choice but to bow to the wisdom of The Great and Powerful Al.

They get paid by the month.They get paid just as much sitting around the station as they do putting out fires.

My advice would be if you are White, stay away from Sandford. That and prepare.

It is all Bush's fault. Do not fear if when the Amish start shooting they shoot at you. The safest place to be is the target. Worry like hell if they are shooting at someone next to you,or across the street, or a block away.

The police have shown their true colors as revenue collectors Vs. Keepers of Public Safety when they allowed them to shut doen the Police Deartment.

Al Sharpton propaganda tv.

The requisite "Honkified" Zimmerman mug shot, and a nice array of TM baby pictures, but they forgot the most recent TM iteration (No_Limit_Ni**a with the shiny gold teeth).

Sharpton says here that Zimmerman was not under "life extenuating" circumstances. IWO, Sharpton is admitting here that Zimmerman's life WAS in danger, LOL!

That reminds me: I need to get some quality time in with my 40 S&W and my 1991. Wouldn’t want to disappoint the vermin spoiling for a slaughter.

Thank you!

The only thing that seemed to be missing from his report was a sponsor acknowledgment for The Sunshine Cab Company, Incorpulated.

Why do we seem to allow fools like Sharpton to get all bent out of shape whenever they perceive unfavorable stereotyping, yet they personify and perpetuate it themselves?

Haven’t his 15 minutes of fame expired decades ago?

More mob rule from the protected classes.

50 members of the liberal mob trumped the 50,000 residents of Sanford... the liberal way...

Some how I just don't see this happening to Joe Arpaio, sheriff of Arizona's Maricopa County.

Not any more! Looks like the citizens in the Sanford area are going to take care of the problems themselves.
