(Reuters) - The city manager of Sanford, Florida, where a neighborhood watch leader shot and killed an unarmed teen, called a news conference on Thursday amid demands for an arrest in the case and a vote of no confidence for the police chief.
The press conference at Sanford City Hall was called by City Manager Norton Bonaparte Jr., who was expected to discuss developments in the highly charged case.
The killing of Trayvon Martin, 17, an African American, by neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman, 28, a white Hispanic, has drawn national attention and sparked debate over Florida's "Stand Your Ground" law since Zimmerman has claimed self-defense. Police thus far have declined to arrest him.
On Wednesday, Martin's parents joined hundreds of demonstrators gathered in a New York park to demand an arrest in the shooting death.
At the same time, in Florida, Sanford's city commissioners passed a motion of "no confidence" in Police Chief Bill Lee Jr., who has said the department acted properly in not arresting Zimmerman.
But it's up to Bonaparte, not the commission, to decide whether or not to fire Lee.

I need a Big Media Sucks! bumper sticker.
Since Hussein’s race is listed as African on his “birth certificate”, we should call him a WHITE AFRICAN.
We even need a drink for that.
Looks like the Hussein Heads are checking in with the “Zimmerman is guilty” posts.
Let's see if they ratchet it up and start calling the stand your ground a ‘hunting license” to hunt blacks.
Well...I’m thinking convention time in Florida would be ideal rioting circumstances. And if the 99% and those out for white blood are in the proximity of the convention hall, then Chicago ‘68 is gonna look like Disneyland by comparison.
Agreed. Typical Feminazi in appearance, speech and mannerisms!
My research told me European Argentine was 86% (mostly from Spanish and Italian ancestries) are white.
But who cares about fraction % numbers. I don’t. But certainly the white population is large one way or the other. (I don’t know how they come up with these numbers anyway.)
Panama’s white population is 10%. I am in the 10%. Never the less, we all get along just fine no matter color of skin because Panama has one culture.
So much for this multicultural crap in the U.S. and Europe. What an awful mistake!!!!
I was just trying to prove that you can be White and Hispanic. I don’t care, just trying to show the truth to confused posters.
One culture is the way to go. Libs screw up everything.
“I was just trying to prove that you can be White and Hispanic. I don’t care, just trying to show the truth to confused posters.”
You are correct. Posters think Latins/Hispanics are all the same shade of I don’t know what, but white is not one of them.
Many months ago there was a Tea Party gathering, and Bill O’Reilly made a brilliant observation (sarc) that he did not see any blacks or “Latinos” in the group. I sent him an e-mail asking him “what does a ‘Latino’ look like?” I am still waiting for an answer.
Thank you for you comment.
