NORTH MIAMI BEACH, Fla. - North Miami Beach police said surveillance video shows dozens of high school students demonstrating in the Trayvon Martin case Friday ransacking and shoplifting from a Walgreens store.

The incident occurred during a walkout from North Miami Beach Senior High School in support of Martin, 17, who was fatally shot in Sanford. Protesters have been calling for the arrest of George Zimmerman, 28, who has not been charged because he claimed self-defense in the shooting, according to police.

Minutes after walking out of their school Friday at about 11 a.m., a large group of students walked through the streets of North Miami Beach. Along the way, they stopped at a Walgreens at 163rd Street and 15th Avenue.

I was pretty young when the Detroit riots in 68 took place

My in-laws were living out around 14 Mile. 8 Mile is the dividing line between Detroit City and the suburbs. The city is 85% black, the 'burbs are 90% white. The rioting got out as far as 6 Mile. If it had gone two more miles, an impromptu militia of armed white suburbanites was waiting to meet them. That would have made all the history books. The National Guard was sent to keep that from happening.
