the next slide for trayvon. so in the case of trayvon, we have been watching the story unfold reality time. it's interesting that bill lee, the captain of the stanford police department submitted a letter of resignation. kind of a form of accountability you called for. a police department did not. they didn't call his parents. he was sitting as a joe dough for throw days. they brought george zimmerman in to the questioning but what was released within a matter of hours. case closed. trayvon martin was provocateur. there was stand "stand your ground" law. and lee decided to resign until the wake of the controversy. i guess what happened you probably know, as of today they reported that local citizens stood up in defense of him compelled the city council to refuse to accept his resignation therefore endorsing the police response as acceptable and legitimate. i can't help but think twenty years on the anniversary we were are repeating history as you said. we are saying it's okay for young black men to die when we p

trayvon martin was a child. trayvon martin was 17 years old. tea and was on his way home. trayvon martin should have been allowed to go home. whether trayvon martin was black, white, green, red, brown, he is our child. >> and right is right and wrong is wrong. >> and i feel like that sometimes a big story will be -- it's a good story for awhile then we lose it. i just wanted to keep it on people's minds that trayvon martin is our child. because i think what's happening is we're starting to -- the fabric of our country is tearing loose. then they took the trayvon martin story and made it political and black and white issues. it's not. it's about -- it is what the situation is. he is an african-american kid and of course he was targeted because of that, but at the end of the day, let's not make it political. let's think about our children. >> i remember like it was just yesterday when i first got a call from his parents and attorney ben crump. i had not heard of the case. when i sat with them and found that it had been decided in the police stati

trayvon was the provocateur. so there's a kind of acceptance of the four vigilante violence in the case and decided to resign in the week of the controversy and guess what happened, you probably know as of today they reported that local citizens stood up in defense of him and compelled the city council to refuse to accept the resignation there for endorsing the police response to george zimmerman as acceptable and legitimate and we can talk to think 20 years later on this anniversary we really are repeating history. we really are saying that it is okay for young black men to die when we feel we as citizens have a kind of legitimate fear you can brand and stigmatize all of them and this is unfortunate outcome. we are going to now as we make final remarks in reference to trayvon's case and share with us what he makes of all of this where we are and where we should be going we will have a few minutes for questions. i know we ran along all along. if you have a question, please come over to the microphone so it can be
