How A Miami School Crime Cover-Up Policy Led To Trayvon Martin’s Death

The February 2012 shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martion might never have happened if school officials in Miami-Dade County had not instituted an unofficial policy of treating crimes as school disciplinary infractions. Revelations that emerged from an internal affairs investigation explain why Martin was not arrested when caught at school with stolen jewelry in October 2011 or with marijuana in February 2012. Instead, the teenager was suspended from school, the last time just days before he was shot dead by George Zimmerman.

Trayvon Martin was not from Sanford, the town north of Orlando where he was shot in 2012 and where a jury acquitted Zimmerman of murder charges Saturday. Martin was from Miami Gardens, more than 200 miles away, and had come to Sanford to stay with his father’s girlfriend Brandy Green at her home in the townhouse community where Zimmerman was in charge of the neighborhood watch. Trayvon was staying with Green after he had been suspended for the second time in six months from Krop High School in Miami-Dade County, where both his father, Tracy Martin, and mother, Sybrina Fulton, lived.

Do Obama and Holder and Sharpton, and Jackson know this? They probably did, but still tried to cause unrest. These racist need to be exposed.

As president of the ENTIRE Unites States, Mr. Obama should have kept his mouth shut. Condolences to the family, that's all. Guess Obama is just president to the black citizens of the US. So then, do us white folk get to choose another president?? LOL

The numbers don't allow it.Completely unenforceable in a public school system of that magnitude.The red flaggers always surface after the fact.The woulda coulda shoulda's always come out of the woodwork.You can set your clock by them.The next thing you'll hear is that George was part of a much larger conspiracy.As long as the ratings go up that story will never end.

Of course they know it that's why it was not allowed to be submitted as evidence to his character in court.
