Seems very knee jerk to me.
. . . better training for Neighborhood Watch Volunteers seems like a good goal, wonder if that will include marksmanship training?
. . . wonder if they will include 'minority assimilation training' too because had Mr Martin walked down the sidewalk that evening with his head held high, instead of skulking along near the bushes and cutting through the yards this whole event would probably have been different.
. . . wonder if 'anti-Whoop-Ass' training is going to be included in that bill, where it says if a minority is in a community and decided to give someone of a different culture the 'whoop-ass' then that person may not understand that the cultural meaning of the event and may, in fact, fear for his life and shoot the aggressor.
Black caucus readies racial profiling bill in response to Fla. verdict
Members of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) are readying a flurry of bills in response to George Zimmerman’s acquittal on charges in last year’s fatal shooting of Trayvon Martin.
The lawmakers are drafting proposals intended to rein in racial profiling; scrap state stand-your-ground laws; and promote better training for the nation’s neighborhood watch volunteers, among other anti-violence measures.
CBC members had remained largely silent throughout the trial, but following the verdict, argued forcefully that, decades after the civil rights movement, the nation’s criminal justice system still discriminates against blacks and other minorities.
