I haven't seen the evidence that contradicts the police account. I hesitate to accuse an entire police force of racism based on little evidence.

The likelihood of that occurring is about 0.0000001%. There is already publicly available information that at the very least should have resulted in the local police force engaging in a more thorough investigation. Do you honestly think that this investigation was done properly based upon what is known? This isn't about the end result of the guilt or innocence of Zimmerman, it's about a police force doing its job properly and a state law that opens the door for unstable people like Zimmerman to take on a self proclaimed vigilante role and kill people.
So I thought the point here was to get justice for the wronged and their family. That being if there was wrongdoing to jail or possibly even capital punishment for the offender. Even the DOJ admits that is unlikely.

In the Martin case, the department is likely to first closely watch how Florida officials handle it in the face of increased public pressure. And one DOJ official, who did not want to be quoted, said at least the initial evidence suggests it will be hard to prosecute Zimmerman under federal hate crimes law.
"While the investigation of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin will go forward, it will be difficult to prosecute the case under federal law. Civil rights law protects against hate crimes or actions by police officers, but Martin's shooting may not have either of those elements," the official said.

So what is the end game here? I thought we were looking for justice?

Where there is no justice, there will be no peace. Soon and very soon, the law of retaliation may very well be applied. #Trayvon
