Based on his calls I believe it is safe to say he had an issue with black teens. It probably was based on a look and his personal experience. Trayvon probably fit that profile and he said what he had to say to get the police there. He wouldn't be the first person to profile someone based on a look. As I said in another thread I have been guilty of it myself. It's still wrong. Based on my experience I should definitely know better.
Or maybe it was based on that the fact that blacks had been breaking and entering in that area so much so that a neighborhood watch was formed .
This happened right before the shooting:
Quote:
On February 6, workers witnessed two young black men lingering in the yard of a Twin Lakes resident around the same time her home was burglarized. A new laptop and some gold jewelry were stolen. The next day police discovered the stolen laptop in the backpack of a young black man, which led to his arrest. Zimmerman identified this young man as the same person he had spotted peering into windows on February 2
That could very well be why Trayvon was profiled.
