The Florida police chief investigating the death of Trayvon Martin, the
unarmed black teenager fatally shot by a self-appointed neighbourhood
watch volunteer, is facing calls by civil rights leaders for his
resignation.
.
Police chief Bill Lee, of Sanford police, has insisted he carried out a
"fair and thorough" investigation of the killing and that he cannot arrest
George Zimmerman because he has told police he shot the teenager in
self-defence and there was no evidence to contradict his account.
.
Criticism of the police investigation is focused on the failure to arrest
Zimmerman, but also on the failure to test him for drugs or alcohol, a
common practice in homicide investigations, in particular because they
tested the teenager after his death.
.
Police are also facing questions over their failure to reach Martin's
girlfriend in Miami, who was talking to him on his cellphone as he was
being followed by Zimmerman in the minutes before his death. She said his
last words were "What are you following me for?"
.
Martin's family say the girlfriend's testimony of the call undermines
Zimmerman's self-defence claims. There have also been reports that police
"corrected" witnesses who say they heard the boy screaming for help.
.
This week, police admitted to ABC News they may have missed a potential
racial slur on the tape of Zimmerman's 911 call to report Martin's
"suspicious behaviour".
.
Ben Jealous, president of the National Association for the Advancement of
Colored People told Miami television channel NBC6 that federal authorities
should take over Lee's department because of a "pattern and practice of
discrimination" which include cases that precede Martin.
.
At a highly-charged town hall meeting at Allen Chapel AME Church in
Sanford on Tuesday night, Jealous told the 350-strong crowd: "Any chief
who would so allow his officers to so mishandle a situation like this has
to go. We will ensure that there is a new chief here in Sanford."
.
Hundreds more gathered outside, chanting "I am Trayvon Martin."
.
The calls for Lee's resignation came as Florida governor Rick Scott, who
attended a meeting with black lawyers and civil rights activists on
Tuesday night, said it was time to revisit the state's controversial
"Stand Your Ground" law. This allows people to use deadly force if they
feel endangered, without requiring them to retreat from the threat.
