A little over a year ago I was called a lot of things by a number of
people, some of them no longer speak to me... their lose and mine also.
I was asking them to please let the local police departments and the
courts do their jobs before trying George Zimmerman. I saw some of the
reports that were immediately withdrawn on the saintly child, Treyvon
Martin. (sarcasm, intentional, this time.)

Some deaths are more politically useful than others. (FROM THE
WORLD NEWS DAILY)
Twenty years ago this week, the Clinton administration ordered a
tank assault on the Mount Carmel community, killing 39 racial
minorities, 26 of them black. The Clintons and the media suppressed
the racial data so rigorously that I doubt even Al Sharpton knows
about the black dead at Waco.
A year ago Feb. 26, neighborhood watch captain George Zimmerman
shot and killed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Fla., and
within a month every sentient person on the planet knew “Trayvon”
by name.
What they did not know was Martin’s background. Sanford Police
Department (SPD) investigator Chris Serino, for instance, said
publicly of Martin, “This child has no criminal record whatsoever.”
He called Martin “a good kid, a mild-mannered kid.” The media
almost universally sustained this tragically false narrative.
Martin had the seeming good fortune of attending school in the
Miami-Dade School District, the fourth-largest district in the
country and one of the few with its own police department.
For a variety of reasons, none of them good, elements within the
SPD and the Miami-Dade School District Police Department, or M-DSPD,
conspired to keep Martin’s criminal history buried.
See Jack
Cashill’s stunning work, in “Deconstructing Obama,” “First
Strike,” “Hoodwinked,” “Officer’s Oath” and more.
As part of its mission the M-DSPD was allegedly trying to divert
offending students, especially black males, from the criminal justice
system. As the Martin death would prove, the M-DSPD diverted
offending students to nothing beyond its own statistical glory.
The exposure of M-DSPD practices began inadvertently on March 26,
2012, when the Miami Herald, the one mainstream outlet to do real
reporting on the case, ran a story on Martin’s background.
The Herald’s headline, “Multiple suspensions paint complicated
portrait of Trayvon Martin,” should have caused the other media to
seek the truth about the very nearly sanctified Martin.
It did not. What it did do was to cause M-DSPD Police Chief
Charles Hurley to launch a major Internal Affairs (IA) investigation
into the possible leak of this information to the Herald.
At the end of the day, Hurley rather wished he had not. The
detectives questioned told the truth about Martin and about the
policies that kept him out of the justice system. Hurley would be
demoted and forced out of the department within a year.
We now know what the detectives revealed thanks to a recently
fulfilled Freedom of Information Act request filed by the dogged
researchers at a blogging collective known as The
Conservative Treehouse. The “Treepers” have literally done
more good work on the Martin case than all the newsrooms in America
combined.
On Feb. 15, 2012, 11 days before Martin’s death, the Miami-Dade
County Public Schools put out a press release boasting of a 60
percent decline in school-based arrests, the largest decline by far
in the state.
“While our work is not completed, we are making tremendous
progress in moving toward a pure prevention model,” Hurley told the
Tampa Bay Times, “with enforcement as a last resort and an emphasis
on education.”
Hurley’s detectives, all of them veterans with excellent
records, told a different story under oath when questioned by
Internal Affairs. They knew the shell game was about to be exposed
upon first learning that Martin was one of their students and outside
agencies would be requesting his records.
“Oh, God, oh, my God, oh, God,” one major reportedly said when
first looking at Martin’s data. He realized that Martin had been
suspended twice already that school year for offenses that should
have gotten him arrested – once for getting caught with a burglary
tool and a dozen items of female jewelry, the second time for getting
caught with marijuana and a marijuana pipe.
In each case, the case file on Martin was fudged to make the crime
less serious than it was. As one detective told IA, the arrest
statistics coming out of Martin’s school, Michael Krop Senior, had
been “quite high,” and the detectives “needed to find some way
to lower the stats.” This directive allegedly came from Hurley.
“Chief Hurley, for the past year, has been telling his command
staff to lower the arrest rates,” confirmed another high-ranking
detective.
When asked by IA whether the M-DSPD was avoiding making arrests,
that detective replied, “What Chief Hurley said on the record is
that he commends the officer for using his discretion. What Chief
Hurley really meant is that he’s commended the officer for
falsifying a police report.”
The IA interrogators seemed stunned by what they were hearing.
They asked one female detective incredulously if she were actually
ordered to “falsify reports.” She answered, “Pretty much, yes.”
Once the top brass understood that the Martin case had the
potential to expose the reason for the department’s stunning drop
in crime, they told the detectives “to make sure they start writing
reports as is; don’t omit anything.”
“Oh, now, the chief wants us to write reports as is,” said a
Hispanic detective sarcastically, “and not omit anything, as we
have been advised in the past?”
The IA investigation delved into the paranoid concern that the
M-DSPD was sharing information about Martin with other relevant
police departments as it routinely did in other multi-jurisdictional
cases.
The one detective who sent information to the Sanford PD came
under heavy fire. He was appalled. “Currently, our department is
functioning and operating out of fear,” he told the IA. “It is
tragic to see that I’ve been disciplined at the direction of Chief
Hurley.”
As it turned out, Hurley need not have worried about the SPD. As
the Conservative Treehouse reports, the information sent by the
M-DSPD “disappeared down the rabbit hole and was not included in
the final victimology report filed by Sanford Detective Serino.”
Serino was the Martin-friendly detective who had insisted that
Martin “has no criminal record whatsoever,” calling him, “a
good kid, a mild-mannered kid.”
In Hurley’s defense, school districts across the country had
been feeling pressure from the nation’s race hustlers to think
twice before disciplining black students. Last year, the White House
formalized the pressure with an executive order warning school
districts to avoid “methods that result in disparate use of
disciplinary tools.”
Jesse Jackson brought this nonsense home to Sanford during a large
April 1, 2012, rally. He implied that Martin had been profiled by his
high school for being a black male and suspended for the same reason.
“We must stop suspending our children,” Jackson told the crowd.
In a way, Jackson was right. Martin should not have been
suspended. He should have been arrested on both occasions. Had he
been, his parents and his teachers would have known how desperately
far he had gone astray.
Instead, Martin was “diverted” into nothing useful. Just days
after his non-arrest, he was allowed to wander the streets of Sanford
high and alone looking, in Zimmerman’s immortal words, “like he’s
up to no good or he’s on drugs or something.”
At the end of the day, Martin had avoided becoming an arrest
statistic, only to become a statistic of a much graver kind.
