Cops go door-to-door in Trayvon town
Cops are going door-to-door in an American city again, only this time at least they are knocking on doors instead of knocking them down.
The most recent example of a police-state presence is developing even now in Sanford, Fla., where neighborhood-watch participant George Zimmerman is on trial for murder for the death of teenager Trayvon Martin.
While the media has portrayed Zimmerman as white, he actually has a Hispanic heritage, and Martin was black.
Police say they fear the backlash from the community which could develop at the point the jury verdict is delivered. Los Angeles had days of rioting when the Rodney King verdict came down.
So Sanford Police Chief Cecile Smith confirmed officers are going door-to-door talking to people.
"Our worst fear is that we'd have people from outside the community coming in and stirring up … violence," he said.
Authorities are seeking help from local pastors in their campaign, too.
