NEW YORK, CMC - A Grenadian-born American legislator has joined a chorus of condemnation of a not guilty verdict by a Florida jury in the murder of an unarmed black teenager by a white neighbourhood watch volunteer. “The murder of Trayvon Martin is but the most recent example of profiling in America, a practice that is discriminatory at its best and deadly at its worst,” said New York City Councilman Jumaane Williams, who represents the largely Caribbean 45th Council District in Brooklyn, New York. “Our society must be re-examined at every level, from law enforcement to criminal justice to the basic way we relate to each other,” Williams, a vociferous critic of the New York Police Department’s “Stop and Frisk” tactics, told the Caribbean Media Corpoartion (CMC) on Monday.
