The whole thing is unfortunate and unnecessary. The saddest thing is that it's made into a racial issue as opposed to something we learn from and improve upon so that it does not happen again.

He was not wearing clothing that identified him as being a member of a neighborhood watch. The watch may or may not have identifying clothing...I have not heard this discussed...but even if they do Zimmerman was not on patrol...he was going to the grocery store...when he spotted Martin in the yard of a friends house that he had called the police about before.
In my case the patrol car was identified...and so were we...as being neighbor hood watch. The neighbor hood was also identified...via signs...that as being patrolled by a neighbor hood watch.
