Truth on Earth (TOE) is a social action rock group writing and performing songs about world issues that need attention and sustainable solutions. TOE gives half of its profits to create awareness for the problems and causes the band supports. "Don't Tread On 'Trayvon Martin' " proposes a simple yet important question in America, that is - Where are we as a society in 2012? In TOE's view, the events of Trayvon's death have left his family, friends, all African Americans and every other freethinking person of every race to ponder whether or not the "Stand Your Ground" law is a vehicle for allowing bigotry to be used to permit murder. In essence, would Trayvon's killer be in jail to await the courts decision on the matter if the killer was a minority of color and the victim was a white person? TOE believes justice is not served here in the Trayvon killing based solely on how extremely biased our current American Legal Justice System already is against African American young men and how Zimmerman's story just does not check out on any rational level. People with all different agendas want to debate this subject like crazy and in America we can however the facts are undeniable. If this were a Black Suspect and a White Victim, the Suspect would most likely be in Jail right now waiting for the court to decide whether or not he were allowed to commit this act legally and whether he acted in self defense. TOE bases its entire opinion, song and video on the fact that Zimmerman has <b>...</b>

As the nightmare continues for Trayvon Martin's family, the Sanford Police Department continues to investigate his death and addressed the media Monday. "I'm hoping that one day, one day he's gonna walk through the door and this is going to be a nightmare," said the victim's mother, Sabrina Fulton. Tracy Martin and Sabrina Fulton want answers for their son's death. On Feb. 26, 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was shot and killed by a neighborhood crime watch captain in Sanford, Florida, while on a trip to visit his father. According to the report, Trayvon walked from the gated townhouse community where they were staying that night to get snacks at a nearby convenience store for his step-brother. Twenty-eight-year-old George Zimmerman, the watch captain, called police and reported someone suspicious. Dispatchers told Zimmerman not to confront the person and wait for police, but police said Zimmerman ignored the order and shot Trayvon once in the chest. The teen had $22, an iced tea and Skittles in his possession, no weapons. Sanford Police Chief Bill Lee said they are conducting a fair investigation. "I can assure you that the Sanford Police Department is conducting a fair investigation, no matter what the color of anyone involved," said Lee. Zimmerman has a concealed weapons permit, but neighbors wonder why he was armed on his rounds <b>...</b>

1.47 min. | 3.7 user rating		 ABC News has uncovered questionable police conduct in the investigation of the fatal shooting of an unarmed black teenager by a white neighborhood watch captain in Florida, including the alleged "correction" of at least one eyewitness' account. Sanford Police Chief Billy Lee said there is no evidence to dispute self-appointed neighborhood watch captain George Zimmerman's assertion that he shot 17-year-old Trayvon Martin out of self-defense. "Until we can establish probable cause to dispute that, we don't have the grounds to arrest him," Lee said. Martin had been staying at his father's girlfriend's house during the night of the NBA All-Star game Feb. 26. The teenager went out to get some Skittles and a can of ice tea. On his way back into the gated suburban Orlando community, Martin, wearing a hood, was spotted by Zimmerman, 28. According to law enforcement sources who heard Zimmerman's call to a non-emergency police number, he told a dispatcher "these a..holes always get away." Zimmerman described Martin as suspicious because he was wearing a hooded sweatshirt and walking slowly in the rain, police later told residents at a town hall. A dispatcher told him to wait for a police cruiser, and not leave his vehicle. But about a minute later, Zimmerman left his car wearing a red sweatshirt and pursued Martin on foot between two rows of townhouses, about 70 yards from where the teen was going. Lee said Zimmerman's pursuit of Martin did not of itself constitute a crime <b>...</b>
