Editor, Times-Union: The attacks on Trayvon’s reputation in the media are disgraceful, and disrespectful to his memory and his mourning family.
These attacks reflect the same kind of racial profiling and stereotyping that led to his death and then protected his killer from investigation and arrest.
Trayvon’s killer, George Zimmerman, still hasn’t been arrested. The focus of the media and our public officials should be on getting justice for Trayvon and addressing the dangers of racial profiling in our society.
