city manager admits pushing police chief to quit over Trayvon Martin case

           City Manager Norton Bonaparte Jr. acknowledges that he put pressure last week on Police Chief Bill Lee to step down over the Trayvon Martin case, though he stopped short of saying whether he threatened to fire Lee. Lee has been under fire since deciding not to make an arrest in the Feb. 26 shooting death of Trayvon Martin, an unarmed African American teenager, inside a gated community in Sanford. The shooting has set off a national discussion about race, and a controversial self-defense law in Florida.
The man should have been fired in the first place.
