CNN reports that Sanford police chief Bill Lee is stepping down “temporarily” while the federal probe into his police department’s corrupt cover up of Trayvon Martin case continues.
“I am aware that my role as a leader of this agency has become a distraction from the investigation,” he told reporters. “It is apparent that my involvement in this matter is overshadowing the process. Therefore, I have come to the decision that I must temporarily remove myself from the position.”
He added, “I do this in the hopes of restoring some semblance of calm to the city, which has been in turmoil for several weeks.”
NAACP President Ben Jealous said Lee’s stepping aside is not enough. “Parents don’t feel that their children will be safe with Lee heading the police department,” he said. “He needs to go right now.”
I hope he loses his job, period.
He should’ve been fired.
But I’ll take what I can get. Motherfucker 
Really all he has to do is put a killer behind bars. Sounds simple and fair to me.
FLUCK DIS PIG MAYNE!
Good but not good enough.
Guess those skittle packs got a lil damn frustrating damn azz! He should’ve been did dis shat!!
@sandrarose
You are right, “temporarily”. I think this is a decoy to show folks that justice is being served. I won’t be fooled. My eyes are on the prize. That Zimmerman fool is the target!!!!
Later he will magically have his job back….
Damn… Thats good
Still want dude to go to jail and be charged.
Chief Bill Lee can suck a dyck.

What he said

Does he not understand that they are partially to blame
1 semi-down…whole lotta other vile muthafuckas to go.

He and the Mayor WONT be back. They can thank George Zimmerman for hastening their demise. (Career wise)
I have to leave and haven’t read the other comments but all I can say is I hope Trayvon’s face will
you in your dreams every single night you bastid!
Whether he steps down or not people are still on their way down there to protest. Al Sharpton interviewed Sanford’s city manager who has the authority to fire the police chief what he was considering doing…he said he didn’t know…WHAT? Mind you, the city manager is a BLACK man…sometimes we can be our own worst enemy.
He will step down because he was told that that was the noble thing to do. When they feel like they have satisfied the people they will allow him to go back to his position because they will say that he did the right thing by letting the Feds take over. However, there is going to be too much pressure and too many threats for him so he will back down. There is no way that man will be comfortable in that city!
Ol dum ass idiot!!!!! I would sent that killer UNDER the jail before I’da lost my job.. smh

And then hop upon one and do a full split! Bish as puzzay….
This man will NOT be able to come back to his job, too much pressure is up against him aint no way he will survive working and living in the same city where he is wanted dead or alive..
Um where can me and my soon to be 17 year old son send our skittles?
The DA should be fired/resign as well. The decision to prosecute is also their responsibility and they did nothing.
is the mrderer still living in the same house?

The bastards got to arrest him first THEN we can start sending some “love” to the DA until he prosecute!
Dats yo ass Mr. Postman!!!
Smoke and Mirrors. The keyword here is temporarily…This is nothing more than a ploy…Im actually surprised to come here and see you reporting on this Sandra. I was going to post in the comments section for people who live in Losangeles. I knw you report stories like this all the time, but they usually make Black folks look bad in the process. Glad to see you attached to this one,,,Unless of course you’ve been blaming the victim or blaming Obama or some ish like that…Anyway someone at ktla told me there will indeed be a march today in support of Justice for Trayvon ending at Leimert Park around 5pm. Someone else told me it’s from 2-5pm…Doesnt sound well organized, but nonetheless I’ll be at Leimert Park today after 5. Hope to see some of my fellow Angelenos there

I agree. They need to start at the top and work there way down
the police chief stepped “aside” not “down” smh
He is worse than the vigilante! No regards for a childs life, but yet he’s a father. You don’t know a person’s pain until it comes your way…he better pray, he never faces this moment in his pathetic life. It appears the entire police department did their training at Walmart, no empathy at all!
How many tax payers dollars are going to the protection effort of George Zimmerman? I am sure his house is under police lock and key or he is staying in a nice ritzy hotel paid for by the Sanford Police…

He said TEMPORARILY!!! That translates into, Dear public, I am going to take a brief vacation until this dies down or until the danger of potential riots have gone away. I am a father too, and I need to do the fatherly thing and get my children out of here. I am a distractions, becasue my being here will not allow this to go away quick enough. So I am out of here until “THEY” calm down. I don’t want no shyt. Thank you. P.S. Please stop sending skittles to my home address.

I made a boo boo when I said Mayor. I meant to say chief. I came back to check it because I felt that I said the wrong thing. Damn job has really amped up the responsibilities. I’m truly stomping with the bid dogs so I gotta step my game up. Forcing me to surf the web at home and ish.
The police chief will loose his job… Too much pressure… They’re looking for a replacement now. The temporary thing is to keep some $$$ in his pocket trust me he is still on payroll! He had an attitude while speaking…just damn arrogant! EVERYBODY’S job is on the line because now the whole world is watching #justicefortrayvon
HIS NAME IS NOT BEN JEALOUS!!!
