NOTE TO BROADCAST EDITORS:
This program contains uncensored NEWS ACTUALITIES, in the form of official 911 emergency calls related to the killing of Trayvon Martin by George Zimmerman.
Zimmerman's statements in the official 911 recording (and the "coon" pejorative in a subsequent program commentary) include his apparent expletives and pejoratives:
"These assholes always get away," "Aw, crap," "Shit! He's running," and "Fucking 'coons'."
These unredacted actualities are included in the program because of their salience for the coverage of breaking news events.
Feel free to edit as locally deemed necessary.
