Wait, what the hell is he talking about?

Initiatives such as New York City’s controversial stop-and-frisk program inspire others to racially profile suspects and take the law into their own hands, NAACP President Benjamin Jealous said Monday.
In an interview on MSNBC, Mr. Jealous specifically blamed New York City Police Commissioner Ray Kelly for incidents such as the February 2012 shooting death of Trayvon Martin in Florida.
Last month, George Zimmerman was acquitted of all charges in connection with Martin’s death, but Mr. Jealous argues that the incident could have been avoided entirely.
“The really sad thing is that [Commissioner Kelly] doesn’t understand how people like him inspire people like George Zimmerman,” Mr. Jealous said. “He really sets a light, if you will, that they gravitate toward. He is responsible for leading the NYPD, but he’s also a role model for all the wannabes and would-bes out there. He’s got to take responsibility for that. He’s running the largest racial profiling program in the country.”
