[US ZimmerMan Protest] Los Angelos set to start Jailing Protesters

A day after violent protests over the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the death of Trayvon Martin, city leaders and activists urged peace even as a leading civil rights activist said demonstrations will continue all summer – starting with vigils in 100 cities on Saturday.

“We don’t want anyone hurt. We don’t want any cars broken into, and we don’t want any damages to business,” Eddie Jones of the Los Angeles Civil Rights Association  told NBCLosAngeles.com.

L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti and LAPD Chief Charlie Beck called for calm in a Tuesday afternoon news conference after a second night of unrest in the city in which 14 people were arrested, most for failing to disperse after people clashed with police, attacked a news crew and threw rocks.

Beck said lawbreakers wouldn’t be tolerated. "You come here again tonight, you will go to jail," he said.

"We are calling on people to practice peace," Garcetti said, “to not let the dialogue sparked by Martin's death be silenced by any violence." mbcnews
