Zimmerman verdict doesn’t set off Kansas City troubles

  • Chief Forte didn’t have to deal with any post-verdict trouble this weekend

Authorities in Kansas City said the city emerged from the weekend unscathed. No rioting followed the shaky moments after a Florida jury turned away murder and manslaughter charges against George Zimmerman.

Kansas City Police Department Chief Darryl Forte said on Twitter Sunday that the police department had received no calls for service Saturday night after the jury returned its verdict.

“Calm in KC as well as in other cities,” Forte tweeted. “The community support is appreciated!”
