Protests are raging on in Los Angeles as George Zimmerman is freed after a not-guilty verdict in his murder trial.

On the third night of rioting, a Walmart store was raided in the Crenshaw area, Chicago Tribune informed.

Los Angeles Police Department responded with a SWAT team and a tactical alert was given out at roughly 9 p.m.

80 to 150 people participated in protests in Crenshaw, breaking windows on cars, homes and local businesses and stamping on cars.

"We want to support everyone's 1st Amendment right to protest, but we also want to ensure public safety and not allow people to commit violent acts," Cmdr. Andy Smith stated.

As I have documented, a juror in the Zimmerman trial has revealed that only three members of the jury intended to acquit him when deliberations started.
