Now it appears that Trayvon did make a 911 call. Is it possible that the Sanford Police Dept did not report this and the internet was wiped clean of any suggestion of this? Well now the FBI has now entered the case:

Trayvon Martin made his own 911 call before his death; FBI investigates
Isabelle Zehnder / Examiner / March 26, 2012
SANFORD, Florida (Isabelle Zehnder reporting) -- Chicago's ABC News 7 reports Monday that Trayvon Martin, the Florida teen who was shot and killed by a neighborhood watch volunteer, made his own call to 911 just moments before his death.
ABC News 7 reports the FBI is attempting to determine if 17-year-old Trayvon Martin's 911 call captured his killer, 28-year-old George Zimmerman's voice in the background, and if the audio can be enhanced to more clearly hear what was said.
Rally in Chicago
Monday marked the one-month mark of Trayvon's shooting death, leading to rallies and protests across the nation. Among those protesting were over 200 people of different ages and different life experiences who marched peacefully with a police escort from Chicago's Millennium Park through the loop and back again. Some were students, some were veterans of the civil rights movement.
Their bond is their outrage over the death of Trayvon Martin, said ABC News 7's Paul Meincke.
Many marchers carried Arizona iced tea and Skittles, the same things Trayvon was carrying the night he was killed.
Meincke said that among marchers was anger about the investigation that followed the shooting. Many, including Trayvon's family, believe Zimmerman should be arrested.
They demand the Justice Department digs deep into the shooting, the many who pulled the trigger, the actions of local law enforcement, and a Florida "Stand Your Ground" law that has stirred considerable controversy, Meincke said.
Zimmerman claims he acted in self-defense and has not yet been charged.
The Justice Department has opened a federal civil rights investigation that will run parallel to a county grand jury probe.
On February 26, 2012, Trayvon Martin, 17, was walking to his father's fiancée's home in a gated condominium community in Sanford, Florida. He was returning from a convenience store after purchasing an Arizona iced tea and Skittles. Zimmerman started following Trayvon and called 911 saying he looked suspicious.
During the call, Zimmerman admitted he was following Trayvon and the 911 dispatcher said, "OK, we don't need you to do that." It appears Zimmerman did not heed the dispatcher's suggestion and instead continued to pursue Trayvon.
Because Trayvon is black and Zimmerman is white/Hispanic, the case has become a racial flashpoint leading to a series of protests across the nation.

If the black boy was telling the white one for weeks that He would kill the white boy, than the decision would be altered. However, we don't know the what history (If any) there is. I don't think we have the information to make a decision!
