Trayvon Martin protesters visit Pa. mayor's home

PITTSBURGH?A group protesting neighborhood watch guard George Zimmerman's acquittal in the killing of Trayvon Martin have slept outside the Pittsburgh mayor's office and posted signs at his home asking the city to investigate its treatment of black residents.

Mayor Ravenstahl has issued a statement saying he has "heard and read" the protesters'" concerns, but says they don't have the right to come onto private property and "frighten people's young children"?an apparent reference to his 4-year-old son, Cooper.

The group Pittsburgh For Trayvon has also issued 14 demands to improve city conditions for blacks to city council.

Police have stepped up patrols around Ravenstahl's home, but public safety director Michael Huss says the protesters outside the mayor's office have been peaceful.
