No, not because they are white. Because they have already proven that they are either the most incompetent police force since Barney Fife pinned on a badge or else they are the deliberately dishonest by covering up for a murderer.
Zimmerman is now an afterthought in my mind.
If the cops let him walk ---Someone will get him
If he goes to Jail--- Someone will get him
My main focus now is the coverup from the responding cops all the way up to the States Attorney. This is now my concern. Allowing them to cover this up in this manner sets precedence and allows for this to happen again and again. Clearly SYG does not apply to Zimmerman but they are WILLFULLY IGNORING EVIDENCE to cover for Zimmerman....
I want all Law Enforcement involved heads on a stick!!!!
According to Zimmerman he had lost Trayvon was walking back to his truck when Trayvon jumped him from behind. The wound to the back of his head as described in the police report lends credance to his story.
As far as I know Americans are not compelled to follow the directions of a lowly paid 911 dispatcher.
He had been sucessful in assisting the police apprehend other criminals who were preying on the community, most of whom were wait for it.....Black.
What you think every case is an OJ trial? My guess is his injuries led them to believe that Zimmerman's story was plausible. In hindsight they probably should have done a more thorough job though.
It was read the report.
I need a link for that. Haven't heard that one.
Maybe they didn't feel like it. I don't know. Is this standard police operating procedure?
You've already asked this question in the same post see above for response.
Yes because you don't want the criminal to get away. The police will take anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes to arrive more than enough time for a thug to make their escape. Although following from a distance if one chooses to follow is advisable.
I don't know but I suspect it protects someone who is in the process of being pummelled in the face while someone is on top of them.
Was he convicted?
Doesn't make sense to you, it makes sense to me. Either way thankfully we have a constitution and professionals who are well versed in the law who can work to make an appropriate determination of facts.
Too bad that the police department has none of the forensic eveidence to offer up to the "professionals" to make the "determination" easier to get to. You don't seem to find that a bit odd...do you?
That's a fair response perhaps. Or you could just take the beating. You could man-up and fight back. Plenty of peole have survived a butt whipping without resorting to deadly force. However, if you created the situation that caused the attack to occur, lawyer up and be ready to post a manslaughter defense.
And enjoy your impending and ensuing time in the pokey........
Well, from all I have read.....this is really looking like self-defense on Zimmerman's part.
The tv, radio and much of the internet is reporting half-truths and outright lies.....pushing an agenda.
I think that they are going to send Zimmerman away even if it is unjustified according to law and the facts. The Government needs to do so...........or..............well, another LA RIOTS is a very real possibility.
yeah.......them skittles sure are dangerous - if you're a diabetic - which, from the looks of him, Zimmerman certainly could have been.

If a dude is on top of you pounding your face and head into the sidewalk.....would you say something like...
"Hey, man up, the dude had a bag of SKITTLES in his pocket"
Nobody has yet to answer why the candy is significant in this story. It's being used as a bludgeon. Just like the constant posting of the dudes grammar school pictures.
Why, because they're white, what if they were all black, would you believe them then?
I think others have answered the first question already (thanks LML and Evanstar). To answer your second question, if they were black and did the same thing, I would not believe them. If everything here was reversed and the person killed were white and the police department were mostly black and had a history if issues with whites, would you believe them?
I think the Beer Summit sums up why Obama won't weigh in on the Martin case.
As much as I dislike the President, i'm 100% convinced that he's personally embarrassed for his actions involving the black professor and white police officer, including the initial comment as well as the public beer party he had in the back yard of the White House. I'd bet a million dollars that he himself winces when he thinks back to that rookie mistake and how he handled it.
He's staying away from the Martin case. That's my take on it.
already proven that they are either the most incompetent police
force since Barney Fife pinned on a badge or else they are the deliberately dishonest by covering up for a murderer.
