That isn't proof, you are claiming his father influenced the judicial system. That isn't a minor accusation and the burden of proof is on you. Granted, it is possible, but there isn't any reason to believe the system was influenced.

I'm saying it is quite POSSIBLE his father influenced the judicial system. It is LIKELY that his father may have influenced the judicial system. And IF he did, it's highly unlikely those involved would admit to it as they would have been involved.

Having police friends over the years, they would take it very personal if someone assaulted them. I guess that police officer was having a "good deed moment" and decided to drop the charges.

Thanks Judge Judy.

What facts??? Would those be the "facts" that GZ presented and no one witnessed??

You are either being obtuse or purposely oppositional for the sake of being oppositinoal.

In 2005, Zimmerman, then 20, was arrested and charged with “resisting officer with violence” and “battery of law enforcement officer,” both which are third-degree felonies. The charge was reduced to “resisting officer without violence” and then waived when he entered an alcohol education program. Contemporaneous accounts indicate he shoved an officer who was questioning a friend for alleged underage drinking at an Orange County bar.

Why are you denying that it happened?

He's denying it because GZ wasn't convicted. If GZ wasn't convicted, apparently it didn't happen.

Because the court records only indicate an arrest and nothing more.

Evil on his mind, man.

Evil on his mind.

State of mind.

Righteous pursuit, man.

The pursuer and the pursued.

Who made the first move?

Seriously, you'd think some of these posters were THERE.

So...you have absolutely nothing aside from wild speculation-the exact same sort of speculation you were decrying just hours ago?
Duly noted.
