Good luck...if you are a scary black guy and totally innocent they will take you away. I am sure that whites fending off black hooligans is passable....and blacks fending off other blacks gets a pass...but a black man shooting a white man...that get's sketchy especially if the police force is primarily white....I would not stand my ground if I were you- make a dash for the back door and get the hell out of there.

She was standing her ground, she wanted him to leave her alone. If she would actually killed him she would have still be in jail

There isn't a "Mestizo" Hispanic option on those forms.

Only if they're armed with a pistol, and not skittles and tea.

Whose home did he rob?

And what does smoking weed have to do with anything?

Oh, he was robbing homes now, was he? Proof. Smoking pot doesn't make you a punk. Any other idiot things you'd like to post that I can refute?

But he said he's WHITE. If he wants to be WHITE, then he's WHITE

Please link to the evidence that he was doing any of those things when Zimmers "the aggressor", followed him, then got out of his vehicle armed and chased him?

Maybe that's how they do it in the ghettos, but in the real world that is called assault when you attack someone for no obvious reason.
