No Officer Wilson rap, but how about Zimmerman?

A federal grand jury met today in Orlando to hear testimony about whether George Zimmerman violated Trayvon Martin’s civil rights when he shot and killed the 17-year-old nearly three years ago in Sanford, Florida.

The timing here is, to say the least, suspicious. A day after an Oct. 30 Orlando Sentinel article first reported the impending session, the Washington Post conceded that “Justice Department investigators have all but concluded they do not have a strong enough case to bring civil rights charges against Darren Wilson.”

To charge Wilson gratuitously would enrage the nation’s police. The luckless Zimmerman has no such support group. One need not be a cynic to see how his arrest on federal charges might pacify the media-stoked rage of the Obama constituency.

Wilson, of course, is the white police officer who shot and killed the otherwise unarmed 6-foot-4, 300-pound Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, in August of this year.

For weeks, federal investigators have been leaking to both the Post and the New York Times details that confirm Wilson’s account of the shooting.

An Oct. 17 Times story not only recounted Wilson’s version of events inside the officer’s vehicle but also squared it up with the forensic evidence....

This whole event seems choreographed, including the no-shows. How could someone get away with not showing up for such a (formerly) huge case? I hope Zim stays safe and below the radar. I haven’t seen where George is still creating and selling his artwork, so I don’t know how he’s existing except through the literal kindness of online strangers.
One day, the whole story will come out, how he survived this.

So does the no show kill it?

I thought one must be ‘under the color of authority’ to impede another’s civil rights. Like police, judge, employer, municipality, etc.
