Again, I’m not saying that things didn’t happen the way they did. Keep in mind they have no witness for that time frame other then Zimmerman, who was let go at the scene. I know without a shadow of a doubt that Zimmerman was in the wrong in the way he handled the situation and I also know the kid was innocent of any wrong doing. He had a grown man throwing baseless accusations, then get out of his car and pursue him; he was scared. If I was Martin’s parents, I would damn sure want a more thorough investigation. As you would, if your (innocent) minor child was in the same predicament. No one (not you, I or the police) know what happened in that time frame or who attacked who first. The only witness is Zimmerman and a kid that is dead. While the racial tensions are being stoked like crazy, cases like this should NEVER be an open and shut as the police made it.
The police DID investigate it. They're prohibited by law from making an arrest on somebody that shot somebody in self defense. The police say the evidence they had was consistent with that determination of self defense. Since there isn't some magical time machine available to go back and make a video of what happened, what are you suggesting that the police should have done?
Why do you want to make things up? If you'd read the police report, you'd see that he was transported to the police department station. NOT released at the scene.
Not sure what time frame you're referring to, but Zimmerman was not let go from the scene. He was handcuffed and taken to the police station. His clothing and his weapon were taken into evidence, and are now in evidence.
-- No one (not you, I or the police) know what happened in that time frame or who attacked who first. The only witness is Zimmerman and a kid that is dead. --
We have Zimmerman on tape, and also have neighbors' recorded calls. There are also a reasonable set of inferences about behavior that can be drawn. Every single piece of evidence and inference points away from Zimmerman initiating a physical confrontation.
-- I also know the kid was innocent of any wrong doing. --
That statement contradicts your "No one (not you, I or the police) know what happened in that time frame or who attacked who first."
-- ... cases like this should NEVER be an open and shut as the police made it. --
The evidence speaks for itself. If the case is clear cut, it's clear cut. If it's not, it's not.
