This is so frustrating. When making a statement of “supposed facts” the first thing you need to do is read the official police report.

Per the released police report;

The first officer arrived at the scene at 1917 hrs, (7:17 PM), 26 Feb, 2012. Zimmerman was approached by the officer, relayed to the officer that he was the person that called 911, had shot Martin and was still armed. He was disarmed by the officer, cuffed and placed in the back of the patrol vehicle. The officer noted that Zimmerman had injuries to his nose, (bleeding), and the back of his head and that his back was wet and had grass on it.

When paramedics arrived they relieved the two other responding officers of the CPR duties and eventually pronounced Martin deceased, (1930 hrs).

Zimmerman was treated for his wounds in the back of the patrol vehicle and during that period of time he made a voluntary, unsolicited statement that “I was yelling for someone to help me, but no one would help me”.

The officer stated that he later transported Zimmerman to the police station and he was interviewed in the interrogation room by a member of Investigations, (the name of the investigator is stated in the report, but not the division/section he is from).

All the misinformation out there, including this article are pure speculation or purposely made up/slanted.

Until the full investigation is complete, no one knows the truth, but the police report is, at this time, the best unbiased recitation of the facts in the public domain.

I implore everyone to stick to known facts and don’t speculate. There is enough B.S. out there on this case already.
