Police surveillance video of Zimmerman may show head injury (photo)
The Daily Caller ^ | 03/29/12 | Matt Boyle

Posted on 03/29/2012 6:08:47 AM PDT by nhwingut

Surveillance video of George Zimmerman arriving at a Sanford, Fla. police station indicates what may be an injury to the back of his head, a Daily Caller analysis shows.

ABC News published the video Wednesday evening. Zimmerman is the man who shot and killed 17-year-old black teen Trayvon Martin a month ago.

“A police surveillance video taken the night that Trayvon Martin was shot dead shows no blood or bruises on George Zimmerman,” ABC News reporter Matt Gutman wrote, noting that Zimmerman told police “he shot Martin after he was punched in the nose, knocked down and had his head slammed into the ground.”

So what?
Why is it important for the general public to know about the head injury at this time unless the court of public opinion somehow trumps the real judicial system?

This “news” item stems from the assumption that the public and the media must somehow “verify” what the police investigation shows.

I'm sure they'll say it's just an old raccoon injury.

Tray-von probably didn’t cause that.

I’m guessing it’s a scrape from that pointy yellow arrow.

And it has been nicely cleaned up by the EMTs. Too bad that ABC and the rest of the LSM decided to use this to try and show that Zimmerman was not injured

I’m always amused by television crime dramas showing “technical experts” zooming in and “enhancing” long view video and photographic stills, yet when you see real world video or photos, enhancing them seems to make the clarity worse.

There’s no doubt Zimmerman got beat up, and this garbage about him not being bloody on camera is a canard. EMS cleaned him up before he went “downtown” for questioning. Show me high-resolution photos of his face.

If I were Zimmerman I would want it “out there”. Might keep the President and other New Black Panther goons in check.

Might.

Probably not, but can’t hurt.

Anyway, I would definitely want it out there.

This is no longer just a criminal case. This is a war with Zimmerman the main target.

Now just an hour ago, George Stephanopolous and his sorry crew were going on and on about how there did not appear to be any injuries to Zimmerman in the police station videos. Had someone on saying, “this could change everything”. I personally think it is a sorry attempt by the MSM to redeem themselves after having gone overboard on the “cold blooded murderer” theme, now looking for any possible evidence to support that original theme.

This is a war with Zimmerman as the EXCUSE.

I agree that this needs, now, to be “out there” to keep the racists on the left in check,

but my point was that this shouldn’t even be in the court of public opinion, and it wouldn’t be, if it weren’t for power-seeking leftists.

Then how do you explain the plume of puffy black (is that racist?) smoke coming out of his head?

Hmmm?

Because since yesterday the MSM has been using this video to show that Zimmerman had no blood on his face or forehead indicating no injuries.

The MSM lies so much we need to verify what THEY say.

The Weather Channel this morning had a clip from MSNBC (warning sign right there) which turned out to be the ABC video. The announcer was very dishonest—made a big deal about the video not showing injuries but viewers didn’t get much of a chance to see the video, and he said that Zimmerman claimed that his head was pushed “against the ground”—giving a quite different impression than “against the sidewalk.” The whole tone was designed to make people think Zimmerman is a liar.

It’s important for the public to know because Trayvon’s mother says the video shows Zimmerman isn’t injured and therefore her son did not attack him, so that Zimmerman is clearly the aggressor and the police lied to protect the white Hispanic non-black Zimmerman.

It’s really important.

:: And it has been nicely cleaned up by the EMTs ::

From whom (EMTs) we can get a deposition of the extent of any wounds they tended at the scene (as was reported in the initial response report).

Of course not, he did it to himself. Just ask Maxine Waters.
