A partially-redacted police report detailing the initial investigation in the Feb. 26 shooting death of Trayvon Martin has surfaced.
Reuters reporter Matthew Keys first posted scanned copies of the report to his Twitter account. As the Chicago Tribune noted, the report contains details that conflict with several rumors surrounding the case.
The report states that George Zimmerman's gun "was placed into evidence" and not returned to him, and the scene of the shooting was secured with crime scene tape. This directly conflicts with statements made by civil rights activists, including Rev. Jesse Jackson, who had claimed the Sanford, Fla., police department "didn't even bother to put yellow tape around the murder scene when he died--that's how much the police did to find out what happened to this young boy."
After officers discovered Martin's body, the report states, they unsuccessfully attempted to revive him.
According to the report, Sanford police spent more than seven hours at the scene. They interviewed six witnesses, whose names were redacted from the report. The partial report contains information from the first two officers to arrive at the scene.
The first to arrive was officer Timothy Smith. From Smith's report:
"While I was in such close contact with Zimmerman, I could observe that his back appeared to be wet and was covered in grass, as if he had been laying on his back on the ground. Zimmerman was also bleeding from the nose and back of his head."

“police report detailing the initial investigation in the Feb. 26 shooting death of Trayvon Martin has surfaced.

so yahoo! news doesn’t know what’s going on until they read it on Twitter? Didn’t this police report “surface” last week when the Sanford police released it?
“The scene was then secured with crime scene tape by Ofc. Mead and Ofc. Wagner. Ofc. Robertson began a crime scene contamination log. Lt. Taylor arrived on scene and notified dispatch to have Major Crimes responds to the scene.”
It’s been out for awhile.
Facts are not going to slow down a lynch mob.
Notice the sign with Trayvon’s picture which states Justice Rally - TM
Trade marked? Did his family trademark everything? Just unbelievable!
“Sanford police spent more than seven hours at the scene”
_________________________________________________________
One of the reports was signed off at 3am-ish, I believe. Trayvon’s father was supposed to have come home at 11pm and he didn’t notice all this...
I saw some other news organ pull out the police report yesterday, and make the impression that the report had just now surfaced. All to legitimize the false "there is no evidence of injury" impression they created with Crump's help, the grainy video, etc.
Yes, it has—and they’re acting like this is “new.” It’s been available all along from the Sanford city site, in pdf format.
This entire case has turned into a modern day Ox-Bow incident.
I’m sure with the cast of losers associated with this that the outcome will be exactly the same as the movie. Except in the movie the lynch mob were held accountable for their murderous ways. In real life that won’t be the case.
They are burning the Reichstag and blaming it on Zimmerman.
Not "all along." The police released some 911 recording under pressure from Crump. That was on March 17. I am guessing that the initial report was made public in the same time frame.
People like Sharpton, Jackson and those in the corrupt MSM who intentionally bear false witness will have much to pay for. And there will be payment required... in this life or the next.
Dick Gregory was on Imus Mar. 27th and he asked how could Trayvon be killed 70 yards from his house and then be in the morgue for 3 days, listed as a missing person.
Imus only corrected the distance to 700 yards but didn’t mention that the father identified a photo of his dead son the next day when police came to his home.
Dick Gregory also speculated that all the driveby shootings were really planned to steal the organs of young black people.
And now the NBPP knows he does not have his weapon. Nice.
"While I was in such close contact with Zimmerman, I could observe that his back appeared to be wet and was covered in grass, as if he had been laying on his back on the ground. Zimmerman was also bleeding from the nose and back of his head."
"Zimmerman was placed in the rear of my police vehicle and was given first aid by the SFD. While the SF was attending to Zimmerman, I overheard him state, 'I was yelling for someone to help me, but no one would help me.' At no point did I question Zimmerman about the incident that had taken place."
I thought 2 sound experts (hired by the MSM) had confirmed that Zimmerman was on his back getting his ass kicked while Martin was yealling for help?
The media silence on the NBPP has been deafening.
70 yards is much closer to the truth, than 700. He was less than 100 yards from home - and he was walking AWAY from home in order to confront Zimmerman.
On the other point, I think Tracy was taken to his son's body on the 27th.
“This directly conflicts with statements made by civil rights activists, including Rev. Jesse Jackson, who had claimed the Sanford, Fla., police department “didn’t even bother to put yellow tape around the murder scene when he died—that’s how much the police did to find out what happened to this young boy.”
LIARS!!!!!!-—Just like their LIAR in chief.
note how long the headline is.
This keeps the headline too short in exerpts. This way the MSM can keep search engins from referencing zimmerman might have been correct all along.
I do know the race baiters will be looking to hunt down the witnesses.
