What if Zimmerman had been an undercover agent or an off duty policeman ? What do cops do to you when you punch them in the face, and start going MMA on them?


You would be surprised to find out how many undercover cops like uniformed back up just to avoid the kind of thing you describe.

But even so, you miss the point entirely.

Cops have badges. They clearly state that they are the police. In the majority of cases that defuses the situation because the person being approached by the cop does not expect to be robbed, mugged or murdered.

It is easier to stay out of trouble than it is to get out of trouble.

Zimmerman and Wendy are prime examples of that. The unfortunate thing about her is that hers was not premeditated but was a situation where she blew off steam because she was excited, agitated and fearful for her dog.

A terrible shame, but still an example of what can happen when you push it with bad people.

Well... we will see.

Well... not in FLORIDA.

Outrage as police shoot and kill the wrong man in hunt for attempted murder suspect....

"An innocent man was shot dead by police after deputies mistook him for an attempted murder suspect. Lake County, Florida officers showed up at the Blueberry Hill apartment of Andrew Scott at around 1.30am on Sunday Roused from his bed in the middle of the night by an unknown presence at his property, Andrew Scott answered the door holding a gun. Officers had not announced who they were because they did not want the man they thought was inside, Jonathan Brown, to escape."

Now... what were you saying ?

So... Martin should have stayed home once he got there and called the POLICE, instead of going back out and sneaking up on Zimmerman ?

Correct?
