For one thing, Zimmerman is NOT a poliece officer, another thing, this was a STATE CASE, NOT a federal case and the NAACP forgets that.
I stand by my position.
Please see post number 82. Thank-you.
“For one thing, Zimmerman is NOT a poliece officer, another thing, this was a STATE CASE, NOT a federal case and the NAACP forgets that.”
I fully agree with your comparison of the two and how the circumstances are NOT at all similar. NO civil rights violations occurred - except in the mind of those grasping at straws. However, with the current POTUS and AG...sense doesn’t rule the day...the politics of emotion does. Also, civil rights cases are “federal.” So, even if it is another trumped up charge, there is nothing to keep the AG (directed by the POTUS) from pursuing this IF he thinks it will win him political points. (I certainly hope your prediction is 100% right though...I have just seen too many bad things done by the current administration).
We can be certain that the “Race-baiters” and the “Anti-gun lobby” are going to milk this case ad nauseam.
