LAKE MARY — Lake Mary police Chief Steve Bracknell hinted in a recent email exchange that he thinks George Zimmerman may be a threat to public safety.
That came in an exchange last week with a West Coast man who complained about how Bracknell's department had handled a domestic-violence dispute between Zimmerman and his estranged wife, Shellie, and her father.
Zimmerman was handcuffed Sept. 9 but later unshackled and never arrested after his father-in-law was punched in the nose and Shellie complained that her estranged husband was reaching inside his shirt for a gun.
Police found no gun, but a female companion in Zimmerman's truck told police there were guns in the vehicle for which they had concealed-weapons permits.
Zimmerman was known to carry a 9 mm semi-automatic pistol. That's the gun he used to kill Trayvon Martin, an unarmed black 17-year-old, during a fight in Sanford last year. A Seminole County jury acquitted him of second-degree murder in July.
The day after the confrontation, Bracknell traded email with a man, an exchange that was noteworthy for the police chief's remarks about his concerns over Zimmerman.
"REST ASSURED, the last thing on planet earth I want is ANY relationship with the Zimmermans. PERIOD," Bracknell wrote.
The man had complained that Bracknell's department had failed to arrest Zimmerman and had engaged in a cover-up.
His email, which had a number of grammatical errors, read in part: "… You had crimes committed by this man and did nothing ... your job is to protect the communities you serve and you are failing big time."(continued)

These daze many popos, especially the appointed chief types, seem to be a danger to the community.
Muggers are at risk.
Save the thugs!
Rene Stutzman seems to have left out a most important factor:
That's the gun he used to kill Trayvon Martin in self defense,
The police chief would do well to remember that too.
13,000 people live in Lake Mary... It’s as podunk as it gets...
The state of Florida still has the weapon he shot Master Trayvon with and are handing it off to Eric Holder.
Old news. Wonder why the Orlando Slantinel decided to publish it again now?
An email, full of grammar and spelling errors, originating from a person on the west coast is a news story? Our media is so horribly desperate. For clarification, do they mean the west coast as in Berkeley or the gulf coast of Florida, which I’ve never heard called the west coast?
Ahh...Another assault on constitutional rights by Eric-The-Red and the libs in FL.
I can’t believe a leading public official could be so foolish or crass as to admit to a bias like that. But, this is Obama’s America, isn’t it?

Good grief, the police chief should step down for being stupid enough to dialogue on the subject.
Why is the sentinel keeping this story alive?
FUOS!
Another Obama son in action.
Same exact thing: Sucker punched, smashes head into cement. The only difference is Jeffrey Babbit will never be tried for murder, nor receive 4000 death threats, nor have the POTUS say his attacker could have been his son, nor be called “A threat to public safety”. Why? Because he didn’t get the chance to defend himself.
Make no mistake: Trayvon Martin committed attempted murder. Only he failed thanks to the 2nd amendment.

Welcome to a defamation lawsuit crap for brains....
That’s amazing. A story, as recent as today, and they’re taking Shelly Zimmerman’s account as fact?
