George Zimmerman is public-safety threat, Lake Mary police chief suggests

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)

The guy’s just begging to have Al Sharpton and Jesse Jagmo come set up shop on his courthouse lawn, huh?

If she started telling them that he tortured puppies and beat her with an umbrella, they’d print it as fact. They want him BAD and they’re going to work like the devil to get him.

George Zimmerman may be a threat to public safety.

One way or another Obama will get the result he wanted regardless of that which was found by the court responsible.

More and More this really does look like a Chicago mob event and not America as most of us know it to be.

The state of Florida still has the weapon he shot Master Trayvon with and are handing it off to Eric Holder.

Obama wants it as a souvenir of his era as the first black king of America....

There’s no better example why they’re referred to as the “enemedia” than that hit piece.

I don’t know who this chief pussy Bracknell is. Lake Mary used to have a good chief with Richard Beary.

I think otherwise.

That gun is either evidence in an ongoing case or it must be returned to its owner.

That FloriDUH turned it over to Fedzilla suggests the ginning up of a “case” against Zimmerman by Obama/Holder.

Or, it may just be theft - something Obamoids do well.
