It wasn't the police who tried to put GZ into jail.
They didn't want to, because they didn't see that he had committed a crime.
It was liberal politicians, racist pressure groups, and the media that wanted to jail GZ.
You are mistaken.
Lead Detective Chris Serino filed an affidavit with Sanford prosecutors recommending a Manslaughter charge.
The Prosecutors declined to charge Zimmerman.
NOT the Police Department.
