“”While I in no way can justify the rioting and looting and there’s plenty of conflicting reports of what happened in that shooting, they do have the point about police militarization.””

This very well could have been a legitimate shoot.

I don’t dispute that it couldn’t have been a legitimate shot in the least.
My objection is to the heavy handed tactics in non-confrontational situations, where some SWAT team busts down someone’s door without a warrant.
I believe that George Zimmerman was justified in his use of force.
The problem is, no matter how justified, if it’s non-black on black, it’s a powder keg.
Of course, blacks to not see their own hypocrisy in not responding strongly when BLACKS gun down other blacks. They just take it in stride and there’s no rioting and looting them. They accept from their own what they deem unacceptable from others.
It’s a real indictment of their own culture and how they are trapped in the racist mindset themselves and how completely unaware they are of it.
