Now, you're completing the smear, and they were "drunks".

Brandon Fischer said that they were both making their way through a bottle of Crown Royal.

I think anyone who has experience with alcoholism would say that a person who thinks nothing of downing shots of hard alcohol when he knows he has to drive at night in a storm is what you call a "problem drinker."

Perhaps by "smear" you meant "logical inference."

Further:

The only place George Zimmerman could back up was into the sidewalk.

That's silly.

He could have run away, as so many commentators argued. But he had no obligation to.

The trooper was standing in water and literally could not see the ground in front of him.

Like George Zimmerman, he had absolutely no obligation to retreat.

If Nehemiah Fischer, drunk and belligerent, had attacked a civilian Good Samaritan who was trying to help him avoid drowning in a flood, and that civilian had decided to hold his ground, you would call it a 'good shoot."

You're arguing from unbelievably weak premises, based solely on your animosity toward law enforcement.

No, the police spokeshole said that Brandon Fischer said that they were both making their way through a bottle of Crown Royal.

There's a difference. See if you can figure it out.

No, once again, the POLICE SPOKESHOLE said that Brandon Fischer said that they were both making their way through a bottle of Crown Royal.

LOL!:

[Mike] Haesloop, who was Fischer’s high school basketball coach and his father’s tax preparer [said]: “I’ve known Nehemiah for years. Never known him to drink...

Now you're smearing the dead guy as an alcoholic and a "problem drinker".

As anyone who followed the Zimmerman-Martin case [as you apparently did not] could tell you, I was referring to the part where Martin jumped Zimmerman and had him on his back, beating his head on the pavement.

Officer "Ironman" Taylor had PLENTY of time to perceive what was happening, unlike Zimmerman, and could have retreated to safety, instead of leading with his chin and his magic aura.

The trooper was standing in water and literally could not see the ground in front of him.

Why did the video that the police spokeshole showed to the reporters show the troopers waiting for the brothers wading quickly through the water? Did you see a different video?

...he had absolutely no obligation to retreat.

As I posted before, this training is eventually going to cost a great many police lives. It's not "a duty", it's not even "a policy". It's just tactically stupid.

If Nehemiah Fischer, drunk and belligerent, had attacked a civilian Good Samaritan who was trying to help him avoid drowning in a flood, and that civilian had decided to hold his ground, you would call it a 'good shoot."

A "civilian" [what, are polices "military"? I thought they, too, were civilians...] Good Samaritan isn't going to be stupid enough to stand around badgering a couple of people in the water until he provokes them. Nor would he be stupid enough to lead with his chest, but would rather beat tracks for his vehicle at the first hint that his mouth got him in trouble.
