The only thing suspicious about Martin according to Zimmerman was that he was black unless you really believe simply walking slowly and looking around is somehow inherently criminally suspicious. actually in an area with a recent history of breakins yeahh it is twice I had occasion to speak with officers under similar circumstances once in highschool myself and three others were riding around looking for a girls house in a neighborhood we were unfamiliar with, and an officer pulled us over and asked this and that etc etc etc then told us there had been some recent break ins and us LOOKING AROUND looked like we were casing homes a second time early in my plumbing career I went to a mans house and he wasn't home yet so I decided to wait for him to get home and while I waited I went to the back of the van to clean things up a bit while I waited. all of a sudden there was a banging on my van and an officer wanted to know what I was doing, BECAUSE, there had been some break ins in the area and my van just BEING THERE was suspicios sooo YEAH after dark, person fitting the description of people who had done previous breakins, in the rain, looking around, in an area with a recent history of break ins, ABSOLUTLEY enough to raise suspicion regardless of race! we'll also note, the 911 operator did not say, nothing suspiscios about a guy walking around in the dark in the area, they seemed to think it was suspiscious enough to send a car to check out does anyone know the amount of time that passed between the shot being fired and the arrival of the 1st car? in other words was there a car already en route when the shot was fired, or was a car disapatched only AFTER, another call came in reporting shots fired? not that I think its actual evicence in the case/trial, but for arguments sake if it was within seconds, meaning they were already enroute it does mean the police took it seriously enough to send a car ASAP rather than treating it as a nusance call I remember calling the police one time when a car hit my van and told them he is still sitting there, tried to run but his car stalled and he is trying to get it started again, if you hurry you'll catch him, anddd they didn't show up for like 1/2 an hour! "There have been some break ins in the neighborhood" is the oldest trick in the book when an officer just wants to pull someone over and fuck with them. It's been pulled on me as well. Where did I learn that? While teaching advanced hand to hand to some of the SWAT guys, they told me. soo are you contending that Z's motive was to "shake the guy down"?? not trying to be smart here, and I am SURE you are 100% correct, but how does that apply to this instance also, why would an officer single someone out using that "excuse" if he didn't suspect something to start with... are you saying they just get bored and "shake down" random people? and lets not forget, that while that may be an excuse used by cops frequently in this case it happen to be TRUE!
