Police surveillance video of Zimmerman at the station

[Lulu]

There's no blood anywhere. Police usually don't clean someone up before they bring them to the station either. I was buying into the story that Trayvon beat him severely but Zimmerman does not look like he was hurt at all. This would explain why he went to the hospital the next day and not that night... cya rather than a real health reason. And Zimmerman certainly doesn't appear like he's the head of neighborhood security - no uniform, no nothing to signal he might have a reason to follow and confront someone.

Uniform? Do you know what neighborhood watch is?

[jwreck]

If he wasn't arrested why is he in handcuffs being lead through the police station?

[Lulu]

I'm saying he appears to possibly be a common thug (Zimmerman). I wouldn't think he has any position of authority if he approached me asking what I was doing. Neighborhood watch is supposed to watch the neighborhood and call the police if there's anything suspicious... not run around the neighborhood with a gun.

How about the no blood/bruise thing when we've heard he had his head bashed on the sidewalk and his nose was broken and he was in fear for his life?

Simpl;e, I DON"T FUCKING KNOW! Why is that so hard for you people to admit? And yes, cops will clean your bloody ass up before they put you in their police car. I help them do it all the time. I would say that they lack of blood points to the fact that they did clean him up, because if nothing else, he would have Trayvon's blood all over him. But again, that's just speculation.

[Lulu]

Weird that the guy who was in fear for his life and claimed one of them was going to die doesn't even have a grass stain on the back of his bald head. Just saying.

[jwreck]

Weird that people are saying he wasn't arrested, when he clearly was.

Maybe they mean booked on charges, not just arrested.

Then they should say that. Funny how you are so confident in one side's story to the point of forgiving them for what they meant to say and so condemning of the other. Why are you so emotionally attached to this case?

[jwreck]

I will say that his nose most certainly does not appear to be broken.

In most people's heads, arrest usually means charged with a crime as well. It technically isn't but I get that is what people mean.

As far as the other question, I'm not necessarily emotionally attached but I don't like what I perceive to be injustice. Others of you may want to slot this case into race baiting, gun control etc. but in the end the Sanford police seem to have screwed up here.

If you watched your own video and read what was written under the video you would have known that... and I quote in part '....after medical attention it was decided that he was in good enough condition to travel in a police cruiser'.

So I suspect the medical person who attended him clean him up before being transported.

Please stop being so naive.

How could you tell in that video? There was no close up of his face.

To be honest I an't with complete certainty, but generally if someone has a broken nose bothe their eyes will be black and their nose will be ginormous. This is not 100% and as you said the video is pretty low res.

I think so far it has to do with a Florida law, lack of evidence at this time, eye witnesses, and his story was backed up by his medical condition. If something else comes to light to find him lying I am sure he will be arrested or at least brought in for further questioning.

But lets not jump to conclusions as you and others seem to be doing and let the legal system work.

[jwreck]

Just before the video ends you get a decent look at his face. Also, when he's in the garage you can see the back of his head pretty well and it looks like there's a laceration to me. Again though, the video is pretty grainy and unclear, just like everything else in this case.

With all the time that has gone by it will be his word, the medic who attended him before he was transported to the police station, if he went to the hospital the next day, as reported. the doctor who saw him there and the police who will have to confirm his condition because by now he will be healed up is my guess.

I don't like injustice either, not even against white-latino racists (whatever the fuck that is).

And also the police officer was looking at the back of his head.
