Today ~ Updated at 7:09 a.m. ET: Surveillance video footage of George Zimmerman being led from a police car shortly after he fatally shot teenager Trayvon Martin does not appear to show any injuries or bloodstains, but his attorney says the video is too grainy to be revealing.

The footage, obtained by ABC News on Wednesday, shows a handcuffed Zimmerman getting out of the police car unaided and walking into the police station where he was taken after the shooting in Sanford, Fla.


It was taken about four hours after the deadly incident.

Appearing on NBC's TODAY on Thursday, Zimmerman's attorney Craig Sonner described the video as "very grainy."

He also pointed out that Zimmerman had been "cleaned-up" and received first aid in the four hours between the incident and Zimmerman's videotaped arrival at the police station.

Its too bad he didn't let TM mangle his face and break his neck so that some of you would think it was justified at that point. What a stupid society, big deal if he fired before it got out of control, prove his nose isnt broke, and prove thats not a gash on his head. How far would you let someone kick your ass before you defended yourself?

 

That is a bad sign for Zimmerman. When your attorney's only defense is the video is too grainy no comment, it doesn't really speak volumes about said attorney's confidence in pulling this one out.

 

How far would you pursue a running civilian on public property to force an altercation, kill him, and then claim self defense?

 

LIES LIES LIES I say ... they're All LIES

 

This is someone who matches the description of someone known for breaking into houses in that very area correct?

 

where are the paramedics reports?

 

Do police handcuff suspects behind their back if they have a broken nose ?

 

Oh an d maybe the mods here at PF should start a Travon Martin forum, seems like this is going to be another day with at least 30 new threads on the subject

 

That's what LIBs do. IE nothing. They are genetically predisposed to run away from anything they feel threatened by. They simply do not understand the concept of standing one's ground. Question: Say you have a self identified LIB living in the house to the right of you and you have a self identified REP living on your other side. One night you see someone trying to break into your house and you only have time to call one of these neighbors. Which one would you call? CONGRATULATIONS! YOU GO IT IN ONE!

 

I will say yes. Is it like if you go blind your other senses get heightened awareness? Does the broken nose need the hands uncuffed to smell?

 

yes they do, once the bleeding has stopped there is no reason not to

 

Yes. But they typcially take them to the doctor first. A broken nose needs to be set and any head injury will get looked at. So there should be a bandage on his nose as a broken nose swells up quite a bit and bleeds like crazy. His nose is clearly not broken, "grainy" video or not. That is an easy injury to see.

 

How may Male Members on this Forum would let a 150 lbs 17 year old kick their ass while they have a Loaded Gun?

Show of Hand Please?

 

Zimmerman is not a sworn LEO he has no jurisdiction to make that call. He has a right to report it to police and wait for them to respond and he has a right to protect his property and family if Trayvon was trying to break into his house. However, Trayvon was walking on public property and not committing any crimes whatsoever. If Zimmerman thought he was the thief he should have reported it and let the police handle it. Pursuing someone that you could have avoided if you didn't give chase, getting into an altercation with that person, and then killing them is not self defense. Zimmerman was the pursuer not the other way around.

 

What the progressives are forgetting is that Zimmerman only had to believe that he was in danger of suffering great bodily harm in order to make the shooting of Martin lawful. The fact that he did not suffer great bodily harm is meaningless.

good point

 

So if everything you beleive is correct ... Zimmerman got his ass kicked by a 150 lbs 17 years old, after Zimmerman tracked him down a long way from the parking lot.

Hummmm ...

 

Whatever, he was neighborhood watch and the kid matched the description of a known perp who was breaking into houses in the area. He should have kept his eye on him the whole time, and he didn't, thats where he messed up because the kid took advantage of that and ambushed him. Game over.

 

A 28 year old man that is larger shouldn't need a gun to handle a minor should he? Especially when he was the one pursuing the minor and forced the altercation.

 

I see ... so Zimmerman has a broken nose and he's now handcuffed to be led away ... usually when you're handcuffed behind your back being led away ... it's to booking to be arrested ...

 

And that is the issue here. It is his word against a dead kid with an invisible witness.

Best case scenario is he goes to jail. I really do not care about the shooting itself but what led up to it is the issue. If anything he should get put away for negligent homicide and being stupid.

 

He claims that he was suddenly punched by Martin who was 6'3". A sucker punch can knock a 5'9" man down. Then the football player got on top of Zimmerman and began to beat him. This is a difficult situation for an untrained person to physically get themselves out of. It is likely that at this point, the Hispanic Democrat thought he was going to be beat to death and acted accordingly. This is why the lynch mob is so off base.

You have proof of that assumption? Neighborhood watch has a clearly stated responsibility to report suspicious activity in their neighborhood to the police. They do not under any circumstances have the right to deem what is or is not probable cause on public property. They can report it and wait for the police. Do you want a bunch of armed vigilantes running around your neighborhood deciding who is suspicious and who isn't or would you rather the people who are paid to do that and bound by law to handle that?

I'm sorry but if you are walking around on public property at night and a strange man with a gun starts following you and you start running and they give chase are you honestly going to think their intentions are for good reasons?

 

And this guy wanted to be a Police Officer?

There's Police Officers all over the Planet laughing their ass off.
