3 hours ago Police say Zimmerman had chances to defuse situation before shooting Martin
New information released: Investigative Reporter, msnbc.com
Prosecutors released more documents, photos and audiovisual files on Tuesday afternoon from the case of neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman, accused of murder in the second degree in the shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Fla., on Feb. 26.

911 tapes show Zimmerman told to stand down while chasing Martin, who was running towards home; this was the first of two warnings from the police to stop pursuing Martin.

Where does this shit come from?
Zimmerman NEVER called 911.
Zimmerman was following him. That is true. A watchman on private property has that right.
The words chased and pursued are dramatic embellishments.
Justice for George.

We'll never know if Trayvon had a chance to "defuse" before jumping on George, punching him in the face and bashing his head onto the cement.

Maybe Trayvon was just "standing his ground" against an armed attacker who was threatening his life.

Or are you only allowed to stand your ground if you have a lethal weapon in your hand.

Ya- and Roddney King had a chance to defuse the situation
but know - he had to resist a legal arrest for DUI and ultimately caused billions of dollars $$$ in damage to the Los Angeles area during the 1992 riots.

Concerning the Zimmerman-Martin situation:
The main stream news media appears to be doing everything in it's power to cause tension between the Races.

this is true. does he have a right to defend himself when some creep is following him with a gun?
Exalted is He from what they utter. Exalted is He from what they imagine. Exalted is He that exists without a place. Exalted is He that was there forever without a time or a beginning. Exalted is He that will be there forever without a time or an end. Exalted is He that will forever be praised. That is your God.

nope not at all, the kid could have told him," hey my dads girl lives right down there"But instead he wanted to play like a bad ass gansta and rush george. Parents should have taught him to respect adults. When I was younger older people always yelled at us to be quiet or wanted to know who we were. didnt go and punch them in the face for it though. Most people are fed up with punks like this who act tough and portray the role of gansta. Hopefully punkass kids like him get the message and settle the f*#k down!dead343

he wasn't following him exactly - he'd already lost sight of him and was looking for house number to give his location to dispatch. he had peeked around the direction he saw trayvon take off and didn't see him. then trayvon leaped out at him like a wild beast

My lawyer (a retired NJ superior court judge) once advised me to NEVER speak to the police, for ANY reason, unless I was willing to risk having that conversation used against me in court.

So why should anyone feel compelled to speak to a wannabe mall cop playing Wyatt Earp in some housing development.

It's none of Wyatt's fucking business what he's doing there.

Zimmerman also blatantly violated major principles of the Neighborhood Watch manual, ABC News has learned.

The manual, from the National Neighborhood Watch Program, states: "It should be emphasized to members that they do not possess police powers, and they shall not carry weapons or pursue vehicles. They should also be cautioned to alert police or deputies when encountering strange activity. Members should never confront suspicious persons who could be armed and dangerous."

All this has already been addressed. The corrupt and incompetent prosecutor Angela Corey is simply releasing things putting her own spin on it. She is changing details such as George looking for a house number to give to dispatch - and calling it "chasing".
They trickle out Zimmerman "news" whenever Barry and Holder are getting heat in the news. Don't think Angela Corey didn't get a special phone call.
