that won't stop hatuey from continuing his lies and omissions. he already knew all this in fact, but still presented the evidence anyway
Mostly I agree with you. But I'm not sure if he was white and wearing a hoodie that this would have ended the same. I do think our perceptions are often based on stereotypes and those can and often do have a bit of race in them.
What's provable in court is what will ultimately matter.
Maybe to put this in another context would be helpful.
Person A is doing 70 in a 25 zone.
He runs a stop sign and t-bones a car that ALSO ran the stop sign but was travelling 25 mph.
Driver B dies.
BOTH ran the stop sign, but driver A was speeding.
Responsibility is APPORTIONED in such cases isn't it?
And would make driver A MORE responsible. Right?
I might be really wrong here, but my impression is that protest is about the perception that the SPD didn't do their due diligence investigating this crime because the dead guy was a black kid.Protesting for the right to beat to death anyone who calls the police or annoys them? I don't think this pans out well in the long run.
Evidence that some other guy in Atlanta is a criminal =/= Martin was a criminal and Zimmerman was justified.

If you can't trust the police, civil society breaks down. So if I am correct, it's about a major issue.
All of that is aside from whether or not the perception is accurate.
Where did you get Zimmerman beating a cop?....
its called the news, and FACTS.

Perhaps a single iotaIf we are to take this information at face value - Zimmerman has a violent past and that lends credibility to those supporting Zimmerman's guilt.

Imho, I don't think that showing us a one time event that happened 7 years ago is a strong case for demonstrating a pattern of behavior, or tendencies, or w/e.
My point was the panthers are offering a cash reward for Zimmerman, nevermind mr myopic LOL
But what's your point in showing that?
The actions of the Black Panthers do not affect the guilt or innocence of anyone actually involved.
Certainly these two things are different. What it does provide in showing that is that the NBPP is willing to commit a felony by offering a bounty on what legally constitutes an innocent person. It also shows that the law in Florida is not taking action on the NBPP either, in order to preserve public peace even though the NBPP is arguably breaking the law.
this recent arrest indicates - to me - that the government is watching their actions
