I don't think this Zimmerman guy intended to kill anyone, I think he probably just panicked, but there's a reason police officers are trained to do that job, and not just some random dude off the street.

Whether or not Travyon was an angel or not is irrelevant, he was simply walking home, but basically the bottom line is a kid is dead when he shouldn't be.

Don't play police officer if you're not a freaking cop, especially towards random people on the street. Well intentioned or not, you're not trained for that situation, nor can you be identified as a officer of the law in case things get heated.

This Zimmerman guy is a freaking idiot IMO for disregarding the 911 dispatcher and thinking he was playing cops and robbers.

And what's the deal with Florida anyway? You can kill kids and get off scott free, lol. Hello Casey Anthony.

Exactly... except... none of that happened.

Zimmerman didnt play cops and robbers. Zimmerman knew what his job was and he did exactly what he did the other times he called the cops. Except this time he was following him through the walking area.  He also listened to the 911 dispatcher


IMO this is a situation where you need to be trained as a police officer to know what the hell you're doing. You also need to be in this situation identifiable as a police officer.

The 911 dispatcher told him to go follow the suspect? Really? If so, that's two people not using any common sense.

If you're not a freaking actual police officer and have no real police training, then approaching/following private citizens on suspcion of criminal activity armed with a weapon is "playing cops and robbers" as far as I'm concerned.

Stay in your car and let people who are actually trained for that situation to handle it, even if the kid is a robber, possessions can be replaced or reimbursed, someone's life cannot.
