Previous incidents with racial issues

News reports noted that the police department of the city of Sanford has faced previous allegations of racial prejudice.[SUP][116][/SUP] In 2011, chief of police Brian Tooley was forced from office after declining to prosecute a police lieutenant's son for beating up a homeless black man, in an incident caught on video. After the footage went viral on YouTube, the perpetrator, Justin Collison, was arrested.[SUP][116][/SUP][SUP][117][/SUP][SUP][118][/SUP] The officer in charge of that case was also in charge of the Trayvon Martin shooting scene.[SUP][55][/SUP] In 2005, two parking lot security guards, one the son of a Sanford police department veteran and the other a volunteer for the department, shot a black teen, Travares McGill, in the back, killing him. The guards asserted self-defense, and the case was dismissed in court.[SUP][116][/SUP][SUP][119][/SUP] In February 2010, press reports indicated one officer was fired and another, Ned Golden Junior (son of the head of the local police union), was suspended for two weeks after sending sexist and racist text messages on a department computer.[SUP][120][/SUP][SUP][121][/SUP]

LOL this guy! The best he can do is quote wikipedia as a source!

Pretty sure we could pull up police scandals from just about any police department in the country maybe even the world.How does that Prove anything?
go ahead then.

start with any town. try gilbert, arizona. or lubbock, texas. tell me what you find.

find me a black teen shot in the back (self defense, of course) or a black homeless man being nearly killed with a blow from behind and the police protecting the aggressors.

Ok according to your wiki source it say the "officer in charge" of the trayvon case and this other case.Why doesn't it list his name? By all accounts the investigator in charge of the trayvon case wanted to make an arrest but was informed not by the prosecutor.

serino is the lead investigator, not the one in charge of the police scene. raimondo was the one in charge of the police scene.

are you sure they even bother teaching canucks how to read? it's all there on the page.

you don't see that as a problem? that somehow they knew this kid's name and DOB that very night but tagged him john doe and left him sitting in the morgue for three days?

why the hell would they do that? explain it for me please, obviously you must know something i don't.
I don't know why they would do it. I can guess. The morgue is not handled by the police. Maybe the morgue messed up their paperwork and did not tag TM's body correctly. Why did TM's parents not correct the problem, they obviously knew he was dead?

So, TM being labeled "John Doe" has nothing to do with the case other than being unfortunate?

martin's parents had to file a missing person's report, actually.

and his body was tagged before it was brought to the medical examiner's office.

"...the boy’s body had actually been taken to the medical examiner’s office and listed as a John Doe."

i don't see anything remotely similar to what has happened in sanford, such as a lieutenant's son hitting a homeless black man from behind and nearly killing him, or shooting a black teen in the back and calling it self defense.

although i see racial profiling is well and alive in lubbock, texas. black people make up 7% of the population and 36% of the drug arrests.

wow.

I have no explanation. According to the article Trayvon was listed as a John Doe for one day, not three. Still bad, though.

so they knew who he was and they also didn't know who he was?

i think zimmerman is not the only one who needs to be on trial here, the sanford police are highly suspect as well.

Trayvon was identified the next day by his father.Once identified they added his name to the police report.Nothing criminal about that.

OK. I will grant you that, but so what. What is the significance of Trayvon being tagged "John Doe" for three days? Does that bolster your argument that Zimmer murdered Trayvon? If so, how? You have posted this "fact" multiple times, and every time I am left wondering, "so what".
It's circumstantial; I will grant you that. However it smacks of coverup. There are two arguments that have an acceptable likelihood:

1) the police and morgue were operating well below their usual standard of competence, or
2) they know this one was going to stink, and engaged in a pre-emptive time-buying move while working on getting their stories synced.

If you can think of a quasi-reasonable 3), please let me know. cn

oh, jesus christ. look at the report. you've linked to it before.
http://www.sanfordfl.gov/investigation/docs/Twin Lakes Shooting Initial Report.pdf

Buck ok let me dumb this down.Look at the link I post thats the official repot.The narratives(Because these are the statements) part cannot be changed.The persons part can be changed.For example, If another witness came forward they would add their name to the persons sections.Their statements would then added to the narratives.These narrative be signed by said witness to prevent "misconduct".Once the narratives are signed no changes can be made. A police report is open until the investigations are over.

there may be another witness in this case. stay tuned.

there is also some flim flam about the position of martin's body face down on the ground being compatible with zimmerman's constantly changing tale about having his head slammed into the sidewalk.
