If George Zimmerman is not arrested in the shooting death
of Trayvon
Martin soon, theRev. Al Sharpton will
call for an escalation in peaceful civil disobedience and economic sanctions.
Sharpton would not say the efforts would be taken against
the city of Sanford specifically, but he has been critical of the police
department's handling of the case.
Much has been made about a video of Zimmerman arriving at Sanford Police headquarters. Every news network has made the claim that the video does not support the Zimmerman claim that he had been injured by Trayvon Martin, just prior to the shooting.
I watched ABC's analysis of the video on Wednesday or Thursday night. Diane Sawyers did the commentary. She allowed for there to be "new bump" on Zimmerman's nose and point to the fact that one of the receiving cops spent a moment or two looking at something on the back of Zimmerman's head. She concluded that nothing definite could be deduced from the film itself.
But no other network is being equally objective.
Think about what we have, here. Al Sharpton, attempting to incite a riot, the New Black Panthers looking to arrest Zimmerman, themselves, the Nation of Islam is looking to "take it to the streets." Young Martin's mom has put a copyright on a hoodie and is about to make a killing off a facsimile of the hooded shirt her son was wearing. More power to her, but the last thing I would be thinking is "how can I make money off this deal."
How can it be wrong to wait and see how this ends. There is a Grand Jury in the works, and an independent investigator is on the job.
If Zimmerman is guilty, that will come out. Understand there is good reason to believe that he had the wounds he claimed to have had and a witness verifies his story,
