I thought I saw that.

HS,

Have you noticed how the black community has switched from believing that police misconduct is a reason for acquittal (See the OJ Simpson Acquittal) versus now the alleged misconduct of the Sanford police means that Zimmerman is guilty.

Have you also noticed that racist behavior on the part of whites is a reason to commit crimes(See the Jena 6, etc) while racist behavior on the part of blacks (the tweets of Martin) do not matter.

[anon]

doesn't surprise me that blacks will constant shift positions as long as their end objective is preserved. which is whitey is guilty and must be punished at all cost. these are the same people that believe that the government created Crack/cocaine and AIDs what do you expect.

superdestroyer, of course. this is to be expected from a race that scores higher than any other on measures of self-esteem. when you feel that good about yourself, despite all evidence to the contrary, anything that is in service to your ego is right and anything that does not assuage your ego is wrong.

almost like children.

I just think it's amusing that the ABC video has "abc NEWS EXLUSIVE" blocking Zimmerman's head for nearly all the video.

Zimmerman's attorney says the video was taken 4 hours after the incident. I don't have the timeline in my head but is that plausible?

At 1:50 in this tape the officer bends in to look at the back of Zimmerman's head like "wtf is going on!"

Its quite clear that something has drawn his attention.

Why are his clothes so clean? The earlier report said he had been on his back, and it rained. If I'm rolling on wet grass struggling in a life-or-death fight I'd be dirty.

[HS: The video is too low-resolution to make out how clean or dirty his clothes are.]

Turambar,

It probably started to bleed a bit again. Likely the laceration or abrasion or whatever it can be called was compressed by medics at the scene, then later bled again.

theakinet,

Only if I roll around in the dirt would I be dirty. I just spent yesterday gardening and fixing lawn sprinkler heads. My lawn was still wet from the previous day's rain, yet sitting down on the lawn left me with nothing other than damp pants and a few lawn clippings from my cutting of the grass around the sprinkler heads.

Yes, it does look like the Daily Caller's enlarged photo shows a round gouge from which follows what might be a either a fairly wide and long laceration or a gouge from which downward has flowed a swath of coagulated blood.
