12. There should also be an investigation of the behavior of the police

who deliberately suppressed or tried to mess up evidence in order to protect Zimmerman. They changed statements given by witnesses, deliberately refrained from testing the shooter for drugs or alcohol--while, as I have read, testing the victim for drugs and alcohol!

They did everything they could at the time and later, when talking to the press, to muddy the waters and to deflect attention from evidence against the shooter.

There should be charges brought against the cops, too, and some should lose their jobs over this travesty.
