that the conditions in which he pursued Trayvon, were not covered under that law. Also, his "watch" job states that he is not to pursue anyone.

There are so many blatantly wrong things with this senseless killing. It fuels the outrage, and justifiably so. This police department needs to have spotlights put on it.
