Yes, from the beginning, we've been shown a slanted, incomplete picture that downplays this guy's history of violence and racial animus. This story is being treated by the corporate media as fuel on long-smoldering, unaddressed racial and class tensions. They've tried their damnedest to water it down.

Why wasn't cop wannabe Zimmerman a cop? [View all] NNN0LHI Mar 2012 OP

Record of violent assaults, including assault on a police officer. yardwork Mar 2012 #1

Yet they pass out concealed carry permits to idiots like this? NNN0LHI Mar 2012 #2

Charges were dropped. X_Digger Mar 2012 #4

I have a feeling that charges like that get dropped a lot. Drug possession not so much. yardwork Mar 2012 #7

What, then, do YOU think is the reason Cirque du So-What Mar 2012 #15

I think he's buddy-buddy with some of the cops, which would also explain their action in this case.. X_Digger Mar 2012 #20

That would also explain why he was allowed to abuse the 911 call system. yardwork Mar 2012 #21

Do we know if it was actually 911 or was it the non-emergency number? X_Digger Mar 2012 #23

I've seen the same confusion. Have no idea if it was 911 or non-emergency. yardwork Mar 2012 #26

It was 911 obamanut2012 Mar 2012 #32

Thanks. I thought it was 911. yardwork Mar 2012 #38

Still Cirque du So-What Mar 2012 #22

Or.. and this is just another guess.. X_Digger Mar 2012 #24

Was that assault in a different place? Was it in Miami? yardwork Mar 2012 #27

Yeah, I'm fuzzy on those details, and don't have them close at hand. n/t X_Digger Mar 2012 #28

I looked and couldn't find info on where the previous assault took place. yardwork Mar 2012 #29

*sigh* I hear ya. n/t X_Digger Mar 2012 #30

That is especially worth asking because the local people did not run a background check on him and jwirr Mar 2012 #46

His old man is a retired judge. That might have something to do with it. 11 Bravo Mar 2012 #44

That was my contention all along Cirque du So-What Mar 2012 #45

I'm glad he wasn't allowed to be a cop. no_hypocrisy Mar 2012 #3

What is his occupation? other than neighborhood watch captain? WI_DEM Mar 2012 #5

He was a student (5 years) at a college in North Florida....n/t monmouth Mar 2012 #9

I've been wondering the same thing. No employer has stepped forward. yardwork Mar 2012 #10

i read somewhere that he was working somewhere barbtries Mar 2012 #12

I sincerely doubt that he was an insurance underwriter. That requires a college degree. yardwork Mar 2012 #14

the link is in this thread. barbtries Mar 2012 #16

I see it. I don't believe it. Edited to add - wait. This is Florida. Real estate scams. yardwork Mar 2012 #18

He did loan forensics at a firm in Orlando obamanut2012 Mar 2012 #33

He was/is an underwriter for a mortgage risk management firm Fawke Em Mar 2012 #13

...according to anonymous sources. I don't believe that he was an underwriter. He had no experience. yardwork Mar 2012 #17

My husband is in insurance... he'd like to know his qualifications, too. Fawke Em Mar 2012 #47

And I wish the media would stop referring to him as a "Watch Captain". chelsea0011 Mar 2012 #8

Too violent? Probably not -- compared to other cops izquierdista Mar 2012 #11

As a cop he might have to face a real criminal that might also be carrying. obxhead Mar 2012 #19

Just guessing but they must have determined ... Ganja Ninja Mar 2012 #25

Yet they "trained" him to be the volunteer captain of a neighborhood watch. yardwork Mar 2012 #31

He wasn't an official community watch volunteer obamanut2012 Mar 2012 #34

Articles state that the Sanford police department "trained" him and his buddy. yardwork Mar 2012 #37

articles state a lot of things- many of them gross distortions. Bluerthanblue Mar 2012 #39

I don't think we disagree. His training was poor and he didn't follow common sense, much less rules. yardwork Mar 2012 #40

I don't think we do either, Bluerthanblue Mar 2012 #42

Sit. Speak. Lie down. LiberalEsto Mar 2012 #43

I'm not sure how extensive his training was. Ganja Ninja Mar 2012 #36

Too stupid. Iggo Mar 2012 #35
