There's way too much focus on Zimmerman [View all]

[Enrique]

what struck me dumbfounded when I first heard the story was the fact that Zimmerman wasn't arrested. That decision wasn't made by Zimmerman, it was made by the Sanford Police Department.

And the more I read about the story, the more seriously questionable conduct came out, the fact that they "overrode" an eyewitness account about who was screaming, and the fact that they drug-tested Trayvon but not Zimmerman, the fact that they didn't even notify the parents for two days (wtf!), the fact that they didn't even let Zimmerman tell them what happened, and on and on...

Everyone's talking about Zimmerman, we're seeing his photo over and over, what about Bill Lee? Yes he stepped down but does it end there? Is anyone looking into his background? What about the rest of the department? Who replaced Lee and what's his background?

So many questions and no one's asking them. The more I hear about Zimmerman, I just think, let this all come out in the trial. But even if Zimmerman gets the death penalty, the questions will remain about that police department. And it's not at all clear that their problems are in the past.
