Yes, they do, as I found out with the ambulance. polly7 Mar 2012 #47

I work in a Level One ER. This man is not injured, I agree. K Gardner Mar 2012 #166

Maybe the blood was cleaned up, where is Trayvon's blood? Kurska Mar 2012 #182

Maybe he didn't shoot Trayvon at close range. yardwork Mar 2012 #189

When I broke my nose it didn't bleed at all TorchTheWitch Mar 2012 #87

The police report said that Zimmerman had a bloody nose and mouth. bluestate10 Mar 2012 #95

but im sure it was swollen, at the very least got root Mar 2012 #111

why would it be? TorchTheWitch Mar 2012 #140

You're right about all of that. polly7 Mar 2012 #144

well, I DO see something on the back of his head TorchTheWitch Mar 2012 #178

I broke mine. It bled for a long time too, and I had gashes on my upper lip. My JDPriestly Mar 2012 #175

And I saw no blood on his shirt. That may have been what they were looking at his jacket for. jwirr Mar 2012 #193

And had his shirt washed? Dead_Parrot Mar 2012 #34

Exactly, not just a bloody nose, a broken nose. Incitatus Mar 2012 #71

No sign of any treatment. His shaved head is clean. No blood, no wounds, no bandages. yardwork Mar 2012 #89

if he was treated, the cops would have gloves on grasswire Mar 2012 #119

Of course that is not the legal standard, but you knew that ProgressiveProfessor Mar 2012 #37

Um, the legal standard is indeed to fear for one's life or "great bodily harm" TeamsterDem Mar 2012 #85

The problem is that untrained people who get their bell rung often think they have been injured ProgressiveProfessor Mar 2012 #157

I think you're misreading the law in 2 important ways TeamsterDem Mar 2012 #172

Actually we are in agreement on some of this ProgressiveProfessor Mar 2012 #173

No, I am focusing on the entire thing, not just one part TeamsterDem Mar 2012 #199

I'm comparing the video to what Zimmerman's attorneys said, and it doesn't match. yardwork Mar 2012 #96

Yup. He looks ok to my untrained eye. PotatoChip Mar 2012 #13

Maybe the police stopped by Zimm's house dmkinsey Mar 2012 #146

Clear enough. No injury to him and he's not upset. Notice the cuff, though. freshwest Mar 2012 #46

Cuffs mandatory. He knew his way inside, cops didn't have to lead him. He knew that place well leveymg Mar 2012 #53
