those photos aren't evidence of anything because they aren't taken from the same position and angle. The video shows Martin taking a step back, reaching to his pocket, pulling out a gun and pointing it at the cop. I'm not sure why it's easier for some people to believe that a cop would just shoot for no reason at all and completely unprovoked than that someone with a history of arrests for violent crime would pull a gun on a cop.
