George Zimmerman blasts Sanford Police [View all]

[Baitball Blogger]

After going on a 12-hour ride along with a Sanford Police officer, George Zimmerman was not impressed.

In fact, he said they were lazy, according to recordings released from a Jan. 2011 city forum where Zimmerman publicly lambasted his local police department, according to documents provided to the Orlando Sentinel Wednesday.

"What I saw was disgusting," Zimmerman said to mayor-elect Jeff Triplett following a scandal that ousted then-police chief Brian Tooley. "The officer showed me his favorite hiding spots for taking naps."

The recordings are in line with depictions of Zimmerman by friends and family as a man preoccupied with the rule of law and deeply concerned about the safety of his community.
