So if this was not a clear cut case, why did the police act like it was.
In the eyes of the police, we had a black teenager in a gated community. That’s already “wrong type of guy in the wrong type of place.”
Zimmerman was the “guy protecting his home” against a “wrong type of guy in the wrong type of place.”
Therefore, Martin getting shot seemed very clear cut to the police.
For a Southern white policeman, Martin deserved to get shot, that was extremely clear. thus Zimmerman was released and not charged. Why would he be charged???
