>Did Martin get off Zimmerman? And then Zimmerman shot him?< I have no idea what happened. However, I read.... Zimmerman said he shot Martin when Martin went for his gun. Medical reports confirmed that Martin was shot at close range. Assuming Zimmerman is telling the truth (???), the likely scenario is that he took a beating, Martin got off of him, Zimmerman was still calling for help, Zimmerman then had the opportunity to pull the gun, Martin then went for the gun, and then Zimmerman shot him. That seems like a very plausible scenario that would be consistent with everything I've read so far (both fact and what Zimmerman has claimed).

"Someone interested in a law enforcement career, you would think, would consider some kind of self-defense training. " where do you come up with that ?? My brother is a retired cop, he became a cop to help people, not to beat them up. He never took any self defense training before being a cop, he never even thought about it. You libs have a fukked up opinion about what a cop is and why people become cops. Guys who want to become cops because they are power crazy wash out early, then they go on to become community activists
