>> If you recall, it was the Sanford police that arrested Zimmerman and then let him go.

I'm not aware of Zimmerman being arrested and let go. My recollection is that he was interrogated and there was insufficient evidence to charge him. Only after blacks became militant did they then decide to charge him without evidence. As I posted a few minutes ago, the Police Chief was quoted saying he was told they didn't care whether there was enough evidence or not, they wanted him charged.


You're right to a degree. He was arrested, taken to jail in handcuffs and then let go. A formal charge was not made.That's why Zimmerman was let go. And that outraged the black community. Adding to the outrage, if you don't formally charge someone within 175 days of the event, then FL law allows that person can never be charged.
