1. trayvon martin was unarmed, while zimmerman was armed. as you stated, zimmerman illegally initiated contact and "harassed" trayvon martin. an appropriate response for zimmerman would have been to fight back without the use of a deadly weapon.

2. yes, the grant case was obvious misconduct, but it wouldn't have been seen as such if there was no video. and even with video present, it was STILL difficult for people to accept that the police were in the wrong.

3a. no evidence has been released regarding fingerprints on the gun in the harding case, nor in the blueford case. we need to question why this is.

3b. first it was reported that the gun that blueford supposedly had was 30 feet away from where the killing occurred. now, it was supposedly 5 feet away. i submitted a question to the chief with a speaker card at the town hall at acts full gospel, regarding fingerprints on the gun (or on the cartridge/bullets, for that matter). he refused to release information that shows blueford was definitely in possession of that gun and was carrying it. there is no proof of anything right now. also, blueford was on juvenile probation…not likely that he was going to "go to prison" as you hinted.

4. raheim brown may or may not have been stealing the car. in either case, it's not something a person should be shot and killed for. the gun had not been discovered until after the killing, to my memory, so whether or not he was supposedly going to do violence is a moot point. police should not be allowed to kill people based on what they MIGHT do. we also need to remember the fact that SCHOOL POLICE shot and killed raheim brown. this is very alarming. school police are supposed to keep students in schools (during school hours) safe….obviously, that is not what those cops were doing.
