They showed a video. Is that taking sides?

Um, what does your personal issues have to do with Zimmerman?

You mean where they said the video "showed no blood or bruises"? Did you see blood or bruises? If so isolate the images. This should be interesting.

I'm fairly certain that Trayvon Martin was found face down when police arrrived. The shooting scenario is what I was most curious about. If Trayvon was on top of Zimmerman pummeling him (as Zimmerman claimed) he (Zimmerman) would have to reenact exactly where his hands were at that exact space in time. If he was fending Trayvon's assault off, at what point did he reach for his gun and as another poster inquired, was his gun locked? What was the distance from his hand holding the gun to Trayvon's chest? If he shot Trayvon at such a close proximity, would Trayvon's blood not be on Zimmerman's clothing? On the police video, there is no blood on Zimmerman's clothing...not even his own.

If Trayvon was found face down, did he spin and turn before he died? Was his yelling for help the result of seeing Zimmerman aim his gun? That would mean Zimmerman could have held him there as opposed to shooting to kill.

There are so many unanswered questions that are puzzling and frustrating the public...can anyone imagine how incredibly empty and frustrated his parents have been feeling.

It has crossed my mind that Zimmerman was in hiding to allow his non existent wounds to heal before he surfaced.

He cleaned himself up while handcuffed? Good one.

A fight should show obvious injuries if THE OTHER PERSON IS SHOT! If you are not being injured, if you said you feared for your life, if people said you where being pummeled and if you claim self defense there needs to be wounds. Yes.

You are mad because you probably took the written report leaked at face value. It helped you backup your deep rooted racist feelings and then decided to pounce. Now that video......VIDEO.....evidence is out showing nothing that suggests that he was in a scuffle is out there you become defense and somehow feel that someones word is more conclusive than video.

I never took either side but this video has me wondering. Seriously. Think about it. You want to justify shooting someone you should at least have some semblance of proof and the anonymous statement, a police statement about being beaten is pale in comparison to video.
Lacerations should always be treated with stitches... Do you know if he was handcuffed before or after he cleaned himself (and if he did or not)? So you telling me a fight breaks out and one person is shot and there would always be obvious injury to the other person? Fear for your life doesn't mean beaten to an inch of your life... in fact, you don't even have to have ANY injuries in order to "fear for your lilfe" since that is a state of mind...

I am not mad... I am disappointed at how people can jump to the wrong conclusions and gone on and on and on and try to make up stuff that doesn't even make sense..... video is only caught in that specific place and that specific time... it doesn't talk to you to tell you what happened before... I am not justifying the shooting, what I am pointing out is poor conclusions from rhetoric rather than evidence... is this video even evidence? Is the prosecutor even going to use it? If not, then how in the world did it become "evidence" for the public community...

I think that you are the one that needs to reread because you seem to be getting mixed up with what has been said.
