YOu're right...it's not the racist cop kills black guy. The real question why did it take 5 guys to arrest a guy selling loosies?Eric Garner had a history of heart disease, asthma, and was obese. He did not die during the choke hold. He was complaining he was unable to breath and the police called an ambulance. He was pronounce dead 1 HOUR AFTER arriving at a hospital.
I am not saying the choke hold did not contribute to his death (among other factors). But it was hardly the "racist cop kills black man" the media tried to portray it as.
The real story to me is government overreach. The government attacking a citizen selling private property (that he bought legally) because they want their tax money.
Government greed is what really killed Eric Garner. This truth was covered up by a media blitz campaign serving their Democrat/Socialist masters.
Nobody is challenging Zimmerman acted inappropriately.
However you left out some details. Trayvon was on top of Zimmerman ground pounding him before Zimmerman shot him. Most people would call that self defense not vigilantism. You also left out the fact that initially the media reported it was a "white man" (the media MUST stroke the fires of racism).
You also left out the fact the media purposefully used an outdated picture of a young Trayvon to manipulate public opinion.

This is what Trayvon did to Zimmerman before Zimmerman shot him.

Rambo Zimmerman was looking for sheet and he found it. Still...had he not followed and just met the cops at the mailboxes (as the 911 dispatcher instructed him), he wouldn't have gotten his butt kicked. But again....if it was Trayvon tailing Rambo for whatever reason, one has to wonder if Rambo would have just continued walking, would he have at some point stopped to "confront" him? That's the cool thing about "stand your ground"...if you follow and follow and follow...eventually you will have a reason to 'stand your ground'.
