Officer Jason Giroir, who is under investigation for his role in the shooting of a young black New Orleans man earlier this month, resigned in light of the scrutiny over comments he posted on a wwltv.com story about an unrelated fatal shooting in Florida last month.

Maybe the photo is too much, but I believe the message is genuine. Just yesterday it was raining outside and I was walking to my car parked across the street. As I started to put my hood on something flashed across my mind and I thought of Trayvon. I stopped myself and resolved that it was probably better I didn't put my hood on.
The fear is definitely real.

His father is a ****ing retired judge & has been getting him out of everything. I can promise that's the only reason no arrest has been made.

To me that does seem genuine,that could of been either one of us.

Quote:
Continuing to stay strong in the face of intense pain, the Martin family reached out to us and shared some exclusive family photos taken 9 days before Trayvon’s death on February 17, 2012.
Out celebrating his mother’s birthday, we see the 6’3 teenager enjoying one of the final moments with his family.
We see Trayvon horseback riding, playfully hugging his little cousins at dinner and finally posing in a family photo.
Take a look at some family photos from Trayvon’s family

The last time he saw his mother was on her b'day

I'm so glad they released the video. It goes to show his claims of Trayvon attacking him are baseless and just a tactic to cover his ass.

ShootFirst Zimmerman is a LIAR! (Drag-A-Thon)
VIDEO
Quote:
(CNN) -- The father of George Zimmerman, the man accused of shooting and killing an unarmed black teen in Florida, says the 17-yea rold threatened to kill Zimmerman and then beat him so badly that it forced Zimmerman to shoot him.
"Trayvon Martin said something to the effect of, 'You're going to die now' or 'You're going to die tonight,' something to that effect," Robert Zimmerman told Orlando TV station WOFL. "He continued to beat George. At some point, George pulled his pistol. Did what he did." A surveillance video from the Sanford Police headquarters the night of the incident raises questions about the description of a beating.
It shows Zimmerman, his hands cuffed, exiting a patrol car and being led into the police station. First broadcast Wednesday by ABCNews.com, the video does not provide close-ups, but also does not show clear signs of Zimmerman having injuries.
"He was punched in the nose. His nose was broken," Robert Zimmerman said. "He was knocked to the concrete. Trayvon Martin got on top of him and just started beating him. In the face. In his nose, hitting his head on the concrete." Robert Zimmerman was not there the night of the shooting and did not say during the interview how he knew the details of the altercation.
The elder Zimmerman's account was disputed by Martin's family attorney and several legal experts who looked at the video.
"The injuries that made it sound as though he really should have been on a stretcher are not apparent in this tape at all," said Marcia Clark, the former prosecutor in the O.J. Simpson trial. "He moves freely. He moves fluidly, not like someone who has just been through a beating in any way, shape or form, someone whose head has been pounded on the pavement as hard as described, someone whose nose was broken and bleeding. That tells you a great deal."
Sybrina Fulton, Martin's mother, said the video is another strong piece of evidence proving her son was killed unjustly.
"I believe that this video is the icing on the cake," she said. "This is not the first part of the evidence that they have had. They have had the 911 tapes and they have also have witnesses. This is in addition to what the Sanford Police Department has always had. There is no problem with this case and he needs to be arrested."
Zimmerman has not been arrested, and authorities have said he has not been charged because there are no grounds to disprove his account of what happened. The shooting has hit a nerve in the nation, sparked a debate about racial profiling, and ignited protests and calls for Zimmerman's arrest.
Robert Zimmerman said his son is having a hard time dealing with the criticism. "I never foresaw so much hate coming from the president, the Congressional Black Caucus, the NAACP. Every organization imaginable is trying to get notoriety or profit from this in some way," Robert Zimmerman told WOFL. "But there's so much hate that I have never been involved in hate and George hasn't. It's really unbelievable."
Robert Zimmerman said his son is not racist and race had nothing to do with the incident. 
"He would do anything to help anybody at any time. He's colorblind when it comes to any race," Robert Zimmerman said. Tracy Martin, Trayvon Martin's father, said Wednesday that the 911 tape shows Zimmerman was profiling his son. In a recording of Zimmerman's call to police, some people have said they hear what sounds like a possible racial slur. CNN enhanced the sound of the 911 call, and several members of CNN's editorial staff repeatedly reviewed the tape but could reach no consensus on whether Zimmerman used a slur.
Angela Corey, the special prosecutor assigned to investigate the case, said Tuesday that investigators would look into the allegations that Zimmerman used a racial slur. Martin, who lived in Miami, was visiting Sanford after receiving a 10-day suspension from school, a family spokesman has said. An empty plastic bag found in his book bag had been determined to contain marijuana residue. Benjamin Crump, Martin's parents' attorney, said information regarding the suspension was irrelevant and amounts to a smear campaign against the teen. Florida law allows the use of deadly force anywhere a person feels a reasonable fear of death or serious injury. It has been cited in a number of justifiable homicide cases in Florida.
But as more and more information surfaces, the picture of what happened becomes more complicated. Despite the twists and turns in the case, Fulton, Martin's mother, says she still has faith in authorities investigating her son's case.
"I feel confident that they're going to do a thorough investigation," Fulton said. "We're trying to be patient, even though it's been over a month. We're trying to be patient, and we're trying to press on for justice."

Zimmerman is not racist??????Are you ****ing serious????
Did the word Coon NOT escape Mr Zimmerman's lips shortly before Trayvon's death??????Did his call history to police NOT consist (almost) exclusively of BLACK males????? Zimmerman should be IN JAIL right now.
Also,some of those kids who participated in those walkouts should be ashamed of themselves.

The saddest thing about this case he will NEVER see the inside of a jail cell. They will charge just to quiet everybody down but there's no way he will be convicted all thanks to the incompetence of the on the scene officers.
All the evidence is gone. So sad, My heart breaks for his family

I want to know what they learned from the autopsy of Trayvon's body. Because surely if he had thrown a few punches and struggled with Zimmerman, the coroner would be able to pick up bruises on his knuckles and match them up with any "bruises" on Zimmerman at the time. But from the looks of that tape Zimmerman was completely unscathed. And, Zimmerman was not treated like the average guy who's just been arrested, they didn't manhandle him when taking him into the police station. Zimmerman wasn't even limping.
This whole investigation is so dodgy .

It comes off as a bit self centred and attention seeking tbh. People are trying to make it about themselves so it will appear (to their tumblr friends) that they give a **** about a serious topic in the news.

This story makes me so sad. It's like a bad movie. The fact that I keep reading comments of people who support than man and defend him makes me sick to my stomach.
