If there had been a first contact that involved conversation, it doesn't appear on the recording of Z with dispatch. I wonder if Serino is planting a BS story with the family - stirring the pot if you will. Or did Z give a different version?
A police detective told the father of Florida teenager Trayvon Martin that his son initiated two confrontations with the neighborhood watch volunteer who fatally shot him. ...Trayvon Martin walked up to Zimmerman's vehicle and asked why he was following him. Zimmerman denied following the youth and rolled up the car window. Minutes after Trayvon walked away, Zimmerman got out of his vehicle.
To square this away with the recorded call, this encounter would have happened (minutes) before Z called dispatch.
The length of time on the recorded call has TM in sight for a good 30 seconds, staring, getting closer, hands in waistband, staring some more, then run. Is all this a pure fabrication by Z?
To explain why I think of his remarks as "stirring the pot," in his meeting with the 13 yo witness's mother, he suggests that Z was driven by profiling - that he was seeking evidence of that, or otherwise catching Z in a lie.
[Serino] told me that he and the other officer with him felt that it was not self-defense and that they needed to prove it wasn't self-defense. And he said that I needed to read between the line because there was some stereotyping going on.... I took it to mean that he felt that George Zimmerman committed this crime based on whether it's stereotyping or racial profiling or whatever you want to call it. But those were his words. Stereotyping.
Need to "read between the lines." Otherwise known as pull out of thin air.
Well, I posted earlier that I really am not concerned about the father’s account of a policeman’s account of somebody else’s account. I replied to you in another post about the “two encounters.”
