It wouldn’t have been an issue.
We might not even have heard about the “shooting of an unarmed teen”.

I predict the unionized policeman will get thorough support from the Holder Justice Department.

Every time the cops shoot a WHITE person, the “justice” department does nothing.

Because if it were a black policeman, the ‘teens’ would not have refused to get out of the way, onto the sidewalk.

Hey Holder, do you know how many blacks are murdered by blacks each week in Chicago? Why no Federal investigation there? I think your boss used the phrase “Horse sh*t”. That phrase should apply to you.

not happening now due to death threats, that is not going to go over well. The locals already think the police are hiding something, this just makes it worse.

I think the most dangerous time for George Zimmerman will be the period just before the election, if Obama and Holder think that announcing a prosecution of Zimmerman will ramp up enthusiasm for voting on the part of their base.
