George Zimmerman!! You are why I dislike cops and hate wannabe cops! R.I.P Trayvon

It would imprudent of me not to comment on the totally foreseen not guilty judgement handed down in the George Zimmerman case.

I decided to wait until much of the hype died down and the country had time to digest the decision. I guess because I am a skeptic, with very good reason, I felt that Zimmerman would get "off."





It's the same American narrative. Black man, in this case child, get's killed by white man, white man goes to trial, jury decides that his reasons for murder are justifiable, white man is sipping margaritas in the sun while black man rots in his grave. It has happened time and time again in America and I don't care if you believe that racism is dead because we have President Obama or Oprah Winfrey. The truth is the truth.

However, the one thing that really bothers me is that in many cases the murderers are police officers. It seems that the police can rob, kill, steal, and lie with impunity. This guy was a wannabe cop. This killer was an underpaid, run of the mill, non-competitive (In every sense of the term),  neighborhood watch security guard. I know, I know this evidence shows that this 17 year old black child was beating the puppy doo doo out of Zimmerman's pathetic butt. Good for you Trayvon!!!

For all of the people that don't have to reach or imagine discrimination but have actually lived it, you understand. A wannabe cop that wants some power to push people around, the kind of guy that gets his butt beat by a little kid, the kind of guy that murders that child because he did not expect for the child to defend himself. ALL black men understand. You are being followed by a rent a cop that has the nerve to question you. You are on your way home and this punk has the nerve to ask you anything. So you just keep eating your Skittles and call your girlfriend to tell her about the punk that just approached you. That said punk calls the police and the police tell him to back off. The wannabe cop says, "Hell No" I can take this little kid. The wannabe cop follows the kid and the kid commences to beat the rent a cop down. The wannabe cop is defeated and screaming and resorts to shooting and murdering the child.

I hate you Zimmerman! I hate the jury! The jury was incompetent and no cajonas to do the right thing. I knew just because of the so called 'evidence' that Zimmerman would get off. Every single Black man in America had some sort of inkling that he would get off. Why? Because America does not value the life of a Black man. Trayvon had every right to be where he was, had every right to defend himself against a stranger, and he knew that this wannabe cop was a punk because they always are.

The jury could not find anything illegal about what Zimmerman did. In a country where Black men were murdered for looking white men in the eye, I guess he didn't do anything wrong. After all, the little black boy was beating the crap out of this grown man. The grown man felt threatened, feared for his life, thought he was going to die! What was going on in Zimmerman's mind? "I wish that I would have just let this kid go home, now I'm getting my butt kicked. Well, I have to shoot the monkey before he beats me to death." That is not illegal in Florida.

Welcome to the United States of America. Racism is dead here. Look we have a Black President, that Oprah lady, and all those millionaire basketball players. You can still kill a black man, as long as you fear for your life, and it might be wrong but perfectly legal!
