None of these issues has anything to do with whether or not they arrested Zimmerman (and he was detained an interviewed for 4-5 hours...a fact left out most of the time).

Yet, because he wasn't charged there are racial implications that we need to focus on that don't need to be focused on in other cases because someone was arrested and charged?
People twist things any way they want. My point is, that had Zimmerman been arrested, or ran and hunted for by the police, we never would have heard about this.
