And you are a "drama queen". I have not said anything regarding "sending him to prison".
What I DID state is that he is every bit as much a "thug" if not more than Martin.
And I DID state that when he was told not to follow, he should have followed the instructions of the dispatcher as opposed to not doing so.
As far as being a "stranger" in a gated community, since when does someone who is not a resident automatically become a "suspect" in committing a crime? Especially when no crime has taken place.
Did Zimmerman observe him looking at cars or loitering in front of a specific home? As far as we know neither happened.
I live in a gated community and we have a patrol service in cars that politely stop people who do.not reside there and ask them if they "need help".
Lastly, your damn right about "street justice" People who have his temperament usually end up on the receiving end of it.
If you don't like that, too bad.
1. If his Justified Self Defense shooting of Martin was declared falsely to NOT be justified, he would have been sent to prison.
2. Crimes had taken place. Martin fit the description of the suspect. Zimmerman reported that Martin was wandering around looking at houses.
3. Zimmerman was trying to help a Police Patrol come talk to Martin.
4. And your support of "Street Justice" for Zimmerman, based on your biased conclusion about his self defense shooting shows what type of person you are.
5. I don't like it. The Jury disagreed with you. Your type of racist support of violent thugs helped alienate white democrats to elect Donald Trump. If you don't like that, too bad.

The Cop Who Killed Walter Scott, Wasn’t Convicted Because Black Lives Don’t Matter
Scott, a father of four, was likely running away to avoid being arrested for not paying child support. He owed more than $18,000 and there was a bench warrant out for his arrest when the shooting occurred.
None of that matters. Running away from an officer and being behind in child support payments are not crimes punishable by death.
Unless you’re black.
What do I make out of all this? 1. Blacks don't vote so this kind of shit will keep happening until they become good citizens.
2. Black men need to start paying their child support
3. Black women need to stop having sex with guys like this.
A "physical altercation" puts people in a fight of flight mindset. From wikepedia it looks like a bad shooting.
That being said, we don't know why the jury couldn't return a verdict. 11 out of 12 jurors wanted to convict.
The cop is still facing Federal Charges, with the possibility of life in prison.
This isn't about blacks not voting.
If they don't like the outcomes of all these cases perhaps they need a more liberal government who has empathy towards the black community. Do you think Republicans have a problem with this shooting? They will try their hardest to justify it. They will defend the cop.

Look back and see who defended the cop after seeing this video. It was Republicans. They said the black guy shouldn't have run. True but is that cause to murder him? The cop lied.
Slager said during his trial that he felt “total fear” as Scott charged toward him. He also claimed that Scott had grabbed his Taser and intended to fire it. “I see him with a Taser in his hand as I see him spinning around,” Slager said. “That’s the only thing I see: that Taser in his hand.”
In fact, the video evidence does not show Scott with a Taser when he is killed ― it shows Slager dropping a Taser near Scott’s body after he is shot.
When pressed by the prosecutor to explain, Slager said, “I don’t remember everything that happened.” He says he was concerned that Scott was “running for some reason” and that he was “going to lose” in a struggle with Scott.
“I pulled my firearm, and I pulled the trigger,” said Slager. “I fired until the threat was stopped, like I’m trained to do.”
Slager’s allusion to the black man’s supposed physical strength and insistence that he was threatening him ― disputed by the video evidence ― demonstrates the officer’s fear of black masculinity and his perception that black people are inherently criminal.
This is also evident in Slager’s interview with South Carolina Law Enforcement Division agents soon after the shooting. Because Scott was on the phone, shouting out his location to someone on the other end, Slager said he worried that he would never see his family again. So he decided to take another man away from his.
The person on the line with Scott was his mother.

THe media has cried wolf so many times with "cop shoots unarmed black man" that it is natural for republicans to be suspicious. Blame liberals for that.
THat being said, this does look like a bad shoot.
Yes, republicans DO have a problem with people being shot if they are not an imminent threat.
What more blacks voting will get is NOT a government that is against random shootings of blacks by cops, (republicans are that) but a government that reflexively sides with the black and against the cop for political reasons.
The cop in this situation appears to have let the rush from the fight over come his training and procedure.
Your assumption that he would have reacted differently to a white guy he was in a fight with is unsupported. Whites who resist arrest get shot by cops also, sometimes unfairly.
Or this
Police have shot and killed a young black man (ages 18 to 29) — such as Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo. —175 times since January 2015; 24 of them were unarmed. Over that same period, police have shot and killed 172 young white men, 18 of whom were unarmed. Once again, while in raw numbers there were similar totals of white and black victims, blacks were killed at rates disproportionate to their percentage of the U.S. population. Of all of the unarmed people shot and killed by police in 2015, 40 percent of them were black men, even though black men make up just 6 percent of the nation’s population.
