That is something I’ve wondered a lot about too. The kid was on his way home, was pretty close to being there. I wonder if it began with huge mutual mistrust and suspicion that went horribly wrong with a firearm involved, that something, a misunderstanding, a miscommunication, a look, a tone, just seeing the gun, who knows, and then things just escalated without either realizing until it was too late how bad. It is just awful to think about.
Here we go. Here’s a link to the enhanced video.
Ya, thanks. I had to watch Obama propaganda about the ACA before watching it…
Sorry, I can’t do anything about that.Ya, thanks. I had to watch Obama propaganda about the ACA before watching it…
Sorry, I did not see it…there are an incredible number of posts to this thread!!
The clearer video is obvious that he has injuries on the back of his head.
Yep.
Those arguing about the location he was at on the ground, concrete vs. grass, should understand that it could have been both.
Just watched the video and appear to be two linear cuts on the back of his scalp. Would like to see what the medical reports say.
Fearing for his life is not the final determinant; it could simply mean he was getting whupped by someone fearing for his life. While there is no law against following someone, if this turns out to just have been a fight between the two, which George won, I’m afraid his instigation of the whole encounter would make the fight his fault.
They will say something along the lines of, “treated lacerations to the back of patients head”.
Oh, there is lots a medical report can say to tell us how severe the trauma might have been AND possibly even what caused it.
If it is a firefighter run report, it will only contain objective description of the actual wounds themselves and what was done for treatment. Firefighters and EMTs aren’t allowed to speculate on the cause of the injury, although they can document what the patient says or what bystanders say about the injury. Their purpose isn’t to validate these stories. If the patient says “Some guy was banging my head against the ground”, they have to document that. It is the police investigator’s job to verify statements.
i agree.
seriously, i love it. always wanted to tell you that.I have not seen this, but will look. This is in sharp contrast to the audio editing of Zimmerman’s call to 911 by NBC. And this is supposed to be a news organization?
I watched a guy get run over on his motorcycle, the EMT documented the injuries to pass along to the flight crew. The police officer gathered detailed statements about what happened. Whether he includes a copy of the EMTs report I don’t know. But he didn’t even look at the guy that got hit.
Right. Police to fact gathering as to cause. Medical personnel only gather information that is relevant to the injuries.
You don’t have to speculate on the cause of an injury for your description to indicate whether or not the injury is consistent with the reported mode and severity of injury. He reportedly sought medical care the next day also, so that should be two descriptions by medical personnel.
I’m glad Z’s head injury is clearly visible on this enhanced video, but I think the media’s questioning in the first place was unethical and yet another example of their efforts to create controversy. If there’s a police report saying that Z had a broken nose and head injury that was treated by the paramedics on the scene, the media should have accepted that report regardless of whether Z’s injuries were visible on the surveillance video.
the law appears to have been working fine close to 7 yrs now and no matter what the law, there will always be one judge that distorts the intent. i think the radio bag case will be overturned. i don’t know. i have a book on gun laws and i’m trying to understand (not easy!) but so far, i don’t see a problem with the law at all. go ahead and call me nuts, it wouldn’t be the first time.
