@Advocate,
No, Advocate, it was the conclusion of the police investigation that this was a needless and avoidable death had Zimmerman stayed in his vehicle and not followed Martin.
They did not think he should have followed Martin--the police neither needed nor wanted his help.
They further faulted Zimmerman for not defusing the situation by his failure to identify himself to Martin.
You don't want to accept the truth. This was a needless and avoidable death.
Martin was a victim of Zimmerman's racial profiling, his anger, his poor judgment, and his lack of impulse control. The kid wasn't bothering anyone, he was minding his own business, and, had Zimmerman not stalked him, he would have gotten home safely.
And Zimmerman has continued to display his anger, his poor judgment, and his lack of impulse control, since his acquittal--resulting in two 911 calls about his behavior, which included an assault of his father-in-law, and culminated in another arrest.
