re: #37 Slumbering Behemoth Stinks

I’m not trying to defend this ugly clusterfuck, but do you have a credible link for that?

The officer told the witness, a long-time teacher, it was Zimmerman who cried for help, said the witness. ABC News has spoken to the teacher and she confirmed that the officer corrected her when she said she heard the teenager shout for help.

This is just the most flagrant kind of inappropriate behavior. Not only is it professional misconduct for a police officer to tamper or in any way try to steer a witness’s recollection or testimony, but for a cop, an authority figure to actually correct a witness during questioning, to tell them that what they said isn’t right, because it doesn’t line up with someone else’s account constitutes witness tampering, and possibly intimidation.

It’s just so wrong, so deeply and utterly the opposite of proper police work that I basically have to believe that there was an overt agenda at play.
