re: #563 Targetpractice

OK here is the law..

(2) A law enforcement agency may use standard procedures for investigating the use of force as described in subsection (1), but the agency may not arrest the person for using force unless it determines that there is probable cause that the force that was used was unlawful.

So it doesn’t say anything about a judge needing to determine if an arrest can be made. It says the police need probable cause that the force used was unlawful. There was probable cause. They should have arrested Zimmerman and let him plead his case to someone else that his use of force was justified.
