If you believe Zimmerman, he was walking back to his truck when

It is up to the state to prove that is wrong.
Obviously he did not go for his gun right away or he would not have a
broken nose and head injuries.

I am surprised at his discipline in that he only fired one shot.
The cops in that kind of situation do a magazine dump spraying the
neighborhood.

That certainly bodes well for stationing cops at schools or, even
worse, those with even less firearms training than cops.

I am not convinced cops really get that much firearm training unless
they are on a tactical team. That is why there was standing orders
that cops wait outside in an active shooter situation. They wanted
SWAT to make the entry.

Of course after watching the FBI hostage rescue team in action, I am
not sure I want them coming either.

Yeah, you are doing a typical job of sitting on the fence but the fact
is, we need somebody. For better or worse, weather they can execute or
not, cops get the best training of any group I can think of, on how to
handle weapons in domestic situations such as this...
