They'll spend over five grand before the trial on working with people rallying to try and influence Zimmerman's proceedings, but after they wont lift a fucking finger when it came to the riots and violent attacks on bystanders by people seeking "justice". If their job is to "keep the peace" involving political rallies and such, then they've done a piss poor job.
The political stain in this situation is pretty fucking apparent. Five thousand dollars, minus whatever was spent in salary, spent supporting public pressure on Florida State officials to put Zimmerman away, zero dollars spent on ensuring Zimmerman was, oh I don't know, not slandered in the media, or sent death threats, or at the very least; not coming dangerously close to stepping all over Double Jeopardy by seizing Zimmerman's firearm without cause, before opening a separate federal inquiry on a crime outside of Federal jurisdiction. They haven't actually charged him with anything, because they don't have any evidence, but apparently the Federal government can now seize your private property if they "suspect" you did something with it.
This is scary shit, that goes way beyond a street scuffle. This is a serious overstepping of bounds and abuse of a system that is meant to protect people's rights, not just people the government finds it advantageous to throw their support behind.
