That is pretty rough, and only fuels the claims that Trayvon's family is making about falsified police reports, and police strong-arming witnesses and paramedics into giving false statements. I think it's a bit more logical to believe his 'wounds' weren't visible on a security camera, rather than a grand conspiracy conducted by police in collaboration with George Zimmerman against black people. But who knows.

We know that Zimmerman shot Trayvon, that is an undisputed fact. What is in dispute is if it's self defense, and that's something that's up to the defense to prove not the cops. Therefore he should be arrested for shooting Trayvon, which we know he did. .

Except that's not how it works.
Police initially arrested and interrogated Zimmerman, but ruled it self defense based on evidence and witnesses. Whether this was a fuck up by the police department, or due to facts the public is unaware of remains to be seen. This was challenged, so Zimmerman was issued a grand jury indictment, which is on April 10th. There it is decided whether or not there is enough evidence to bring this to trial and charge Zimmerman. I think they only hear the prosecutions side, though.

I never said anything about that. You guys were talking about how he is a thug and a gangster and I was just pointing out that just because the victim was black, doesn't mean he was a hoodlum.

But one mentioned that he was a hoodlum because he was black? I guess it's wrong to be judging people by the content of their character now as well...
