First of all, Zimmerman deserved the asswhooping he got, because the cops, THE COPS, told him not to fuck with the dude. From the get go, he DISOBEYED A LAWFUL ORDER. Had he stayed back, he might not've had a whooped ass and be on trial now. He looks like he's gained about 100 lbs since committing the murder he did. His punk ass probably figured that since Trayvon was black that he could get a 'free' kill and get away with it.
Cops are supposed to be above and beyond pettiness with an arrestee. Yelling at a cop does NOT constitute nor validate their loss of control and ensuing excessive force. Hell, how often are the cops issuing WARNINGS to the suspects in these situations? "Sir/ma'am, calm down.", or, "This process will go better if you remain calm." or something of sort. These fuckers are losing control just as quickly or quicker than the suspects. They have low and even nonexistent tolerances. They're supposed to be 'the bigger man', and they're failing miserably.
The real issue seems to be that they have no concern for being right or being judged themselves, as in who's policing the policemen? They have that 'can't shit happen to me' attitude, and that needs to change.
Just getting fired CAN'T be enough justice. They need to be looking at jail time.

At that point, Trayvon came up and said something to the effect of "Do you have a problem?"
Prior to that, there had been no aggression. Trayvon was the alleged aggressor.
You go on to say that since Trayvon was black, Zimmerman probably looked at it as a free kill.
Perhaps, or maybe Trayvon's punk ass gangsta instincts kicked in and he smelled weakness and decided to attack whitey. Remember, Trayvon took great pride in posting on Facebook that he was a gangsta? Maybe he needed another notch in his belt?
If you look at the Jasper video, while it is hard to see what is going on, it does look as though she pulled away from the officer. In addition, it also look like she won't comply with his demands. She should have got her ass slammed. I hope after a hearing the cops get their jobs back.
