Exclusive police video footage of Trayvon Martin shooter George Zimmerman in handcuffs after the killing shows he had no blood, no bruises, and no bandages.
After George Zimmerman shot Trayvon Martin, which he claimed was self-defense, he was brought to the police station in handcuffs.
Zimmerman claimed that he had been decked by Martin and killed Martin in self defense because Martin was pounding his head into the concrete.
The police arrest video shows no sign of injury. No blood, no bruises, no cuts on his head and no bandages.
While Florida does have the stand your ground law, in which one could justifiably shoot someone even if they weren’t physically attacking, the point here is the video shows that Zimmerman lied about what happened.
The police, despite massive nationwide protests and even pressure from Congress, have also failed to file charges against Zimmerman.
Instead the police have vouched for Zimmerman’s account and have even been accused of “correcting witness statements”
The video shows that incident did not happen as Zimmerman and the Police claim.
Instead of the lack of charges being due to a valid self-defense this all now appears to be part of a blatant coverup to let the son of a retired US Magistrate judge off the hook for murdering, as Zimmerman called him right before killing him, a “fucking coon”.
Updates from corporate media sites who are now picking upon the story.

Police video: George Zimmerman was in cuffs but not bloody
SANFORD, Fla. — Sanford police marched a handcuffed George Zimmerman into police headquarters the night he shot and killed Trayvon Martin, and a video shot by a security camera picked up no obvious sign of injury to the Neighborhood Watch volunteer.
The video debuted this evening on ABC‘sWorld News with Diane Sawyer.
Zimmerman shot and killed Trayvon, an unarmed black 17-year-old from Miami Gardens Feb. 26.
Police say Zimmerman told them he shot Trayvon in self-defense after the 6-foot high school junior punched him, got on top of him then began banging his head into a sidewalk.
Zimmerman was bleeding from his nose and back of his head, according to a police report, but the video, provided ABC News by the city of Sanford, shows no obvious sign of injury.

Trayvon’s father: Video shows Fla. shooter is lying
WASHINGTON – The family of slain Florida teenager Trayvon Martin said Wednesday that newly released police video showing the uncharged shooter George Zimmerman arriving at the station for questioning discredits claims he acted in self-defense.
“It just shows that everything that Zimmerman has been saying, that the police have been reporting, is false,” father Tracy Martin told USA TODAY as he viewed the video, carried by MSNBC, in a Washington hotel.
“From what I saw, Zimmerman had no blood on his face, had no grass on the back of his clothes, no cuts on the back of his head,” Martin said.

STORY: Trayvon Martin’s case turns into brandFamily attorney Benjamin Crump said the video is evidence that Zimmerman’s story is a lie and that officials botched their investigation the night of the shooting.
“You’re witnessing a conspiracy in the first degree,” Crump said. “If they don’t arrest this guy — there’s a conspiracy at this point.”
Trayvon Martin was talking on his cell phone when he was shot and killed in February.
Described as a police surveillance video taken the night that Trayvon was shot dead, Zimmerman, 28, is shown arriving at the Sanford, Fla., police station in a police car, exiting with his hands cuffed behind his back and being led to questioning. He is seen wearing a red-and-black jacket.

ABC news reports:
Trayvon Martin Video Shows No Blood or Bruises on George Zimmerman
A police surveillance video taken the night that Trayvon Martin was shot dead shows no blood or bruises on George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch captain who says he shot Martin after he was punched in the nose, knocked down and had his head slammed into the ground.
The surveillance video, which was obtained exclusively by ABC News, shows Zimmerman arriving in a police cruiser. As he exits the car, his hands are cuffed behind his back. Zimmerman is frisked and then led down a series of hallways, still cuffed.
Zimmerman, 28, is wearing a red and black fleece and his face and head are cleanly shaven. He appears well built, hardly the portly young man depicted in a 2005 mug shot that until a two days ago was the single image the media had of Zimmerman.
The initial police report noted that Zimmerman was bleeding from the back of the head and nose, and after medical attention it was decided that he was in good enough condition to travel in a police cruiser to the Sanford, Fla., police station for questioning.
His lawyer later insisted that Zimmerman’s nose had been broken in his scuffle with 17-year-old Martin.
In the video an officer is seen pausing to look at the back of Zimmerman’s head, but no abrasions or blood can be seen in the video and he did not check into the emergency room following the police questioning.
Zimmerman was not arrested although ABC News has learned that the lead homicide investigator filed an affidavit urging Zimmerman be charged with manslaughter. The prosecutor, however, told the officer to not file the charge because there was not enough evidence for conviction.
Zimmerman said he was heading back to his car when Martin attacked him. His lawyer, Craig Sonner, said his client felt “one of them was going to die that night,” when he pulled the trigger.
Martin’s girlfriend, who was on the phone with him in his final moments, told ABC News in an exclusive interview that she has not been interviewed by police, despite Martin telling her he was being followed.
The 16-year-old girl, who is only being identified as DeeDee, recounted the final moments of her conversation with Martin before the line went dead.
“When he saw the man behind him again he said this man is going to do something to him. And then he said this man is still behind him and I said run,” she said.
Phone records obtained by ABC News show that the girl called Martin at 7:12 p.m., five minutes before police arrived, and remained on the phone with Martin until moments before he was shot.
DeeDee said Martin turned around and asked Zimmerman why he was following him.
“The man said what are you doing around here?” DeeDee recalled Zimmerman saying.
She said she heard someone pushed into the grass before the call was dropped.
Zimmerman, who had called 911, was asked by the dispatcher if he was following the teen. When Zimmerman replied that he was, the dispatcher said, “We don’t need you to do that.”
