I'm just not inclined to entertain Zoe's attempts at defending the cops and victim blaming the boy.
Its provocative

I'm not defending the cops. How could they have ID'd him?

By posting non seqiturs that make no sense? Using logic and having a reasonable discussion about smartphones in 2012 doesn't mean that one is defending the cops overall actions. Don't go off the rails.

Announced to who?

No reason they couldn't have asked neighbors either. Yeah god forbid Zoe the fucking cops ask around about it. Oh wait he couldn't have possibly lived there right?

No reason they couldn't have had DNA analysis within 30 minutes either. I saw it on Bones.

Really? A kid is dead, they don't ask around, you compare this to DNA sampling? Reaching much?
Zoe

On no, that wouldn't be traumatizing at all to other parents whose kids were out for the night.
Are you really comparing asking neighbors about the identification of a teenage boy to a fictional DNA analysis on a TV show? Really?

No, I'm saying of all of the incredibly justified criticisms of this police department, we don't have to manufacture nonsense when there is a plethora of subpar to outright incompetent and or deliberate cover up to attack. You are getting nuts, but that's typical for you.

He wasn't a resident. His father wasn't even a resident. Was the father even aware the shooting had taken place?.

That is not how police work is suppossed to work.
Umm...
The key word is "corrected."
You don't correct a witness ever
If they were not eye-witnesses, you can.

The police weren't there when the events transpired. They aren't suppossed to 'correct' the witnesses. They are suppossed to interview them, and see which witnesses are more reliable.

No. You take witness testimonies as they are presented and compare them will all the other testimonies and evidence later.
His fiance was. Why would it even matter when the police wouldn't know this information that we have available now? They wouldn't know if he was a resident or not regardless, unless he had his ID. It's funny how all of your posts in this thread have been to blame Trayvon for his death or go against anything that would cast a negative light on zimmerman or the police department.

Then what is your solution to IDing him? Let's assume his phone was unavailable.
If the police weren't there, who do you think they're going to look for first? The eyewitness. The witnesses who have only heard screaming cannot make a proper identification.

It's been a puzzling question since we found out they had access to his phone and his calls but never bothered using it to identify him.
You have no idea what you're talking about.
Zoe

When did they gain access to his phone and calls?
Seriously, I can't believe how many clueless people are on this thread.
Try this way.
EYEWITNESS:
Eyewitness: "I heard the man on the bottom screaming for help."
NON-EYEWITNESS
Witness: "I heard someone screaming for help"
Police: "Did you see who was screaming for help."
Witness: "No, but it sounded like a boy. I think it was the person who got shot."
Like I said, the key word is "corrected."
Do you get it?
It can't be that difficult to understand. I'm not talking about evidence in general, I'm talking about a Witness being corrected.
How can this woman claim it was Trayvon crying for help when she did not see the actual event?
If you can come up with an logical answer, then do it.. Right now, it appears that you don't.

If you're going to ignore Devolution's post on police investigative guidelines and continue pushing this crap you really don't deserve to be posting here, let alone having anyone respond to you.
You're a complete joke.

Are you trolling? You must be. I mean, calling us clueless all while posting some retarded shit.
Read what I'm saying, I said correcting a Witness. She cannot identify his voice because she did not see the actual event.
If you had common sense, you should know that the woman's testimony is still considered evidence, especially if the eyewitnesses is proved to be untrustworthy.
In other words, you cannot defend your initial argument, and now you're resorting to personal attacks. Nice try.

KodMoS has to just be trolling us at this point. lol
lol
.........
seriously your post is void of any kind of logic.
Wait, we find out the eyewitness isn't exactly trustworthy, everyone elses testimony contradicts his/hers, but good thing we corrected all those non eyewitnesses.
Corroboration, how doe sit work?
