Video: Did the media already try Zimmerman?

>>> the marches and rally calling for trayvon martin are not letting up. what is being called a hoodie march in harrisburg, pennsylvania, and the naacp is holding a march in front of the sanford police department tomorrow morning. joining me now, contributor toure. ron allen brought up in his live shot, it is not until april 10th that the grand jury will convene. there is a worry that this could die down in those days.

>> i see the opposite happening. this is bubbling hotter and hotter. we have both seen black people 's rage about this is only growing. but the other side is being emboldened by the stories that are coming out that are trying to support george zimmerman . things like the robert zimmerman interview last night where he is allowed to say multiple prevarications unchecked, unchallenged, uncontested. things that are obviously made, clearly untrue by this videotape of george into the police department . clearly uninjured. there is no broken nose there.

>> you're referring to robert zimmerman , for the folks who don't know, robert zimmerman is the brother of george zimmerman . he gave this interview saying he claims his brother told him. however, following the interview, the attorney for george zimmerman says the two have not spoken in years and that he was just trying to get on television.

>> so there is that. that they haven't spoken in years. even if the story might be true, even if he got it from george . he is repeating george zimmerman 's story.

>> we think. again, the attorney representing george zimmerman said they have not spoken. and that is guy who is in contact with the china every day.

>> if george zimmerman himself is trying to say, we were in a fight. the person who walks into the sanford police department in that video clearly was not in a fight. he clearly did not get his nose broken. he did not have his head bashed against the concrete. we're spreading this as misinformation as people who want to believe george zimmerman for some reason or want to believe against trayvon for some reason are believing. and we're seeing more and more of them feel emboldened to challenge the narrative we're trying to assert. an unarmed innocent black boy was murdered. we're having this powder keg rise over this boiling pot, rise up. and it's getting meaner and meaner and more of a fevered pitch on both sides. i haven't seen anything like this in america in terms of a racialized battle start dividing line, since owning. that was a comedy compared to this.

>> it is interesting. you say this. we both participated in the rock center special where we were asked our thoughts on racial profiling and life as an african-american. i never usually read anything people say about me. that's just a good habit. i made that mistake and a couple people said, why are you whining? outside of wanting to say choice words. i was stymied in a way that anyone would see it as whining that you present what happens in your life. it is a fact of my life. i don't care if you believe it or not. it is a fact of my life. to indicate that we were whining for talking about race and the question of race in this case to be determined, hopefully in a court of law. and that is seen as whining.

>> and also the idea, the fact that we are talking about race is forwarding racism. that is make have the racial divisions worse. we're not trying to race bait, whatever that means. we're talking about our lives and the difficulties that we have going through our lives and situations that are sort of a cousin or a molecule of trayvon martin went through. somebody targeting him. we go into a store. you know, those are related incidents. no such thing as an isolated incident.

>> you talk about how this is being played out in the media. the other interesting thing is for african- american journalists , the perception that because you are black, you are unable to be fair and look at both sides of the story. and there are two sides to this story. whether you accept one version or not. and you pointed out that the anger for african-americans boiling. i get tweets from white viewers, hispanic viewers all day long who are also outraged. the person who started this movement online was a white person . so the anger is on both sides. but to believe that you can't be fair because you are black.

>> and that is a racist perception. obviously we can be fair. if the george zimmerman team was presenting a consistent case, as kendall coffey pointed out, they are not presenting it. then maybe we would have more of an argument. we need more he can wantiment. they are not presenting a credible case. ooze especially when you see george zimmerman walking into the police department clearly uninjured. clearly unbloodied. how can we believe that he was in a fight?

>> his attorney says that video is not clear. he says it is grainy. many have pointed out, which we see on tape, the officer looking at the back of george zimmerman 's head there. but what we also know is, if nothing else, this entire situation was botched and the question is why was it handled in this way.

>> it is dangerous for america, the way we're doing this as a trial in the media with the whole nation as the jury, and sort of having this evidence come up piece by piece .

>> that would be the fault of the police department and the investigators. these were why these leaks have happened. including the leak about trayvon being suspended. that was a leak from a source within the police department which adds to the fuel.

>> irrelevant information.
