FORNEY, Texas (AP) — Police in a Dallas suburb say they stopped George Zimmerman for speeding.
Forney police say Zimmerman was stopped Sunday while driving west on U.S. 80, about 20 miles east of Dallas. A Florida jury recently acquitted Zimmerman in the fatal shooting of unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin.
A police dashcam video released Wednesday shows an officer speaking to Zimmerman and recognizing him.
The video shows the officer asking Zimmerman to close his glove compartment and saying, "Don't play with your firearm." The officer returned to his patrol car with Zimmerman's driver's license to check for outstanding warrants. He later returned the license, instructed Zimmerman to slow down and released him with a warning.
A spokesman for Zimmerman's legal team says he's baffled that a traffic stop would become national news.
CHP would have issued a gigantic ticket and if he had a firearm in the glove box, off to the pokey.
Your collective inability to acknowledge this obvious truth makes you all look like fools.

I thought that Hispanic is a language group, but what do I know? By extrapolation one would come to the conclusion that all Hispanics that are not black would in turn be white. Is that not the vast majority Hispanics?
Soon, I’ll post my farewell message. The end is starting to get close. There are many misconceptions about me, and before I go, to live with my ancestors on the steppes, I want to set the record straight.
