If it is the latter - is it against the law to walk up to somebody in your neighbodhood you don't know and ask them what they are doing? If you're minding your own business walking through a different neighborhood - it's reported in some places TM didn't live there but was visiting - and someone questions you with something like "Hey man, you live around here?" is it within your right to say "F Off"?
So I'm sure the police are going through the time line and locations covering the period between the call and the time "John" sees Z on the ground with TM on top.
You would think it would be simple but there are numerous variations of the same story floating around out there - Z on "duty", Z just driving, Z in truck following, Z on foot following - on and on and on.
I think the only ones with a good idea right now are the police doing the investigation - and the first indication of how it's going to go is right after it's presented to the Grand Jury.
No matter what - lots of people are going to be upset.

I am just hoping no one goes Rodney King after the verdict.
