So the latest story is they didn't "discover" his nose was broken until the next day:
Oliver also said it was discovered the next day that Zimmerman's nose was broken.

my question is, how did they come to that conclusion? did he go to a doctor? do they have an x-ray? doctor's report? I don't think people can just "discover" that their nose is broken the day after an incident on their own, without getting this information from a doctor, who would have records of the visit to the doctor's office and the medical records thereof.
Otherwise it sounds to me like they just made it up.
Hey, come to think of it, I think my nose is broken. It happened yesterday. Really. Trust me.

(2,657 posts)Second of all. Okay IF the cops did "Clean him up at the scene" I'll give you that arguement for 1 second THAN answer me these questions:
So did the cops allow Zimmerman to change his clothes? IF they didn't How come there is no BLood on his clothes like you would expect to see from at the very least a broken nose?
Where are the grass stains?
Where is the broken and nose and bruises? I asked a friend of mine who use to be an emt in the military. He said the standard procedure to pack his nose. He's able to stand with his mouth clothes and IF there was something in his nose how is he breathing with his mouth close?
