Florida Cop Amused By Trayvon Martin's Skittle Purchase

Nobody is perfect. I have a tendency to insert a giggle when I don't mean one.  Primarily because I'm a happy person, but it's also a verbal tic that I have fought since junior high.  So when I saw this story, I was skeptical.   Was this cop amused, or just unsure of how to proceed and made the wrong sound?

Listen for yourself.  The Smoking Gun was kind enough to put it up for us to hear.

The Smoking Gun plays the audio, and there is no quick giggle-sound.  There is "hahahaha" laughing about this man being the one who sold the "famous Skittles" to Martin.  By a policeman who should have been showing the proper gravity for the death of a young man under suspicious circumstances.  A policeman who had no reason to be making light of why he was speaking with the clerk in the first place.

During the interview, the clerk was asked about the sale of the "famous Skittles" by an investigator named David, who chuckled upon finishing his question. The question was met by laughs by several other individuals present for the interview (a group that included two of the clerk’s family members and a second investigator). The 7-Eleven clerk, however, apparently was not among the group chortling.

That's because the clerk has more class and good taste than a freaking cop.

I'm pissed off all over again.
