Zimmerman is a wannabe police officer rejected by the police. He's trolling, looking to start shit, and armed. He was on the neighborhood watch and claims he knows everyone, yet no one knew him at all him and he doesn't seem to know the name of the tree streets in his complex.
He got punched in the face and shot and killed someone.

Yes...at one time...in years past...Zimmerman applied to become a police officer and apparently changed his mind or he probably would have jumped on this...testified by...
state witness Wendy Dorival.
Wendy Dorival, who coordinated the local Neighborhood Watch Program for the Sanford Police Department, thought so highly of Zimmerman that she tried to recruit him to be a “Citizen on Patrol,” in which he would be supplied with a police department issued patrol car and a uniform of sorts. In sharp contrast to the State’s repeated characterization of Zimmerman as a “wannabe” cop who went over the edge in his pursuit, confrontation, and shooting of Martin, Ms. Dorival regretfully stated that Zimmerman had declined the offer.
In addition Professor Scott Pleasant testified that Zimmerman had told him his career goals were to become an attorney and then a State prosecutor.
Notice "attorney then a prosecutor"...so apparently he no longer wanted to be a police officer.
