As presented in court, he applied to be a police officer and was turned down.
Zimmerman is clearly overbearing - instead of reporting a suspicious person to the police, instead of following the directions of the 911 operator, he got out of the car and followed him which resulted in Martin feeling threatened.
He is not "mild mannered" - He had a restraining order against him, he assaulted a police officer, and attended court ordered anger management. That is not mild mannered at all.
Martin may have confronted Zimmerman - But Zimmerman forced the confrontation by following the kid and then getting out of his car to follow him more.
Zimmerman followed the kid, there was a confrontation, Martin acted in self defense, Zimmerman shot him even though his life was not in danger.
