Just so you know, police dispatcher's don't have the authority to give orders to American citizens. The dispatcher gave Zimmerman advice which Zimmerman had no responsibility to follow. Zimmerman had every right to shadow a person he considered suspicious. Zimmerman did not accost Martin, Martin accosted and then assaulted Zimmerman. Martin had zero right to attack Zimmerman and Zimmerman had every right to preserve his own life from Martin's attack by ending the deadly attack with deadly force.

The police let Zimmerman go after the murder and would never have charged him without a public outcry. Zimmermans father was a judge. But he still can’t seem to stay out of trouble.

A few weeks after the acquittal, in July 2013, Zimmerman was pulled over for speeding in northern Texas.

He apparently had a firearm in the glove compartment of a vehicle, prompting an officer to tell him, “Don’t play with your firearm, OK?”

He was sent on his way with a warning.

In November of that year, police took him into custody at his then-girlfriend’s home in Apopka, Florida, after an apparent fight.

He was arrested on aggravated assault and misdemeanor counts of domestic violence battery and criminal mischief, but the woman later asked that the charges be dropped and Zimmerman was not prosecuted.

Then, in January, he was arrested on another domestic violence complaint after he allegedly threw a wine bottle at a girlfriend, his lawyer Don West told reporters at the time. She later recanted and charges were never filed, CNN affiliate WESH reported.
