Zimmerman wanted to be a cop, but apparently was too stupid to either pass their tests or perhaps even to apply in the first place. This is pretty pathetic if you think about it as the police give intelligence tests and you fail if you score too high (and no, I'm not kidding).
So basically what you have is a cop wannabe who is too stupid to be a cop, yet has more rights to use deadly force than the cops themselves, thanks to the state of Florida allowing fringe nut NRA/LaPierre to write their gun laws.
Who would have ever thought that one would turn out badly?
