56. It could also explain how he got those officer assault charges dropped.

Zimmerman was previously arrested for assaulting an officer. As I learned on Rachel Maddow, it's where that ubiquitous faceshot of him in the orange jumpsuit comes from.

Apparently he shoved a police officer at a bar near the University of Central Florida in 2005. Then, a month later, a woman accused Zimmerman of domestic violence and had an injunction filed against him.

Ok, it is a disgusting fact that beating up on a woman in this country doesn't always land you in jail

, but since when is shoving a cop ever blown off?
