I agree with your assertion Zimmerman was a wannabe cop. That, however, does not excuse him from his actions.
Please recall a 9-11 operator told him not to get out of his car and not to pursue a person he suspected. But to wait and let the real police do that.
Zimmerman decided he knew better than the trained professionals and took matters into his own hands. We all know how well that worked out.
Vigilante justice is rarely fair. But that's what Zimmerman exercised. His obviously flawed interpretation of the situation caused the death of an innocent person. Now there is a dead child. In any fair court Zimmerman would be convicted and sentenced to at least life with no parole.
