35. except Martin had no idea whether he was an authority figure

Actually, it makes it worse for Zimmerman since he WASN'T an authority figure but acted like one without rules and never told Martin he was the neighborhood watch dude.

Had Zimmerman actually followed his training by staying in his car and not think he was an authority figure when he wasn't by pursuing Martin or even at least told him that he was neighborhood watch when he had the chance none of this would have happened.
