Did Zimmerman put hands on Martin first?

[Lee-Lee]

106. Long story

My military experience is Army Reserve, almost 20 years now. In a very non-combat MOS, admittedly.

As for why I left LE, a lot of things timed out. A new sheriff was elected, and here in NC all deputies serve at the will of the Sheriff, so he can hire and fire at will. He reorganized, let a lot of people go, hired some people he wanted on, and told me the only position now open for me was School Resource Officer.

I didn't want to do that, and my unit was deploying in 9 months. So they had money to bring some of us part timers in on order prior to the deployment. So I went ahead and quit, as I had another small agency that was going to hold my credentials, and stayed on active duty doing schools and admin work and such for most of the next 9 months, then we deployed.

But, right before I left to deploy the agency that was holding my credentials got a new chief who didn't like that the old one was doing lots of people favors and keeping them on the books- so I lost that, didn't have time to get a new agency to hold it, and by the time I got back between that and some other issues I was no longer current.

In retrospect I should have just taken the SRO job, then gone on military leave, and I would have been good. But I was pretty pissed because friends had been let go and I was being shuffled to a job I didn't want, so I made the wrong choice.
