Zimmerman......"...and since that incident, I have not been arrested"

[kpete]

(i had not seen this before, kpete)

According to a records search on George, he was previously arrested for domestic violence, resisting an officer without violence and most shockingly, resisting an officer with violence — a felony charge that surely could have landed him in prison.

All three of those arrests, however, were mysteriously closed with no semblance of charges for the Florida resident. So how was someone with a violent past including that of battery against an officer able to carry a 9 mm handgun?

1. Well - I think that confirms the "Cop Wannabee" story!

Good one!

[janx]

9. It certainly does. I saw this online earlier today.

And the thing that really angers me is that I have an acquaintance who wanted to be a cop for years, was very smart, had to get into excellent physical shape, and study constantly. But he finally realized his goal. He's a very active campus cop for now but will be going to the academy this summer. I couldn't be happier for him--he's smart, trustworthy, funny, etc.. I was so happy to see him in his cop regalia with a smile on his face.

He is now and will be an excellent law enforcement officer.

Compare that to the crap I'm reading about currently. It's inexcusable.

2. follow daddy's power and money

4. This thread is doing a good job of just that....

Looks like the Grandfather was a company man from WAYYYYY back.

[riverwalker]

8. wow..

I missed that one. This info should have exposure. Thanks for posting it again. Did not know this.

[freshwest]

3. He was certainly banking on mom and dad, too.

[tularetom]

5. In other words

"Your old man is a big shot with some connections to the politicians who approve our budget so we have to humor you. Therefore we're letting you into this bullshit class for cop wannabes who will probably wind up in mall security.

But there is no fucking chance in hell that you are ever going to get a job in any law enforcement agency because you're an unstable bigot with some serious anger issues, even worse than the rest of us. You could get our asses sued big time, so just go and do your little neighborhood watch thing and pretend you are a cop. But don't hurt anybody."

[nadinbrzezinski]

6. But, but, but he had, well dad, had zero connections

And this only happens in other places.

Personally I don't think grand daddy connections to the company had anything to do with this...red herring.

We need to start looking for dad's relationships, I mean high, in chamber of commerce/ republican party organizations. I suspect daddy is well plugged in to the local ruling elite.

[janx]

11. Agreed--red herring, probably. n/t

[zeemike]

13. So you don't think that privilege and power can be passed to the next generation.

If that were true George Bush would never have been president...or Jeb Governor.or GHW bush president.
I don't think that is the case.
Robert Zimmerman was a military man just like his father...and I would bet you he was doing CIA business in his military career because his father was big in it...and that gave him a leg up in the business.

[nadinbrzezinski]

14. Yes, but this looks like something local

Where dad is extremely well connected to the local power structure. That is what George used in his application, daddy is a judge you know, not grand daddy was a company man. His father probably used grand dad's. That is how it actually works.

Regardless George is protected by local ruling elite, which is mostly republican. The party decides who runs. Remember that when looking for what name is dropped.

Now if George wanted to join the company, that is where his grandfather would really matter, same for NSA.

[zeemike]

17. I see your point

But big power is the source of the little power often...If you have connections they can extend down as well as out.
And in Florida you have a state where many of them go to retire...just like Robert Zimmerman...and so there were plenty there who shared the same experiences.
There is a reason Robert Zimmerman did not want his face shown...and if it were just local political connections that would not be a problem.

[nadinbrzezinski]

18. Except that was a local

Tv station

Oh and I forgot, there s a valid reason to cover face. The family fears physical retribution. What about the brother? We know his son went on tv. There is money, each appearance on the cables is money...brother cashed in...caching!

[zeemike]

19. And and even more valid reason if Robert was and operative

for the company.
Seeing his face on TV would not lead some nut to him...they could I suppose bump into him somewhere but what are the odds?
And don't you think that the brothers would have gotten paid just the same if they did block their face?
Nope I think daddy has something to hide...but I suppose we will never know because no one will look.
Plus he retired in Virginia...and the pattern is that when you are about to retire you go somewhere you have pull so you can double dip...plus it said his mother worked in Virginia for 20 years...that means the family was there before he retired from the military....and Manassas is less than 20 miles from Langley and about the same from Quantico...
But I know I am cynical...but I have reasons to be.

7. "...and since that incident I have not been arrested?" Nope, he's right. He has NOT been arrested

In fact, he gets to kill, and STILL is not arrested.

10. "...hold law enforcement officers in the highest regaurd as I one day hope..."

"...to become one."

Wannabe Cop.

Asshole Wannabe Cop.

Racist Asshole Wannabe Cop.

15. How many times has George been taken into custody?

His "official" arrest record may only be incidents that were documented.

[Blue Owl]

16. He's got a freeper's spelling prowess

"immediatly"

"regaurd"

[K Gardner]

20. Notice how he blames the victim in rationalizing his assault on a police

officer by citing another incident where "an officer was killed because someone didn't identify themselves". (paraphrased)
So, he's basically saying he was justified in his action because in another totally unrelated incident, an officer did the same thing that made him do what he did.

Twisted mister. And, of course, he relies heavily on mommy and daddy. sick.

[bigtree]

21. interesting

. . . parallels in the story he told about the officer not identifying himself and being attacked by him (and also the additional story of the policeman that was killed in a similar circumstance). At least we know from this that he's aware of the risks inherent in the dangerous, threatening, tragic behavior he engaged in that night -- and he's not even an officer of the law.
