Did they "laugh and smoke" with you afterwards?

Of course not. They rolled up and saw that I had the suspect at gunpoint

They then from the safety of being behind their vehicles demanded that I place the weapon on the ground and move away and lay face down on the ground. I followed instructions to the letter.

There was several weapons aimed at me so I was not going to play it cute

Using their swarm tactic they rushed me and cuffed me. I told them that the crime scene had started about a block away and to send a car over to that location. I also told them not to let the person I had fired at get away and detain him

To be sure the person I had fired at was acting very aggressive and was not afraid of me even though I held the weapon. His moves were towards me even though I was backing up and telling him to stop right there and wait for the police. All this time I was on my cell talking to the dispatcher.

And when I first dialed 911 I got an "All lines are busy due to the volume of calls" message

It was then when I could not get through that I realized that chasing this guy was not such a good idea after all. And the suspect was hearing the conversation and that was making him emboldened. It was a very scary situation.

Still I knew that I had the weapon and I knew that if I used the proper tactics I would survive the situation.

And I DID survive without taking a life. The guy I was holding at gunpoint was a two strikes guy and his property crime against me went down as his third strike. He had nothing to lose fighting me for possession of my weapon

So this thing with Zimmerman does not add up when you look at it closely. I was in the back seat of that Black and White for hours as they tried to figure out how to handle me.
