In what way did Zimmerman "take on a role of law enforcement"? He saw someone that he thought looked suspicious. He called the police and followed him. when the police told him to break off his pursuit, he did. Sound to me like he was taking on the role of a community watch person.

I don't see where Zimmerman was "playing police officer". It seems to me that he was doing exactly what community watch is supposed to do. The scuffle started when Martin, who was supposedly in fear of his life, followed his pursuer back to his vehicle and then proceeded to attack him.
