IIRC, the purpose of a Neighborhood Watch is TO CALL THE POLICE, when you see something that isn't quite right. Given that the watch was organized due to the increasing amount of crime in his community, it would only make sense that those involved with the program would be calling 911.

And as to the DV. A) The wife accusing the husband of DV during a divorce is practically de rigueur and simply a negotiating ploy. Often times, it is the wife that has been abusive to the husband. B) IIRC, In this country, one is considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Not sure if it's the same down in Oz, or if merely being tried in the court of public opinion is sufficient.
As it stands, I'm not aware of any case of anything being proven in a court of law against Mr. Zimmerman. So while he may not be the wisest person*, he is still an American citizen with all the rights and privileges one is entitled to as such.
Also, unless I'm missing something, Mr. Zimmerman has not been charged with any crime during this recent event, despite Mr. Apperson's claims to the contrary.
* Although it would appear that has moved out of state, and was merely present in that town to visit his mother on Mother's Day.
