because it had been over a year since I even thought of this case I went and looked up on line what happened and I was right. Zimmerman called the police reporting suspicious activities as part of the neighborhood watch. the operator told him to stay in his car. Zimmerman then after reporting the suspicious person hung up. two minutes later the police received a 911 call of shots being fired.... I think we can agree that Treyvon was a punk and up to no good. I think we can agree that it is also Trayvon fault he got shot and killed. I think we can agree that Zimmerman had every right to shoot Treyvon. the place I disagree with you is that Zimmerman did not make the best decision when he left the car. Zimmerman helped to create the situation where he was forced to defend himself and shoot Trayvon.

Suggestion look at the official police reports... A lot of times we think we know but because of the passage of time and the misinformation put out we choose to believe what fits a narrative that might not be true.

“Are you following him?” the operator for the Sanford police’s non-emergency line asks Zimmerman. “Yeah,” he says. The dispatcher on the phone tells him: “We don’t need you to do that.” Who the aggressor was that fateful night is the central — and most unanswerable — question of the case. Those who fault Zimmerman have latched on to this back-and-forth with Sean Noffke, the operator, as proof that Zimmerman defied a direct police order. Not so. Noffke testified on the first day of the jury trial that it is dispatchers’ policy not to give orders to callers. “We’re directly liable if we give a direct order,” he explained. “We always try to give general basic . . . not commands, just suggestions.” So, “We don’t need you to do that” is different than a more direct “Don’t do that.”
