He was told by police dispatchers to break off following the scumbag but continued doing so {Police dispatchers are agents for the police}

In fact the dispatcher said "we don't need you to do that." Which was merely stating it wasn't NECESSARY which is not the same thing as an order.

Even if the dispatcher did try to ORDER Zimmerman not to follow, so what? The police have no legal power to give that kind of order.

If I was a cop who lived in your neighborhood, maybe I should stop by your house every day and tell your wife to make me a sandwich and tell your kid to wash my car.

Not only that, but dispatchers are not normally sworn officers, but trained clerks. The lady at the DMV or unemployment office can’t give you orders and neither can this bureacrat.

The last part of your statement was steeped in stupidity. So much so that it boggles the mind and dulls the senses. I cant even make a response to it because reading it took my breath away.
Since we are taking the Clinton “definition of “Is” is approach to this, the phrase “ we dont need you to do that” is a polite way of saying” stop doing it we have someone on the way”. Why the dispatcher didnt say it is beyond me. If you were driving home and saw a brush fire,and you called the fire dept and told them’I am going to put it out” and the dispatcher told you the same thing, would you still go into the field and stomp out the fire or would you let the fire department do it? The dispatcher isnt a fireman,he dont know anything about firefighting and he is sitting behind a console,sipping a Coke.
All i am saying is that Zimmerman acted outside the scope of his experience.
