The call itself is answered, "Sanford Police Department, line is being recorded. This is Sean" who then waits for George to speak. The 911 calls from all the neighbors are answered, "911 - do you need police, fire, or rescue?"
I agree. Those are not 911 calls.
What’s eyeopening to me about that call list is that it goes back to 2004. I’m guessing when Zimmerman started with his neighborhood watch. The first calls came through 911 but eventually he started calling into dispatch.
What struck me the most, is that Zimmerman DOES NOT do the neighborhood watch thing that often. Looks to be once a month and sometimes three or four months go by without doing anything.
Now this could be that he does do neighborhood watch alot but doesn’t call in that much. Either way, it certainly does not support the the left-wing media take that Zimmerman was an out of control little Chekist that liked to stick his nose in other people’s business, nor does it support the sycophants here complaining that Zimmerman is nothing more than a jack-booted thug copwannabe in training.
Yes, they are absolutely not all 911 calls. If you look at each incident report, the “Call Source” is listed as either “TEL” or “911.” The last call, the night of the shooting, is “TEL,” and the police have stated that it was a call to the non-emergency line.
This is another area where the sensationalism in so many news reports has gotten out of hand. These records show 44 calls, most of them non-emergency, in the last eight years.
People can disagree as to whether some incidents merited a police report. I would note that on one incident, an open garage door, the operator notes that Zimmerman explained he was calling it in because they were told at a recent Neighborhood Watch training with police to report anything out of the ordinary. Not to read too much into that note, but it strikes me as almost apologetic.
