Not trying to be funny. My understanding is that Zimmerman phoned 911 from inside his car and was told to stay put and not to pursue TM. I am asking how it came to be that he at some point got out of the car and followed TM. Again, thanks to anyone who knows the answer.
That’s a myth, he was already outside of the car when he called. Question answered.
Your “understanding” is incorrect. Regardless of what MSNBC and DU spoon fed you, Zimmerman was in his rights to walk the streets, get into and out of his car and in the end, defend his life.
Ok. How far from the car did the shooting take place?
see my prior first post to you.
The exact words were "you don't have to do that" , thus absolving any dispatcher of any consequences regardless of what took place. If he stayed in the car and did nothing, or if he followed to see where he was going, the 911 operator was okeedokee.
No, he wasn’t told any such thing.
He was already out of the car when advised not to follow. Did he get in and back out again. He was advised not to follow and his answer was ok. There is no evidence he started following again.
“My understanding is that Zimmerman phoned 911 from inside his car and was told to stay put and not to pursue TM.”
People who answer the phone for a living have to right to order you to do anything. You might be a sheep, many are not.
No, and no and no.
Nope.
The 911 operator (who was not a member of law enforcement) asked Zimmerman if he was following Martin.
Zimmerman responeded that he was, at which time the 911 operator stated "We don't need you to do that."
That is a LONG way from being told to "stay put" and "not pursue" Martin.
Furthermore, since the 911 operater was not a LEO, Zimmerman had no responsibility to obey/follow any suggestions made by the 911 operator.
911 calls paint picture of chaos after Florida teen is shot
The above transcript of the 911 call tooke me a whole 15 seconds to find, using Google. And I'm out in the sticks, on dial-up.
Impressive - two oft-repeated lies in one sentence.
1) GZ called the non-emergency number, not 911.
2) He was told that he didn’t need to follow TM, not to stay in his car.
Where do you get your news, MSNBC? You obviously haven’t been following the trial itself or the discussions here.
Your understanding is incorrect on several points:
1) George did not call 911, he called the non-emergency number set up for neighborhood watch calls.
2) The dispatcher never told George to stay in his car, not did he tell him not to pursue Martin - he did not have the legal authority to do so, even if he had been so inclined.
3) After George was out of his car, the dispatcher asked George if he was following Martin. George said yes, and the dispatcher said, "we don't need you to do that." George said okay, and there is no evidence that he continued to follow Martin after that point.
Now that you have the facts, as presented in evidence and testimony to the court, I hope your question is answered.
That’s what the media wants you to believe.
The dispatcher asked Zimmerman several times what Martin was doing.
When the dispatcher said “we don’t need you to do that”, Zimmerman said “OK” and started back to his truck.
A key thing: the dispatcher has no authority to tell you to do anything. The dispatcher testified exactly that furring the trial.
If you choose to have an opinion about this case, first you must educate yourself. Listen to or watch the evidence presented at the trial. Don’t decide anything the state-run media tells you, because they have been lyng, either outright or by omission.
That's what the lying media WANTED you to "understand". He was out of the car trying to see Martin and find a house number for reference. The dispatcher asked if he was following Martin, and said "we don't need you to do that." Then Z returned towards his vehicle, and was attacked.
Watch a lot of MSNBC, do you?
He was told by a telephone dispatcher, not a cop, "we don't need you to do that" when he said he was following Martin.
He wasn't told not to follow him. He wasn't told to stay in his car. He wasn't told anything by law enforcement. He wasn't ordered to do or not to do anything.
He got out of the car to find the street number because he couldn’t read it from the car. The dispatcher wanted to let the police officers know where to respond to the call. He was walking back to his car when Trayvon cold-cocked him.
Come on, you can tell us.
