Saying "We don't need you to do that" is not a "directive." It's a suggestion. In addition to the myriad other misleading statements and mischaracterizations in this writing.
This is the first time I've seen Zimmerman described as "non-Black." Ridiculous.
I have taken to watching HLN network for a while each evening to hear Nancy disGrace and Dr. Drew and some other wall-eyed host of theirs.
I cannot tell you how many times these people have lied, saying, “the police told Zimmerman not to follow Martin.” It’s a lie. None of them, apparently, have bothered to read the documents available— sort of like the Supreme Court justices today.
Not to mention that Zimmerman’s response was “OK”. There is no evidence he disobeyed the suggestion.
