They repeat the 911 dispatcher’s words like they are magic.
A dispatcher saying “ok, I don’t need you to do that” does not equal a police command. Nor does it mean that no matter what happens next, you are guilty.
The stupid reporters keep repeating this phrase to anyone who says Zimmerman was attacked, then they zombie-like keep asking “ do you still believe that even after the dispatcher said THIS!”
Also, if you listen to the 911 call, you can hear Zimmerman stop running about 5 seconds after the -request- was stated.
He said OK, then obeyed it.
