Instructions are in the form of an imperative sentence; the dispatcher used a declarative sentence, which simply informed Zimmerman of what the dispatcher didn't need. Apparently, police and 911 dispatchers need refresher courses in clear communication. A 911 call is no place for polite ambiguities.

It doesn't even matter. A police dispatcher cannot order a free American around anyway. Zimmerman could choose to take the advice of the dispatcher or not, with no legal ramifications either way.

I don't disagree. Our points are complimentary — not conflicting.

My point was simply that the dispatcher never issued an order — despite what the MSM, Martin's lawyers, the race baiters, etc. say. That point is easily proved.

Your point is that the dispatcher had no power to order anyone to do anything. You're probably right — I'm not familiar enough with American laws to say one way or the other. It seems that the other sides disagree — so your point isn't as easily argued as mine.

Even if they manage to disprove your point, mine still stands — no order was issued.
