My only hesitation on this point of view is...didn’t the cops tell GZ to stay in the car? Not to engage in any way?
No.
After Zimmerman had gotten out of his vehicle, the Non-emergency operator ASKED him if he was following the “suspect”. Zimmerman answered yes, and the operated stated, “You don’t need to do that”. Zimmerman was NEVER ordered fto stay in his vehicle.
No, he was speaking to the 911 operator, and according TO that operator:
Noffke explained to the jury that as a 911 dispatcher, he is unable to issue direct orders to callers due to liability issues.
911 dispatcher Sean Noffke takes the stand
No legal offical gave Zimmerman any kind of order whatsoever. That's just more of the media spin.
Nope, it was the phone dispatcher, not the cops. And Zimmerman was already out of the car when this was said: "We don't need you to do that." or something very similar. And when she told him that he turned around and headed back toward his car. It was after that that he was attacked.
“My only hesitation on this point of view is...didn’t the cops tell GZ to stay in the car? Not to engage in any way?”
NO. Only the 911 dispatcher said that, not a true peace officer. And George was under NO legal obligation to comnply. He had a right to walk where he wanted, just as Travon was.
Did you actually listen to the trial? Zimmerman did not disobey any order. The non-emergency operator asked, after Zimmerman was already out of his truck (you can hear the door shut on the call)and moving outside, “Are you following?” Zimmerman said he was, and the operator then replied, “We don’t need you to do that.” Zimmerman said, “Okay.” The operator did not order, “Stop immediately” or “Don’t follow”. “We don’t need you to do that” is not an order. After that question, the operator continued to ask questions better answered from outside the truck.
You have to read the 911 transcript between GZ & the 911 dispatcher, rather than reading the biased media & Low-Information demoRATs or liberals.
The cops NEVER told GZ to remain in the car, as he was on the phone with the 911 DISPATCHER, not a policeman.
Dispatcher.. Where are you?
GZ.. Following him
Dispatcher.. I wouldn't recommend that
GZ.. Ok (and turns back to return to his car)
TM.. confronts GZ and says "You got a problem?"
GZ.. No, I don't have a problem
TM.. You do now (and procedes to punch GM, break GM's nose, jumps on top of GM and procedes to bash GM's head on the concrete sidewalk)
GM.. feels like his head is ready to explode as TM bashes his head again & again. When TM realizes that GM is carrying a gun, he tries to take it, GM retrieves it instead and fires a single shot, killing TM in self-defense as GM felt his life was at stake.
.
It is a FALSE statement that the police ever told GM to stay in the vehicle.
Have you been in a coma for the last year and a half?
NO.
But those that still swallow anything the MSM prints - rather than do some research - regurgitate the crap -
No.
Do some research. This foolishness has been discredited about a billion times.
