You know what I am tired of? People jumping all over Zimmerman because he didn’t obey the police dispatcher when she told him to stay in his vehicle.
The police default to “Let us handle it, you are not qualified nor able to handle this situation.”
That is INFURIATING to me. Calling 911 only expedites the police investigation AFTER the crime has been committed. Zimmer KNEW that the suspect would be long gone before the police showed up.
Thsi case is very murky. It will be interesting to see how Zimmerman got the bloody head wound and he grass on his back.
clearly he should have; and probably was trained to.
I haven't heard a single detail about this story besides this. The kid was carrying a gun? He went after someone? He was told by a police dispatcher to sit tight? That stinks. Really stinks.
My understanding is that he was on foot while on the line with 911, and said he was following a suspicious person. The dispatcher said "you don't have to do that," or something to that effect, and that "the police are on their way." My understanding is that at that moment, Zimmerman turned around and was returning to his truck. He'd given up "the chase."

My understanding is that eyewitnesses other than Zimmerman have him taking a beating while he's on his back. Not sure how the back of his head got bloodied.
