I need to apologize for my last comment. If the 911 dispatcher was a police 911 dispatcher, then you’re justified in calling him the police. I apologize.

Actually you don’t need to apologize. Zimmerman spoke to a Police Dept. civilian EMPLOYEE. An employee that was not a sworn police officer and has no more authority than I do to tell anyone to do anything. Something the dispatcher apparently knew too. His comment was phrased as a suggestion, “We don’t need you to do that”, because suggests is all he could do. Besides the fact Zimmerman was not ordered to do anything the tape makes it pretty clear he heeded the dispatcher’s advice when he replied, “Ok”.
