My take on the transcript of the 911 call.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/backroom/2886477/posts?page=37#37

Basically, there is no way GZ “ignored the 911 dispatcher” by getting out of his truck AFTER being advised he did not have to follow TM as most of the leftists are chanting over and over.

He had been out of his truck for quite some time and headed back to it when advised by the 911 dispatcher “We don’t need you to do that.”

None of that matters.
A dispatcher has no legal authority.

“He had been out of his truck for quite some time and headed back to it when advised by the 911 dispatcher “We don’t need you to do that.”

And what does “we don’t need you to do that” even mean? It’s very ambiguous language, with no clear meaning — at a time when clear, unambiguous language is necessary. Taken literally, the dispatcher just told Zimmerman what “we” (the police) don’t need. There was no command there (not that the dispatcher had the authority to issue a command), there wasn’t even an advisory.

If this is at all representative of the way police dispatchers communicate; then they need a course in communication skills.

Please excuse me, but there was no 911 call.

Zimmerman called the non-emergency number and spoke with a non-emergency dispatcher. The City of Sanford issued a statement to this effect in March. The charging affidavit for Second-Degree Murder makes this clear, differentiating between Zimmerman's call to a dispatcher and the other "911 calls."

Zimmerman was advised by a non-emergency, non-911, police dispatcher.
