Dispatcher: "Let me know if he does anything else."
Zimmerman: "These a**holes, they always get away. When you come in go straight to the left ... when you pass the clubhouse ..."
Dispatcher: "Clubhouse?"
Zimmerman: "Go straight in. Oh, s***. He's running ... down towards the other entrance of neighborhood."
Dispatcher: "He's running? Which way is he running?"
Zimmerman: "Down towards the other entrance to the neighborhood."
Dispatcher: "Which entrance is that, that he is running towards?
Zimmerman: "The back entrance."

Dispatcher: "Are you following him?"

GZ walked, TM ran. Did TM got tired after 30 yards and stood there, panting, allowing GZ to approach him? GZ reported that he lost sight of TM and was returning to his truck (meaning "minded his own business") when TM approached him from behind and confronted him.

The point here is simple. TM had better mobility, and he had upper hand in everything that preceded the confrontation. He chose the time and the place. GZ only walked back and forth on a sidewalk between the clubhouse and the street.

why don’t you provide more of that transcript, instead of cherry-picking the part in the middle of it?
