I can't remember the exact words but I think the dispatcher told the guy "we don't need you to do that" in reference to the fucker following him ok? to the best of my knowledge at this time that's my story.
Even if not following him was in some vague way telepathically relayed to mr Zimmerman, the Police still said nothing of the kind, I don't care if 100 dispatchers told him not to follow, even if you have proof of 100 dispatchers and can back it up 100%. The police never told him to do shit.
I am well aware of this little fact:
Zimmerman reported the teen had started to run and said he was following. The dispatcher told him, “We don't need you to do that.”
Fact is that the POLICE never told him jack shit. The dispatcher is not a police officer, they are regular people who work for the city and answer the fucking phone and relay messages to the police. Dispatchers do not have criminal justice degrees, never went to academy, have not a clue on procedures other than what they are told to tell you, they have zero authority.
