Neither any dispatcher nor anyone at 911 has legal authority to tell someone at the other end of the phone line to do ANYTHING, including initiate a chase or end a chase.

They are not on the scene, therefore, they can't legally direct anyone to do this or that.

A person must, however, obey directions from a law enforcement officer AT the scene of an incident.

I’m still shocked (and chuckling quite a bit) that a large portion of posters here on FR are continuing to assume that a fellow with the surname of Zimmerman is a whitey!

I also heard that the father of this kid said that the scream was NOT that of his son, after hearing the recording of his sons’s conversation with the kid's girlfriend on her cell.

Yeah, you're right, I realized that after I posted.
I truly hope this kid was justified in killing.....just a terrible tragedy..

See how easy it is to make you feel how they want you to feel if they don't tell you all the facts?
That's some scary sh!t right there, I don't care who you are.
And it should be criminal. That's that kind of thing that can get a lot of people killed.

I would have been beating him too if he had chased me down.

Me too, if I felt confident he was not armed. I consider the risk and respond accordingly.

You should check your facts. All indications are that Zimmerman (the shooter) was screaming for help, as Martin (the deceased) was on top of him, violently beating him. This is what the only known eyewitness has stated.

It really shocks and disappoints me that so many FReepers rush to swallow the left-wing propaganda Kool-Aid on this, rather than actually checking the known facts of the case.

.

Who’s ‘supporting’ the Straits?

While the Zimmerman ‘white’ on black killing is covered 24/7 on the MSM with an outpouring of rage and charges of a racial hate crime, where is the concern- where is the rage about the home invasion, torture, beating, rape and murder of the elderly white couple by ‘African Americans’ in Oklahoma just the other day?

The 90 year old war veteran husband was beaten, his jaw broken, shot in the face with a BB gun and now barely clings to life.

The 85 year old partially blind wife was raped and beaten to death.

.

There’s a lot more here than a home invasion and robbery.

WHERE ARE THE CHARGES OF A RACIAL HATE CRIME??

90 year old husband’s jaw broken and shot in face with BB gun?

85 wife year old semi blind wife RAPED and BEATEN to death??

Where is the 24/7 MSM coverage

Where is the outrage?

"You should check your facts. All indications are that Zimmerman (the shooter) was screaming for help, as Martin (the deceased) was on top of him, violently beating him. This is what the only known eyewitness has stated."

The facts are this:

An armed citizen attempted to illegally detain and threaten an unarmed minor who was not committing a crime of any kind. The teen found it necessary to beat the sh!t out of the crazy ba$tard in order to re-establish his freedom of movement on the public street.

As a result the armed citizen shot him to death.

This is a NO BRAINER.

Murder.

Where did you get this from? I have not seen this reported anywhere.

You have no understanding of the facts of this case, the law, or common sense.

There is no evidence that Zimmerman attempted to detain or threaten Martin. Unless he physically assaulted Martin, or threatened to do so (and there is no indication of either of these things), Martin had no right to attack and beat Zimmerman.

The full facts still need to come out, but as it stands now it is indeed a no brainer, Zimmerman was acting in self defense and is not guilty.

If additional facts come to light showing this was not the case, I will change my opinion.
