You are right, the 911 operator has no authority over Zimmerman. But that was wise advice and indeed turned out to be would you not agree? All he saw was Martin acting suspiciously, not even committing a crime. It’s worth calling the cops on, but not worth getting in a confrontation over. I’ll bet he agrees with me about right now.

All the evidence is that Zimmerman agreed with that THEN. He followed the advice. He'd lost sight of Martin, and given up pursuit. And as far as I can tell, the extent of pursuit that Zimmerman was interested in maintaining was only that sufficient to maintain visual contact.

Absolutely it was good advice. If Zimmerman had not continued to follow Martin, Martin would be alive today, Zimmerman would not be the center of this firestorm, and we would not be discussing it.
