Wow! I thought I knew mt facts in this case, but I just wnet to the same story at Fox (http://latino.foxnews.com/latino/news/2012/07/13/zimmerman-not-racist-fbi-report-states/) and found this:
“When asked by a dispatcher, Zimmerman said the suspect was black. His wife, Shellie, is heard in the background telling Zimmerman not to go outside to follow the suspect.”
Did everyone know that his wife was in the truck with him, or what?
Different call: The full context is:
In August 2011, Zimmerman called Sanford Police’s nonemergency line to report a man in the neighborhood who his wife thought was responsible for an earlier burglary.
“If you’ll let the officers know they typically run away quickly and I think they head to the next neighborhood over,” Zimmerman said in the call.
When asked by a dispatcher, Zimmerman said the suspect was black. His wife, Shellie, is heard in the background telling Zimmerman not to go outside to follow the suspect.
Now I know that in this day and age of PC and DD (political correctness and dumbing down)that is SO rampant in our “educational system” and which is these days being manifested in the worst possible reporting and editing by “news personnel”, I must point out to you that the phrase you quote follows this one very closely:
“In August 2011, Zimmerman called Sanford Police’s nonemergency line to report....”
Using the Ocum’s razor approach, it would seem to me that this implies that the dialog you quoted took place in 2011, and NOT during the recent travesty.
