Gee, now the police say they give explicit instructions at Zimmerman's
Neighborhood Watch meetings that they were NOT to follow suspects and to
NOT carry a gun.

Sure, and they're just NOW saying that? Sounds like a good lie to
cover their asses, eh, Jerry? And you know how THAT works, eh, Jerry?

Of course, even if the cops did instruct like that at the Neighborhood
Watch meetings, that still doesn't have anything to do with whether a
person can defend themselves when they're getting their head pounded
on the cement.

So strut away, pigeon.

I suppose members of a Neighborhood Watch are under more police
authority than the rest of us but I don't usually consider
instructions from a police officer to have the force of law.

Good detective work, Jerry. Any other general advice from the police that
was ignored by any party in this case?

No, they said it was a part of their Neighborhood Watch instructions they
gave.

OK, let's say they did. Does that make Zimmerman guilty of murder?

No. This is about those that claim it was okay for Zimmerman to follow
after it was 'only suggested' he not follow, by the 911 Operator.

911 operators give advice to make things easier for cops, not to impact
things at the scene. Zimmerman was perfectly within his rights and duties
as a neighborhood watchman to follow the kid and inquire.

The murky part is what happened at that point. Did Zimmerman act overly
aggressive in doing so, or did Martin overreact with violence at being
questioned? That's the part that is important.

You are hung up on the fact that you consider a 911 operator a police
officer and therefore, anyone who does not follow the directives of a police
officer did something wrong..

Let's pretend it wasn't okay for him to do that. So what?

So the author of the "stand your ground" law says that it definitely
does not apply to Zimmerman in this case. Zimmerman *didn't* stand his
ground, he actively pursued and confronted his victim. If anything,
it's Treyvon Martin that had the right to stand his ground.

He was told, in a Neighborhood Watch class, by a training police officer,
to not be armed and not follow.

You are making a position for me. I am 'hung up' on nothing. The 911
operator was apperently a police officer as he answered the phone that way.

The Castle Law, "or stand your ground," doesn't really apply to this case. This is a simple matter of self defense, where the Castle Law is more appropriate in the midst of an existing felony being carried-out: "home invasion," armed robbery, etc.

The police determined that Martin followed a retreating Zimmerman back to his (Zimmerman's) truck and attacked him. Zimmerman defended himself by shooting Martin: an act of self defense and no probable cause for arresting Zimmerman.

Why do you think that the left-wing media keeps showing Martin's grammar school pictures, and not his current 6' tall with tattoos pictures?

Also, there were about eight 911 calls by the neighbors for that fight.
Of course, the police followed up on all of this in their investigation, but the mainstream media doesn't report it. They just show you Al Sharpton.

How would they determine that, by listening to the shooter's self-serving
story?

The pictures are head shots how would his height or tattoos be apparent? And
how do those things justify homicide?

And he still has a baby face in more recent photos.

You've made a huge leap of logic here. Several, actually.

For one, the topic was whether or not he disobeyed a police order.
Everything you said would be unaffected by whether or not a 911
operator told him to stop.

Secondly, the fact that he follwed Martin in no way implies that he
aggressively approached or confronted him. But that's exactly what
you're assuming.

They don't have to determine that. All they have to determine is
whether sufficient evidence to press charges.

No, you idiot, they investigated the incident. Their conclusion was self defense and no evidence to the contrary. Fortunately, we live in a constitutional republic, and people can't just be arrested because a commie like Dutch wants them to be arrested.

Who said they did? I saud that the media shows thses grammar scholl pictures to effect public opinion into thinking that Martin was a defenseless little kid asnd could not have possibly attacked Zimmerman. It's a total misrepresentation: a blatant lie.

No he doesn't, dumbass. Ya know, reasonable argument is one thing, but you're basically just some dumb asshole.

I have news for you, people who kill other people are seldom objective
witnesses to the event, and initial police investigations are frequently
incomplete. Just because that could justify arresting him at the time does
NOT mean he is innocent. Unfortunately Trayvon wasn't around to give his
account of what took place, I'll bet it would be different.

Riiiiight, and you're the leading, objective keeper of that stat. Ya.

I have news for you, there was an independent eye witness that the police investigated. Plus, numerous 911 calls, of which the police followed-up. Zimmerman had physical injury. Try knowing what you're talking about before blithering.


>Just because that could justify arresting him at the time does

Who said it did, numbnuts? I have news for you, there was no evidence that Zimmerman's story wasn't true, and there was evidence that his story was true. There has to be evidence to the contrary of Zimmerman's story to have probable cause for arrest. There wasn't any. Try knowing what you're talking about before blithering.

Picture Dutch squealing if the situation was turned around and the black guy shot the white guy, the black guy said it was self defense but was arrested, anyway, with no evidence that it wasn't self defense.
