(14,912 posts)when dispatch asked which way he ran, that's when Zimmie started following him. That's when the dispatcher asked if he was following him and Zimmie said yes and he was told "we don't need you to do that". Now that may not had been a legal order, but Zimmie agreed to wait at his truck for the officers, then later changed his mind and told dispatch to just have the officers call hhim when they got there and he would tell them where he was. He decided to hunt Trayvon down. He had also told dispatch that Trayvon was walking towards him and had his hands in his waistband, then said he had something in his hands but couldn't tell what it was. He also said paraphrasing {there's something wrong with him, or he's on drugs or something}.
Original 911 call:

I agree most of what we read was a crock of shit. Only 2 people know the real truth as to what transpired before the shooting, but dead people can't tell their side.
I will politely agree to disagree with you because, as far as I'm concerned, being told that officers were on the way and "we don't need you to do that" (following him) means to wait at your vehicle until the officers arrive... even if it wasn't a lawful order. This is why I didn't get into all the threads about it when it happened, and this is the last I'm going to say about it. Zimmerman hunted Trayvon down, Trayvon may have confronted him... and shit went bad quickly. You can have the last word if you wish to...
Peace,
