Re: I Told You So!
I called 911 on a DUI suspect coming home from the races around 1:00 a.m. The guy was all over the road. 911 operator asked if I could tail from a distance until officers had the suspect in their sights. I did for a few miles. Then the subject turned north, I told 911 I had to continue east and they said "no problem, they have him in their sights, thanks for you help". Right then the suspect slammed into a car and in about 3 seconds there were three police cars surrounding the suspect.
Now, had 911 told me to back off, I wouldn't. SOP for a 911 operator is to get the citizens out of harms way on a police case. Just as I mentioned before, if a house is on fire, I'm calling 911 and if I analyze that help is needed and a kid is in there, I'm most likely going in even if 911 tells me not to (and you know they will).
My point is, whatever 911 said has little to no bearing on this case. 911 could be used as a timeline that Zimmerman heeded to the 911 operators call and was backing off his tail of the Martin and was subsequently assaulted.
In the end, Zimmerman MAY be exonerated. And then he can sue the Martin family for assault and the humility and death sentences. Yea, that would go over really good...
