we can draw some of the confusions in your post.

The police arrived very quickly after the shooting as I have understood the facts.

And we don't know how much of Zimmerman's reactions might have been due to his general lack of intelligence. Also, we often do not think rationally in an emergency.

One thing is certain. These events should prevent Zimmerman from ever becoming a police officer -- and that is good because he probably has neither the intelligence nor the emotional stability needed to be a good policeman.

Why do you say that was not 911? I always thought it was. JDPriestly Aug 2012 #11

That was police dispatch former-republican Aug 2012 #13

it was not. he called the police directly, as he did 100 other times. to report someone walking robinlynne Aug 2012 #14

That was the non emergency number pokerfan Aug 2012 #15

It wasn't an emergency when he called. lightcameron Aug 2012 #27

So why did he even call in the first place? Blue_Tires Aug 2012 #36

That'd be a great rhetorical question to present to the jury. lightcameron Aug 2012 #44

It's not a "rhetorical" question, since Zimmerman set the Blue_Tires Aug 2012 #50

a depraved mind would tell people not to call 911 noiretextatique Aug 2012 #77

Police dispatch is not 911. 911 comes with ambulance... vaberella Aug 2012 #16

The police were on their way, Zimmerman knew they were, and they got there in two minutes. lightcameron Aug 2012 #23

Are you being purposefully dense? leftynyc Aug 2012 #26

No, I usually do that by accident. (edit) lightcameron Aug 2012 #28

Who faked Zimmerman's injury photos? lightcameron Aug 2012 #43

The trial will play itself out, but you haven't addressed these facts... Blue_Tires Aug 2012 #51

You can't imagine any scenario in which Zimmerman is acquitted lightcameron Aug 2012 #53

I doubt very much that a jury will squabble over whether he called 911 or a non-emergency line. lightcameron Aug 2012 #24

Nope pokerfan Aug 2012 #30

I think we're talking two different things here. lightcameron Aug 2012 #31

everything changed after the shooting pokerfan Aug 2012 #34

How did he know that no ambulance was coming? lightcameron Aug 2012 #45

because the NEN dispatcher told him an officer had been sent pokerfan Aug 2012 #46

Correct. lightcameron Aug 2012 #54

You think the NEN dispatcher knew someone had been shot? pokerfan Aug 2012 #56

No, never said that. lightcameron Aug 2012 #58

a sane jury will see right through his pathetic "defense" noiretextatique Aug 2012 #78

His call to 911 brought police, not an ambulance. Zimmerman didn't call an ambulance for Martin. yardwork Aug 2012 #32

So instead of a Murder 2...this article is suggesting Murder 1? n/t vaberella Aug 2012 #17

no, it explains why it is murder 2 rather than manslaughter TorchTheWitch Aug 2012 #21
