So now we're going to debate the difference between and order and a suggestion. Also whether a dispatcher has any authority to give either.

It all feels like distraction from the fact that Zimmerman is an example of the danger of legal guns in the wrong hands. And if he's found innocent, then FL law is WRONG!
