"Please proceed Governor"
meaning: Please explain your broader point. Why do you feel the need to make that point? Nothing I said was meant to be a literal account of the series of events that lead to Martin's death. Typically, when people split hairs like that on this specific issue it is an attempt to allude to their bigger point, that since the police didn't specifically tell Zimmerman to not confront Martin (i.e. "do not do that" Vs. "we don't need you to do that&quot that by not saying "NO, do not do that" that the 911 operator's statement was a suggestion as opposed to a command. That a 911 operator isn't really a police officer and therefore Zimmerman was under no obligation to follow that request. I hate that ignorant line of reasoning. The meaning is clear. The intent of the 911 operator's statement is unambiguous. Zimmerman's actions, i.e. Zimmerman following Martin, Zimmerman confronting Martin, was not a good idea and that they did not need him to do that. The reason why Zimmerman was told "We don't need you to do that" should be very clear to him at this point.
