asked if he was following Martin and he said yes. The cop then said "we don't (need) you to do that" not "don't do that".
Zimmerman said "OK", did that mean he agreed with the cop that he didn't "need" to pursue him and then did it anyway. Or "OK" could mean he stopped following him and headed back to his car as he claimed and then Martin confronted him. I don't feel I have enough evidence to come to any conclusion either way at this time. If it is proven Zimmerman did pursue Martin that would make Zimmerman the aggressor and I wouldn't think the SYG law apply to the case anyway.
