(23,720 posts)I live in a township of about 50k people that is comparable to Sanford. When I call the police department for a non-emergency, an officer with a badge and a gun on their hip answers the phone. I've been at the department when an officer has answered the phone. I posted an entire collection of calls that night. The first call being the conversation with GZ and the Sanford PD. The calls after are the calls from neighbors speaking with 911. You don't have to listen to the entire 40 mintes, the first 3 calls will show you that the Sanford PD answers Sanford Police Deprtment. 911 dispatch answers 911. You fail. Try again.
certified public safety telecommunicator = 911 dispatcher.

Below I have reposted your words verbatim. Tell me, what should everyone think about the value of your argument now?
"The point I am making is that those who claimed Zimmerman ignored police orders are wrong. When they lead with that, any further argument they make is devalued/dismissed since they can not get something basic, in this case that the 911 operator has not authority to order anyone to do anything, the rest of what they say is equally questionable."
