Quote: Mintball "Did anyone else see [iThe Daily Show[/i last night, as it dealt with the Zimmerman verdict and the entire issue of Florida's 'stand your ground' law?'"
I'm watching it now. It's another throw my TV out of the window response.
The police dispatcher did not explicitly tell Zimmerman to stop following Martin, which is what the presenter said, and is a lie the media keep telling.
Zimmerman was following Martin and trying to find their exact location. The cop realised that Zimmerman was following him and asked him if he was following him. Zimmerman said he was, the cop said, "OK, we don't need you to do that", Zimmerman replied "Ok."
They then carried on talking about where they were and when the cops would be getting there.
The cop did not tell him explicitly to stop following Martin.
The actual phone call from Zimmerman is available to hear. The transcript of the conversation is available. It is a blatant lie to say that the cop told Zimmerman to stop following Martin and go back to his car.
