[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 1763446, member: 1132"] It still applies. I've yet to read a single post stating that Zimmerman was correct in disregarding the 911 dispatchers instructions. A 911 dispatcher has zero authority and minimal training on the law and self-defense. I would consider any 911 operator's instructions and disregard those that were not going to further my safety and security. When you call 911 for assistance, you are the defacto "On Scene Commander" until relieved by a certified emergency responder. That means you make the decisions, not them. All they can do is comply with your requests for assistance and dispatch the emergency responders. Allowing the 911 dispatcher to make decisions for you is an abdication of your personal responsibility. It may work out, but it may not. [/QUOTE]
