Geraldo Rivera: Trayvon Martin's 'Hoodie Is As Much Responsible As Shooter

Just a couple of notes here. 911 dispatchers are not always performed by law enforcement officers. I know this because while my family lived in Washington my wife dated and married a 911 dispatcher.

Second as is clear in the 911 call that has been released the dispatcher did not tell Zimmerman to not follow Trayvon. The dispatcher just said that "you don't have to do that sir". The way it was phrased it was a suggestion...not an order, so even if the dispatcher in this case is a law enforcement officer Zimmerman did not have to take the suggestion.

Just a couple of notes here.
If I am walking and some ugly looking dude is following me and I walk faster and he walks faster if he starts calling me names .
What am I to think? Am I to start taking off any clothing that might be offensive or suspicious?
What if I think this guys a mugger?
Now just suppose Martin had a gun was walking and had an altercation with Zimmerman and Zimmerman wound up dead and Martin said I thought he was a mugger?

Second what is the duties of the 911 response dispatcher , to make suggestions on their own or to notify the police of any altercation and describe the situation ?:peace

You can "suppose" anything you want to. Suppose Martin came running at Zimmerman shouting "I'm going to kill you! Kill you!" Support Martin has 3 years of martial arts training. Suppose Zimmerman had a mini-stoke or seizure as Martin charges screaming "DIE! DIE!" at him. Suppose that demons took possession of Zimmerman's body. Suppose any damn thing that gets your rocks off.
 
If anyone looks them up, couldja' send 'em to Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton? They seem to have had a reality break. If there's anything these clowns should be rallying against, it is that.

It's been posted on the forum a few times. 90% of African Americans murdered are murdered by other African Americans. I guess the unknown statistic is how many were wearing hoodies?

The hoodie talk is disgusting because at no time, ever, did Zimmerman say Martin looked suspicious because he was wearing a hoodie. The police asked what him what Martin was wearing and he told them, just like Zimmerman saw Martin's race as SO irrelevant that he didn't even mention it until he was asked.

This total crap about the hoodie is totally and only a media creation and exactly nothing else.

My apologies, I'll look for text. The page is dynamic.

In the post I responded to the phrase " in the 911 tape the dispatcher said "you don't have to do that sir" the way it was phrased was as if a suggestion."
Now that sounds an awful lot like "supposing to me.

To take it one step further if it was a command it was to stop a confrontation, if it was a suggestion, it was to stop a confrontation, Zimmerman did not heed the 911 dispatcher if it was suggestion or demand .
Instead Zimmerman pursued the confrontation , and now Martin "who was unarmed" is dead shot with a gun by Zimmerman.:peace
