I guess you didn't read what came before.
Zimmerman was not told anything. "We don't need you to that." is not being 'told' anything. It is not an instruction or an order. It was a suggestion that he had no obligation to follow. The Police Chief has even stated that is was only a suggestion and that he was under no obligation to follow.
Following anybody for the purposes of keeping them under observation until police arrive is not wrong.
It is actually appropriate.
He does not need to be arrested.
An investigation was conducted. There was no evidence that contradicted his statement, but evidence that was consistent with and corroborated it.
The guy followed the kid kid defended himself after being approved by said guy. Guy kills kid. Manslaughter. That's the position the prosecution should have taken. That's the proof by the phone calls/transcripts.

Zimmerman's conversation with the 911 dispatcher directly before the altercation support his claim that he had lost sight of Martin, Martin's girlfriend confirms that it was Martin who confronted Zimmerman about being followed, eye witnesses support his claim that he was on the ground, injuries treated by EMS officials are consistent with both eye witnesses and Zimmerman's version of the events, and observations by the police of blood and grass stains on Zimmerman's clothing corroborate his statements.
Cutcher and Lamilla only saw after the gun shot. It seems incredibly reasonable to assume Zimmerman was initially unaware of how injured Martin was but leapt to his feet to subdue Martin, which is completely consistent with the women's claim of him pressing his hands to his back, then let up as he realized Martin was dead, which again is consistent with their claims.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but I just don't see how you could come to the conclusion that he must be lying when his version of the events is supported by virtually all the facts.
yup manslaughter
