Hmnph. "Big Think", but no talk. No provision for comments, which is typical of those sites where exposing their bias and misinformation is a no-no.
So I'll do it here.
"They point to George Zimmerman, who was instructed by law enforcement not to get out of his SUV or approach Treyvon Martin."
This false meme is repeated ad nauseum by those who have been corrected already and dismiss the correction as irrelevant. The truth is that Zimmerman was already out of his vehicle trying to keep Martin in sight, and was then told AFTERWORD that "We don't need you to do that.", whereupon he immediately headed back toward his car. It was then he was jumped by Martin, and dispatchers have no color of authority to issue orders in the first place. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any bands of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States. — Noah Webster in "An Examination into the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution," 1787, in Paul Ford, ed., Pamphlets on the Constitution of the United States, at p. 56 (New York, 1888). |
