And... we CAN disagree.
That's ok.
But I do not believe your right to exit the vehicle and walk in your neighborhood can be taken away by a dispatcher who had no idea what the current environment was.
It doesn't matter if they TOLD him or not.
Had there been an officer on the scene that assessed the situation and ordered him to stay in the car, I'd be inclined to agree with you.
Zimmerman was stupid, but was not beyond his rights by exiting the vehicle.
