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 |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
