Full 911 audio shows Zimmerman in a more positive light
By Kyle Rogers, Charleston Conservative Examiner
Thousands of newspapers and media outlets have reported that a 911 operator told George Zimmerman that the police did not need him to follow Trayvon. The entire uncut recording is now available online. It is four minutes and twelve seconds long. The rest of the call provides a lot more details as to what happened.
Many in the media have characterized Zimmerman as targeting Trayvon simply because of his skin color. The 911 operator asks Zimmerman if he is following Trayvon at 2:30 in the 911 tape. The first two minutes and thirty seconds of the call primarily consists of Zimmerman describing the behavior of Trayvon.
Initially the 911 operator asks Zimmerman about the race of Trayvon and Zimmerman indicates that he ?might be black.? Shortly after that Trayvon turns and starts walking towards Zimmerman. When he gets close, it is only then that Zimmerman describes him as a young black male.
At about 2:20 on the tape Zimmerman describes Trayvon as having suddenly taken off running. Most of the rest of the call consists of Zimmerman and the 911 operator discussing a location for the police to meet Zimmerman. Zimmerman is not following Trayvon at this time, and reports that he can no longer see Trayvon.
We now know that Trayvon had been suspended from school at the time. His mother had sent him to his father's house, and he was out late on what would have been a school night. After Trayvon was tragically shot, he remained a John Doe in the morgue for almost three full days before his parents came looking for him.
Tiny excerpts of the phone call have been used to portray Zimmerman as a vigilante or even someone just looking to pick a fight. The entire four minute twelve second call shows someone that is passionate about his neighborhood and wanted to assist the police any way he could.
