IMO this is a situation where you need to be trained as a police officer to know what the hell you're doing. You also need to be in this situation identifiable as a police officer.

The 911 dispatcher told him to go follow the suspect? Really? If so, that's two people not using any common sense.

If you're not a freaking actual police officer and have no real police training, then approaching/following private citizens on suspcion of criminal activity armed with a weapon is "playing cops and robbers" as far as I'm concerned.

Stay in your car and let people who are actually trained for that situation to handle it, even if the kid is a robber, possessions can be replaced or reimbursed, someone's life cannot.



Why do you need to be a police officer to follow and report a suspicious person? No, the 911 operator suggested (didn't tell) that they didn't need him to follow and george said "okay" and he stopped following trayvon. There is a huge difference between approching and following.
