Z was walking home from the store minding his own business. There was no way for Z to know he was a trouble maker or smoked pot. You have to look at the events from the time Z made the call to 911 and was told to stand down and let the police handle it. If he had done this, both would be alive and the police could have dealt with T accordingly. You can add in T's past when looking back and trying to figure out if he was indeed the agressor. But the fact remains, Z knew nothing about this kid other than he was walking through the neighborhood with a hoodie talking on his phone.
That not NOT correct he was told "sir, you don't need to do that" BY A DISPATCHER. Not someone of any authority. BIG DIFFERENCE. He was never told to "stand down".
