What dispatcher? It was more than likely a police officer he spoke to as he called the non-emergency number and probably got the officer on duty.Oh Jesus Christ.Boy Scout: Let me help you with that bag, it looks heavy.
Little Old Lady: Oh, dear boy. You're so kind. But you don't have to do that.
Boy Scout: [Does it anyway.]
What a colossally stupid comparison to make to the situation of a police department telling you "we don't need you to do that."
The point, as even a dimwit like you (if you were capable of being honest) is that Ravi had made a claim. There are absolutely examples where saying "you don't have to" or "you don't need to do that" does NOT mean (contrary to her contention) that you are being told to stop.
In the Zimmerman case, the dispatcher had no authority to tell a citizen not to keep an eye on a suspect. And Zimmerman had no obligation to take the advice as any kind of a directive.
Ravi was wrong. As are you.
But you sit tight. Somebody will be by in a while with those tissues you need.
And yes, your "example" was retarded.
