The 911 dispatchers are not police officers, they're civilians. They have no legal authority. Google it for yourself. Zimmerman following Martin wasn't nice, but it wasn't illegal.

I would argue that Martin would be alive if he hadn't decided to beat up Zimmerman, breaking the law by assaulting a stranger and giving Zimmerman no choice but to defend himself. This is the conclusion that the jury reached, thus the "not guilty" verdict.
And now I bet you're going to argue that Zimmerman should have "taken his beating like a man".
