But wouldn't they also have the legal force of a police officer? I would think that if a 911 operator told someone to stand down and they didn't, there would be legal consequences to that? To me that is being told to stand down by police.

Its possible the person he spoke with is NOT a police officer or even employed by the police. Different places do thigns differently with 911. Where I worked in NJ, the 2 counties I worked in regularly had the 911 services run by the County Sheriff's Office. The dispatchers were not law enforcement officials, an din those 2 counties, deputy's did not perform any patrol duties - they pretty much served warrants, guarded the courthouse and ran the county jail. On the flip side, where I live now, 911 is run by a separate group, not affiliated with the county sheriff's office. Either way, he was told to stand down...that is very clear from the tapes that have been released.
