Actually, IIRC, she said "we don't need you to do that" which is a
polite way of saying stand the **** down.

Language has meaning. If she had a reason, or the legal ground, to say "Do not follow him", she would have been trained to do just that. After all, supposedly the dispatchers and police departments knew him very well, right?

You're trying too hard to turn it into something it's not.
