Georgia attorney general to investigate local officials’ handling of Ahmaud Arbery’s murde

BRUNSWICK, Ga. — The state attorney general pledged to investigate the handling of a young black man’s murder as a furious public demands action against the local officials who waited more than two months to arrest the suspected killers.
“I will be looking into how the Ahmaud Arbery case was handled from the outset,” Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr said in a statement to The Washington Post. “The family, the community, and the state of Georgia deserve answers. We need to know exactly what happened, and we will be working tirelessly with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, the Brunswick community and others to find those answers.”
Glynn County commissioner Peter Murphy said he also plans to call for an investigation into the prosecutors and police agencies that investigated Arbery’s shooting over the past two months.
Murphy echoed widely held concerns that three separate district attorneys had reviewed the video, but that the McMichaels were only arrested after the footage was publicly released and pressure intensified.
Murphy also said police officials have told him that homicide investigators conferred with District Attorney Jackie Johnson’s office on the day Arbery was killed, but were instructed to not make any immediate arrests, the first in a series of similar actions as the case pinballed to different prosecutors’ offices.

Hopefully DAs Johnson and Barnhill face some sort of disciplinary action.

Those baws are proper fricked now (rightfully). And ironically, it’s because they were being protected by trying to sweep it under the rug. If they had been arrested when they should have (on the scene), they may have had a chance to plead to some lesser crime. Not anymore.

the DA said they were covered under Georgia Code Title 17. Criminal Procedure § 17-4-60
"A private person may arrest an offender if the offense is committed in his presence or within his immediate knowledge. If the offense is a felony and the offender is escaping or attempting to escape, a private person may arrest him upon reasonable and probable grounds of suspicion."
but that doesnt line up with the dispatch call where they said he was just running on the vacant property and they hadnt witnessed him stealing anything

911 Dispatcher:Do you have your address or the other — that house's address?
Travis: Uh, right at 219 or 220 Satilla Drive.
911 Dispatcher: And you say someone's breaking into it right now?
Travis: No, it's all open and it's under construction and he's running right now. There he goes right now.
911 Dispatcher: OK. What is he doing?
Travis: He's running down the street.
(Interference)
911 Dispatcher: OK. That's fine. I'll get them out there. I just need to know what he was doing wrong.
Travis also said the man was caught on surveillance cameras several times, as the Glynn County neighborhood had several break-ins that week in February.

I dont mean to be too hyperbole.
But i honestly feel like this may be the single most fricked up case I have ever seen in my lifetime.
Not just thr fact that the father/son felt they had the right to chase down a guy in their truck simply because they saw him running in the neighborhood and thought that was suspicious. Then to their surprise, he ignored them and ran the opposite way when they first attempted to pull up beside him and tell him to stop. They then set up a blockade where they sat outside the truck with their guns drawn so they could "talk to him"
After they killed him, they were never arrested, not even once. Multiple DAs had to step away. The police lied to the victim about what happened. The police had this video on them for months, yet did nothing.
If it wasnt for this being the social media age and someone leaking the video, they would still be free. It literally took an outside investigation to occur, and at which point said investigation team took only 2 days to make an arrest. After the almost 3 months passed and they had never been arrested.
Not only did a murder occur, but a full-blown cover up also occured. There are multiple people besides the McMichaels who should go to jail.
Not only that, but there should also be an investigation for past alleged crimes in that Brunswick area department. Has something like this happened before that never made news and was never a video for. Are there individuals locked up by that department even though the evidence was clearly lacking. Witness tampering, falsified evidence, falsified police reports? Etc.
This whole thing felt like it's something I would read about happening in the 50s. The fact that it happened in 2020 is mind-boggling to me.

Makes one wonder how many times this has happened, not just with that department but the entire country, before internet and social media

This is going to be a litmus test for Chris Carr as our AG, just to give the OT background on Chris he was Chief of Staff for our recently departed Senator Johnny Isakson. He was then appointed as AG by our past governor Nathan Deal despite having no previous experience as a prosecutor at any level of law which has lead to some criticisms of him and the choice to appoint him to AG. Fast forward to 2018 and he got re-elected riding Kemp’s coattails despite it being known about his lack of experience as a prosecutor.
So now Chris has the opportunity of his career to prove what kind of a politician he wants to be with the whole country watching. Rumor has it that Chris is eying a Senate run in the near future and if that is the case this is his chance to show the state who he is as a person, especially considering 99% of the people in this state couldn’t tell you who he is.
If he fricks this up the GOP in Georgia is toast but if he is successful then he might buy them another 6 years. Time will tell

Racist pigs and murderous redneck trash all need to go down.

No but there is societal value in knowing the truth about the activities of the victim (relevant ones) and the motivations of the killers.

They already determined he didn’t commit more than trespassing at most. So, I still don’t care if the young man had a previous record. These guys are trying to bastardize a citizen’s arrest law.

This is obviously going to have societal ramifications beyond the prosecution.
People around the country are claiming black joggers are unsafe around white people. If that's a bullshite narrative, we should know.
People are smart enough to be able to condemn reckless vigilantism and murder and acknowledge that this wasn't some brazen racial slaying, if that's the truth.

Daniel Shaver was 10x more fricked up than this. Nothing from the media.

Apologies for bumping this thread. But today I am just now finding out about this case of Daniel Shaver. I would have to agree with you actually. That video was fricking chilling, the guy basically begged for his life, crawled on the ground as the officers instructed him(which I didn't understand the point of) and then they blasted him even tho it looks like he was trying to comply the whole time, but made the fatal mistake of trying to fix his pants.
The cop was cleared of all charges. And to make matters worse he was able to get temporarily rehired in order to fully receive his pension. It's amazing that this received virtual zero media attention. If BLM was actually worth a shite, this is a case that they would have got behind.

But that was a white guy shot and killed unnecessarily by the police
No black person that’s organizing protests this week gives one shite of care about Daniel Shaver.
