ATLANTA - Georgia's attorney general asked federal prosecutors on Sunday to investigate local law enforcement's response to the fatal shooting of an unarmed black man who authorities say was slain by a white ex-police officer and his son as the victim jogged through a small town.
State Attorney General Chris Carr said in a statement he asked the US Justice Department to open a probe into how the case was handled by two local prosecutors - district attorneys for the Brunswick and Waycross judicial circuits - and the Glynn County Police Department. Video of the shooting captured by a witness in a vehicle near the scene shows Arbery jogging down a narrow two-lane road and around the McMichaels' pickup truck, stopped in the right lane with the driver's door open.
The elder McMichael told police that because he suspected Arbery in a string of recent neighbourhood break-ins, he and his son gave chase in the truck, with Gregory McMichael carrying a .357 Magnum revolver and Travis armed with a shotgun.
They are wasting their time! Even during the presidency of Barack Obama, unarmed blacks in the US were shot and murdered by white cops. All let off Scott free. The white man laws are for the protection of the whites in this apartheid country.
