Many protesters expressed frustrations at the long wait before any arrests were made in the shooting death of Ahmaud Arbery, and fears that the justice system will fail them.
A white former police officer and his son were arrested in Georgia on Thursday and charged with murder in the death of an unarmed black man, an incident that has sparked furor in the community and among civil rights activists across the United States. Gloria Tso reports.That dismays many civil rights activists, who have called for a federal investigation. A group of professional athletes joined that call on Friday in a letter to Attorney General Bill Barr and FBI director Christopher Wray.
“The work is just beginning,” John Perry, president of the Brunswick NAACP chapter, told the crowd. “We can’t stop now. We can’t lose focus and we’ve got to make sure the prosecution gets done.”Anthony Johnson, 40, said Arbery was his neighbour for about a decade. He said he wants to see the McMichaels get the same treatment in the legal system as black defendants.
Some of the encounter was apparently recorded in two 911 calls, with a dispatcher trying to understand what the problem was.“I just need to know what he was doing wrong,” the dispatcher responds, in part. The runner attempts to pass the pickup on the passenger side, moving just beyond the truck, briefly outside the camera’s view. A gunshot sounds, and the video shows the runner grappling with a man over what appears to be a shotgun or rifle. A second shot can be heard, and the runner can be seen punching the man. A third shot is fired at point-blank range. The runner staggers a few feet and falls face down.
Another outrage. I'd love to kill those two rednecks with fire. Id nail their doors shut petrol bomb. And gas mains in local light them hillbilly f32kers up. Canada still celebrates Victoria day Orange Order day. They inspired KKK. Why not Hitler day?
Cold blooded murder and should be treated as a hate crime! So callous and terrible!

Nice headline. Don’t ever remember reading one like that where a black man shot a white person . That probably just doesn’t happen then i guess After an innocent man, who was unarmed and simply going for a run through his neighbourhood, was chased down and executed in cold blood by three White supremacists.
