One of the white men charged in the Georgia killing of Ahmaud Arbery used a racial slur after shooting the unarmed black man, an investigator for the prosecution said in court on Thursday, an explosive new allegation in one of the cases roiling race relations in the United States.

Special Agent Richard Dial of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation quoted William Bryan as saying Travis McMichael uttered the slur after shooting Ahmaud Arbery in February. Bryan and McMichael are both defendants in the case.

The hearing follows more than a week of demonstrations across the United States over the May 25 death in Minneapolis police custody of George Floyd, also a black American. Four officers have been charged in that case. Gregory McMichael, 64, and his son Travis, 34, are charged with murder and aggravated assault. Bryan, a neighbor of the McMichaels’ who took the cellphone video, was charged with felony murder and attempting to illegally detain and confine.

Also? A shotgun was used & murdered a human-being right? So? Your Point? I mean besides throwing fuel on very tense times was? The whole event from start to finish was a racial slur & a slur against the integrity of our USA

When the media reports they always say Black or White crime. This is America when one America is killed all feel the pain. We are horrified by both murders. If we can't see anyone murdered without color this Nation will NEVER HEAL.

Why throwing gasoline right now? Why making a bigger fire? It’s information that can be withhold for later.

Sickness. America has the worst form of racism. Disgusting.

Hate crime special circumstance. Clearly premeditated so Death Penalty?
