Fair enough but if you kill somebody with intent and you have no reason to then that would be murder. To say something is murder doesn't require a conviction. You know I could find a person who is shot in the back of the head and have no idea who did it but I can still reasonably say that that person was murdered.When the thread was started no charges had been filed. Murder wasn't an option at the time.
If he is no longer a police officer then he didn't act appropriately.
I don't know if she's a police officer currently or not I don't know if he's fired or retired.
Gregory McMichael, 64, and his son Travis, 34, were taken into custody by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and charged with aggravated assault as well as murder in the killing of Ahmaud Arbery in the town of Brunswick, the agency said in a statement.
The Feb. 23 shooting death of Arbery, 25, as he ran unarmed through the small town was captured on video by an unnamed witness in a vehicle near the scene. The video’s wide broadcast in recent days ignited outrage among activists, politicians and celebrities who saw the incident as the latest case of white perpetrators killing a black man and going unpunished.
It was not immediately clear if the two men had retained attorneys.
A district attorney appointed to handle the high-profile case after two other prosecutors recused themselves said on Wednesday he would ask a county grand jury to decide if the two men should face charges.
The men’s arrest by the GBI, one day after the agency opened an investigation into the case, appears to have sidelined any grand jury probe.
The video footage shows Arbery jogging down a narrow two-lane road and around the McMichaels’ white pickup truck, which had stopped in the right lane with its driver’s door open.
As Arbery crosses back in front of the truck, a gunshot is fired.
Arbery is then seen struggling with a man holding a long gun as a second man stands in the bed of the truck brandishing a revolver.
Two more shots are heard before Arbery stumbles and falls face down onto the asphalt.
The GBI said it was Travis McMichael who fired the fatal round.
According to a police report, Gregory McMichael, a former Glynn County police officer and district attorney’s investigator, told detectives the incident began when he spotted Arbery from his front yard “hauling ass” down the street.
McMichael told police that, because he suspected Arbery in a string of recent neighborhood 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.
Gregory McMichael said Arbery began to “violently attack” his son, fighting him for the shotgun, prompting Travis to open fire.

You know I could find a person who is shot in the back of the head and have no idea who did it but I can still reasonably say that that person was murdered. Murder in this context is an act. Not a conviction
So you think that one of both of the accused are currently police officers, despite this post?
I only stated that murder is an act in this context it can be conviction in other context.False premise.
I don't understand why it's a false premise.
A crime like murder has to be first committed for there to be a hate crime.
thank you. That's all you had to say.He is no longer a police officer,
you told me he wasn't not that he no longer was. That's two different things.You do know, because I told you, and you ignored prior posts that prove he isn't.
It could mean he no longer works for that department. If you're a former Maricopa county deputy that doesn't mean you're not a deputy in bexar county.Here's another post you ignored:
You do know what "former" means, don't you?
Who told you that?
Well there it is, the dumbest fucking thing I've read all day.
Then I'd suggest you learn.
thank you. That's all you had to say.
Were any of these people involved the police officers?
No. Is that relevant?
Yup, you just wrote it. Why do you deny the murder was racially motivated?
Trying to grab a shotgun out of somebody's hands isn't too bright.
How can I if you're not going to explain it.
To me it looks like the victim is attempting to stop someone who has been stalking him from shooting him the only way he felt he possibly could have at that moment.
In the term hate crime. If something is not a criminal act then it can't be a hate crime because it's not a crime. Legally speaking of course.
Why do you deny the murder was racially motivated?
Legally speaking it has more than one definition. It is an act and it is a conviction.So you don't define murder by the legal definition but you want to define "hate crime" by that standard?
Legally speaking it has more than one definition. It is an act and it is a conviction. Hate crime only has one.
