Trump Says There Could Be 'Things We Didn't See' In Ahmaud Arbery Video

[CatWoman]

President Donald Trump said the inicident in which Ahmaud Arbery was killed could have had "something that we didn't see on tape," in reference to the video that showed the chase and physical confront ation that ended in the shooting.

Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office on Thursday (May 7), he offered condolences to Arbery's family. "My heart goes out to the parents and to the loved ones of the young gentleman. It's a very sad thing."

Trump said he was expecting a full report on what happened but seemed to imply the tape doesn't tell the whole story. "If you saw, things went off tape and then back on tape. But it was a troubling, I mean to anyone that watched it, certainly it was a disturbing or troubling video. No question about that,” he said.

As far as what comes next in the case, Trump said he trusts those handling the case. "They have very good law enforcement in the state of Georgia," he said, "and I am sure they are going to come up with exactly what happened."

Trump said he had not seen video of the incident, which was released on Tuesday (May 5).

1. Fuck him. We know plenty, like the three of them conspired to box in a black jogger.

Everything that follows flowed from those initial choices to call in his friends and use two vehicles and three firearms to "detain" the black jogger.

I don't give a fuck what happened out of view, no weapon was found on the victim who faced two armed men chasing him.

19. THIS ⬆️ And the #3 guy will roll over on the other two, since it went to the next level.

2. "It was a disturbing or troubling video" which Trump hasn't seen

So how does he know what's on it, and whether it's disturbing or troubling? Jackass.

There's no situation so bad that this ass-faced shitheel motherfucker can't make it worse.

4. lol

he's such an idiot, isn't he?

[rampartc]

3. i guess there are good people who hunt black citizens fot fun

what i did not see in that video did not include any kind of crime or attempt to avoid the shooters until the guns were out. that is when i clearly saw a futile attempt at self defense.

[roamer65]

5. There is nothing else on that video that could substantiate Ahmaud's murder.

ZERO. You racist fuck, Dump.

6. perhaps there will be once the Sharpies have done their work

[Bucky]

7. Oh, the irony of anything Trump touches being called a "sharpie"

[Drunken Irishman]

8. lol for all the talk about Trump telling it like it is, he's generally a coward.

he can't ever make a definitive claim. It's always playing both sides - and that's what makes it worse. Hell, if he'd just come out and say what he's likely thinking, I'd at least give him credit about being open with his racism. But this is such a fucking weak response that is essentially a non-response.

Contrast that with Biden's and you'll see what I mean.

[smirkymonkey]

10. +1000

He is such a repulsive POS. We all know what he's thinking. His bullshit just makes it even worse.

9. This is why the very fine people will always love their very fine president

Bloodthirsty Racist Fuckwads

11. another twist: Bond denied for father, son charged with murder in Ahmaud Arbery case

BRUNSWICK, Ga. (WTOC) -- Bond has been denied for two men charged in the shooting death of Ahmaud Arbery.

They appeared before a judge this afternoon.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation announced the arrests and murder charges late Thursday night. Travis McMichael and his father, Gregory, were booked into Glynn County jail.

Cellphone video shows Travis McMichael shooting Arbery in the middle of the road in his own Brunswick neighborhood in February.

Arbery’s family says he was chased and killed for no good reason.

14. Of course he does.

Like clockwork.

[Wounded Bear]

17. That's one of those "meaningless truths" that RWers thrive on...

because, yeah he could be right about that. Maybe not EVERYTHING was in the vid.

But the sane ones of us are in "C'mon man!" mode over this. Mr Arbery was Travvon'd. Plain and simple.

20. Fucking racist piece of shit

I seriously want him to die a painful death from Covid.
