Georgia AG calls for federal investigation into handling of Ahmaud Arbery case: What we know

Source: USA Today

Georgia's attorney general has requested a federal investigation into the handling of the Ahmaud Arbery case, which had no arrests until more than two months after the 25-year-old man was killed while out for a run.

Arbery, whose story has sent a flurry of shock around the nation, was shot and killed Feb. 23 about two miles from his home in a neighborhood outside Brunswick, Georgia. Two men, a father and son, were arrested May 7 on murder and aggravated assault charges, but not until after the incident had gained wide attention and criticism on social media.

“We are committed to a complete and transparent review of how the Ahmaud Arbery case was handled from the outset,” Attorney General Chris Carr in a press release Sunday.

The request to the U.S. Department of Justice includes, but is not limited to, an investigation into how local officials communicated in the wake of the killing.

asking the federal government is kind of pointless.

They won't do it.

If they do it, it won't be complete. Or transparent.

They won't find fault with the racist good 'ol boys.

Unfortunately with the treasonous racist Barr in charge, he might get it.
