    Do I believe his race played a role in their assumptions about him? Yes

    Do you believe it’s possible for any white person to judge any black person based on anything other than race? Is it wrong if a black person judges a cop on sight alone?

    By the way it’s wrong in both case but I can understand why some people do it in certain instances.

    It is.

    Did you know that the original DA is up on charges for hiding evidence in this case. She didn’t want to prosecute the men, and she tried to hide the cell phone evidence. The ONLY reason they were prosecuted was that the cell phone evidence was leaked, (by a 3rd prosecutor) and the outcry from the public was too much to hide from. The second prosecutor kept it under wraps also ;)

    The state had the cell phone video for months, and refused to prosecute. So yeah, they are kinda racist in this case

    Why? The person they had seen on the videos was black, the guy who I think it was the son had confronted early was black, the guy seen leaving the house early was black. So it wasn't an assumption. It was fact. Had the guy on the videos been white and the guy the the son had confronted was white and the guy seen leaving the house earlier was white I have no reason they would have pursued Arbery. I think the only thing the prosecution brought in was when the 911 call was made they OH MY GOSH described him as black. If he was white I have no reason to believe they would have reported him as white.

    As I said back when it occurred and I see nothing presented in the trial I see nothing that shows that they just decided they'd go kill a black guy that day.

    And the jury said what they did violated the law. That they could not seek coverage under a citizen arrest or self defense and their actions went beyond what the law allows and they will face a severe punishment for it.

    I found this from September in which the 1st prosecutor claims to have recused herself from the investigation because one of the defendants used to work for her. The 2nd prosecutor also claims to have recused himself for that reason. Will keep looking for more information:

    Nobody? That’s why this trial isn’t nearly as hot as the Rittenhouse trial. Because everyone already saw this coming. The 3 “defendants” in this trial were idiots for trying to take the law into their own hands. Nobody cares that they are locked up.

    My guess as well, but some think otherwise.

    Hopefully they will properly reflect on those predictions in the future.

    The PHYSICAL altercation was started by Arbrey. At the front of the truck, with both of them just standing there, the three knowing the police would be arriving and minute, Arbrey moved on the son. Regardless of what occurred before, I have no reason to believe that had he not moved on the gun, which you can argue he had a right to do so, that he would not have been shot. He tried to get control of the gun, and you can argue he had a right to do so in self defense, had he not tried to do that I have no reason to believe the son would have just shot him standing there.

    Do you agree with that or do you believe they just decided they would go find a black guy to shot that day for the fun of it?

    I couldn't help but notice that after the unjustified killing of a child, Tamir Rice, and Floyd, and over two hundred others killed by police since Floyd, the political right is applauding ONE CASE OF JUSTICE and some think it is proof of an absence of systemic racism and an absence of racism on the right, when it's neither.

    He was party to felony that resulted in someone's death. He should have looked for a plea deal and offered to be a witness for the prosecution.

    It doesn't make sense to me that people are forming their opinion on this and the Rittenhouse case based on which side they're on politically. Both juries reached the logical conclusion.

    Ever see a 1a or 2a audit video? The right just goes about seeking accountability differently...

    I really enjoy those 1a audit videos. Amazing how often cops ignore the law.
