So what? Why can’t we self police??some rural areas don’t have a lot of cops and don’t need themWhat was that description, anyway? That he was black?
Yeah, i saw the video. In that video i saw Ahmaud Arbery punching the son. This looks like self defense to me.Anyone else see the video? It's out on the internet now. Not surprising it's going to the grand jury now. They hunted him down, blocked his jogging path and forced the issue. 3 shots fired total while the father just stands in the back of the truck and watches.
I see two guys with guns blocking the road. They can call it a citizens arrest all they want. But I already posted the definition of a citizens arrest in Georgia and this is not it. Ahmaud jogs to his right, back to his left, then back to his right to go around the truck and to avoid the son who is standing by the open door of the truck. When Ahmaud runs around the right side in an attempt to get away from these guys, the son clearly moves from his spot to the front of the truck to meet him. At this point they have him pinned in.
As I said before I even saw the video, these guys had no authority to chase him down and question him. This does not qualify as a citizens arrest. They caused the incident and put Ahmaud in a defensive situation. Ahmaud doesn't know these guys who are pointing guns at him and he has no idea what they are going to do. Ahmaud did not have any stolen property on him. At worst, he was looking through a window at a construction site that these two guys did not own. This is going to a grand jury as it should.
