Testimony: Shooter used racist slur as Arbery lay dying
A state investigator alleged Thursday that a white man was heard saying a racist slur as he stood over Ahmaud Arbery's body, moments after fatally shooting the black man with a pump-action shotgun.
The inflammatory revelation came amid a week of angry nationwide protests over law enforcement biases against black victims that erupted after the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis.
In a hearing to determine whether there is enough evidence to proceed with a murder trial, the lead Georgia Bureau of Investigation agent in the case testified that Travis and Greg McMichael and a third man in another pickup, William “Roddie” Bryan, used their trucks to chase down and box in Arbery, who repeatedly reversed directions and ran into a ditch while trying to escape.
Travis McMichael then got out of his truck and confronted Arbery, later telling police he shot him in self-defense after Arbery refused his order to get on the ground, Special Agent Richard Dial said. A close examination of the video of the shooting shows the first shot was to Arbery's chest, the second was to his hand, and the third was to his chest again before he collapsed in the road, Dial said.
“Mr. Bryan said that after the shooting took place before police arrival, while Mr. Arbery was on the ground, that he heard Travis McMichael make the statement, ‘f - - - ing n - - - er,’” Dial said.

People ask stupid ass questions thinking they are rebutting something. People post idiotic memes supporting a wannabe dictator and in defense of white supremacy. This is the lead Georgia Bureau of Investigation agent in the case and he shuts down the lie of Arbery attacking somebody. He proves that racism caused the crime.
It gets old to see a problem that is obvious then get argued with by people who see the problem but choose to deny it or to make excuses to justify it. I said from the start that this was a crime based on racism. I said the Arbery was followed by these men, cut off and forced to defend himself. The the lead Georgia Bureau of Investigation agent in the case has said the same thing.
This is called checkmate.
