One of the guys clearly tells him to freeze.
Indicating he wasnt intent on shooting him,just hold him until the cops arrived.
The guy then bum rushed him and got shot.
Of course it didnt help that CNN decided it was a good idea to cover part of the vid with their banner.
I'll wait to see more evidence on this one.
I want to know whose video it is. And why he/ she was trailing the jogger.
If I had to guess I would say it was a victim of the jogger and they were following him to keep him in sight.
These guys didnt randomly pick some black jogger to shoot and there's obviously more to the story than the vid shows.
I agree. Again, if all one has is the video, then that jogger attacked the man from the truck. It's clear as glass.

The man was driving
behind the truck when it pulled sideways and blocked the jogger from going by them. The guy could obviously see that something interesting was going down so he recorded it like everyone with a cell phone does these days. How much footage is there from every single protest and street fight? People get it on video. I don't know why you consider THAT the suspicious part of this whole scenario.
where do you see that footage? please what time in the video shows us that? go ahead,
That's not all they have though. They have a statement from the men claiming they were attempting a citizen's arrest in spite of not having witnessed the commission of a crime by the victim as required by Georgia law.
Just another demonstration of the "Zimmerman" mentality.
O.C.G.A. §17-4-60 says that a “private person may arrest an offender if the offense is committed in his presence or within his immediate knowledge. If the offense is a felony and the offender is escaping or attempting to escape, a private person may arrest him upon reasonable and probable grounds of suspicion.” In English, this means that a citizen may arrest someone if he sees that person commit the crime. However, if the crime is a felony, and the offender is trying to get away, a citizen can arrest that person if they reasonably believe that the person committed the offense.
Legalese — Citizens Arrest!
Now...you do make a valid point here which is pretty rare for you.
The question is did the white guys really try to arrest or restrain the black jogger?
Now I did read someone saying one of the white guys said they were attempting to make a citizens arrest ...as in that was their intention...but did they really do that?
When you watch the whole video as in the complete video not the editied ones presented by the msm....you will see a white guy in the bed of the truck and the white kid to the front and left of the truck with a gun.....you will see the black jogger run around the truck and then veer left and attack the white guy with the gun...there was nothing to keep the black jogger from continuing on down the road....now what verbal exchanges went on is not clear ...but from watching the video I see no evidence they actually tried to restrain or arrest the black jogger.
According to the police report, Gregory McMichael told officers he and his son first tried to stop Arbery by shouting, “Stop, stop, we want to talk to you!” The father claimed Arbery attacked his son and they got into a struggle for a shotgun.
Thus if that is the case they actually did nothing that would constitute an actual physical arrest.
and yes...the law on citizens arrest in
Georgia does say one must see the the suspect actually do something of a illegal nature before the can conduct a citizens arrest....from what I have read they do claim they saw a video of the black guy doing a burglary.
I think they have good evidence (the video) of demonstrating they did nothing that would actually constitute an actual arrest or even attempt to arrest....hollering at someone to stop is not or does not constitute an arrest.
Legal definition of an arrest:
An
arrest is using
legal authority to deprive a person of his or her freedom of movement. An
arrest is generally made with an
arrest warrant. ... Probable cause is a reasonable belief of the police officer in the guilt of the suspect, based on the facts and information prior to the
arrest.
Legal Definition of a Citizen's Arrest............The forcible detaining of an individual suspected of having committed a crime by a person who is not a police or otherwise certified
law enforcement officer, such as a private
citizen, a private security firm employee or a store employee or cashier, and without the authority of an
arrest warrant issue from a court of .
Thus we see that by either definition of 'arrest' what these ole Georgia Boys did does not constitute arrest in any way shape or form......as in there was no physical restraint placed on the black jogger....he could have just kept happily jogging on down the street as he should have and he would still be alive today...instead of veering off to the left and rushing and attacking an ole boy with a loaded gun....crazy to do that...absolute nuts.
