Moments after shooting Ahmaud Arbery, Travis McMichael was overheard calling the young black man a "fucking n-----" as he lay dying on the pavement, according to testimony Thursday from the state law enforcement agent overseeing the case.

Richard Dial, a special agent for the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and lead investigator in Arbery's case, said during a probable cause hearing Thursday that William "Roddie" Bryan Jr., who participated in the three-man chase that led to Arbery's February death, overheard Travis call the 25-year-old black man the slur. The comment came as the men were awaiting police, according to Dial.



Arbery was jogging around the suburban Georgia neighborhood of Satilla Shores on Feb. 23 when Greg McMichael, Travis' father, determined he was a burglary suspect. He and Travis had apparently seen recent surveillance video of Arbery entering a home that was under construction nearby, although the owner of that home said nothing was ever stolen.

McMichael was a retired police officer and investigator for the county's district attorney. In fact, he was carrying a police-issued revolver during the encounter with Arbery. Local police on at least one occasion had told the homeowner to rely on McMichael for help if any trespassers came onto the vacant property.

On May 7, the McMichaels were arrested by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and charged with murder and aggravated assault after months of pleading from Arbery's family, and the case changing prosecutors over apparent conflicts of interest due to Greg McMichael's long law enforcement career.

This entire thread is gonna be every shock face imaginable. Someone who isn't racist doesn't jump in their pickup truck, armed, to pursue a black man running through their neighborhood.

I'm not typically a supporter of capital punishment. But this is one of those rare exceptions. Death by firing squad for both.

Is it on the video/audio or is it just from the word of the scumbag that taped it all???

Not saying at all it didn't happen but that dude's playing ball with the prosecutors.

And of course, Georgia is one of the handful of states left that does NOT have a Hate Crime law.

Not surprising but still really fucking sad. Probably the last thing he heard in this life.

Edit: ^and yeah totally infuriating that the cops probably knew about this and still sat on the case. ACAB.

As if you need any more proof these three were racist shitbags. Hopefully they'll bring federal hate crime charges against him, but I am sure Barr will tut-tut that and sweep those away.
