The Democrats' likely presidential candidate Joe Biden has demanded justice over the killing of an unarmed black man in the US state of Georgia. Mr Biden said his heart went out to the family of Ahmaud Arbery.
Mr Arbery, 25, was jogging in February when confronted by an ex-policeman and his son. Video purported to show the shooting emerged online on Tuesday. A district attorney in Georgia has now ruled that a grand jury should decide whether charges should be brought. An earlier decision by a prosecutor in the Brunswick jurisdiction argued there was no probable cause to arrest Gregory McMichael, 64, and his son Travis, 34.
More than 100 people took part in a protest in Brunswick on Tuesday night, demanding justice for Mr Arbery. How did Arbery die? Mr Arbery was out running in the Satilla Shores neighbourhood of Brunswick in Georgia's Glynn County early in the afternoon on 23 February. In a police report, Gregory McMichael says he saw Mr Arbery and believed he resembled the suspect in a series of break-ins. He and his son armed themselves and pursued him in a pick-up truck. In the police report, Gregory McMichael says he and his son had said "stop, stop, we want to talk to you" and that Mr Arbery had attacked his son.
Shots were fired, with Mr Arbery falling to the street. Mr Arbery's mother, Wanda Cooper, said police told her her son had been involved in a burglary before the incident, but the family say they do not believe the keen jogger had committed a crime and he was unarmed. A number of calls were made to the emergency services around the time of the confrontation, CBS reports.

FEELING up. Damn autocorrect!
Race riots! That will put an end to this covid BS.
That’s because a black woman or girl would stomp a mud hole in his pedo butt and walk it dry. These are children of white libs (based on the occasions we’ve seen, it’s a reasonable assumption), so of course they are not going to say squat.
Will there at least be social distancing when the rioters break into the liquor store?
Well what do you know. THe Democrats may have just found themselves the racial incident they needed to inflame racial strife going intoi the November election.
Every election year Democrats are able to mysteriously harness some incident and drive that issue nationally and inflame racial strife just enough to coincidentally drive the Black vote in November.
Pander bear. Biden is totally irrelevant. “Gee, Joe. Thanks for the advice. We never would have thought of that!”
As always with stories from the scumedia we will find the truth weeks later
Guess we’re going to hear a lot from gropey-joe now, that he’s trying to make us forget about the gropey-girl-tara-thing.
Well, the quickest way to get your reparations is through the creative redistribution of liquor and consumer electronics.
The Democrats are completely melting down.
We have a worldwide pandemic, they’re enacting totalitarian oppression tactics across the nation, unemployment is at 30% and people are scared to go out of their houses and all Biden wants is to dig up social issues?!
Black “jogger” my ass. He was wearing jean shorts that came down three inches below his knees. He was a burglar.
For I’ll side with the race-mongers.
Two grown idiots with a gun approach a black jogger they “suspect” of burglary. They should have called the police.
If these two morons couldn’t handle a single unarmed man without shooting him, they certainly should have called the police.
The two idiots should go to prison.
But then, that's just me.
What is a “keen jogger” and how is that different from one not so keen?
Let's suppose a white jogger named Jake White (don't know whether he is keen or not or even how that is relevant) is involved in burgling houses (as admitted by his mother) is jogging in a neighborhood when confronted by a black ex-policeman and his son. They want him to stop, a struggle ensues and he attacks the son and is shot dead.
Would the newspaper even refer to him as Mr. White? Or just White? Would there be any outrage? Or demands for justice? Would the story even be printed? Or would they just let the cops handle it?
If he's a burglar then where did he stash the stuff he stole? Up the legs of his shorts? And what happened to it? The police didn't report finding anything? Did the two guys who shot him take it?
Sooner or later someone is going to ask Trump his opinion and he’s going to give it. That should knock Biden’s pandering comments off the front page.
But, it doesn't seem to me that Arbery was juts out for a run. He might have been running from something or someone, but I think that calling him a jogger is probably not accurate.
On the other hand, people can't just go chasing after burglary suspects with guns.
