Cellphone video shows a Georgia jogger allegedly ambushed by 2 gunmenCooper said when police told her that her youngest son was shot and killed inside a home during a burglary she had no reason to question it "because it was authority talking."
It wasn't until after Cooper did her own research and read local media reports that she says she started to question what police said.
The district attorneys in Brunswick and Waycross Counties have recused themselves from the case, citing conflicts of interest because of professional ties to Gregory McMichael, who had a lengthy career as an investigator in the Brunswick district attorney’s office before recently retiring. He also worked for several years as an officer in the Glynn County Police Department.
Before the Waycross district attorney, George Barnhill, removed himself from the investigation, he wrote a three-page report that said there was insufficient probable cause to issue arrest warrants for the McMichaels and Williams, according to the documents obtained by*The New York Times.
Absolutely disgusting. This is what real racism and police misconduct look like. Not a former General getting arrested for lying to the FBI repeatedly, but the police helping to cover up the murder of a black man who's only crime was to be out jogging. They should all go to jail. The father and son and every one in the police department and prosecutors office who decided to let a murder of black man slide because Georgia is still in the 40's socially.
