He was 12 miles from his house and lets be honest, not really dressed like a jogger.

He shouldn't have got shot but it's not quite the story you've been told.

At best, the men had the authority to follow Arbery and send law enforcement to that location, Merritt said. The 911 calls show the dispatcher was asking the men what Arbery is doing that was of criminal concern, Merritt said.

Yes, because stopping, standing still and generally following directions always works out so well for black men in Georgia

In fairness to him, the police had seen it and not brought charges
