(Reuters) - The three white men charged with the murder of a Black jogger in south Georgia pleaded not guilty Friday morning in Chatham County Superior Court, in a case that spurred a national outcry after cellphone video of the shooting appeared on the internet.

Ahmaud Arbery, 25, who was killed on Feb. 23 just outside the coastal town of Brunswick, became a touchstone in cross-country protests over racial and social justice in the United States.

A former law enforcement officer, Gregory McMichael, 64, and his son Travis, 34, are charged with murder and aggravated assault.

Their neighbor who took the cellphone video, William "Roddie" Bryan Jr., 50, was charged with murder and attempt to illegally detain and confine.

Don't know why it's taken so long to charge these assholes

1. Two main reasons why it's taken so long...

One: Arbery was black the thugs are white.

Two: Local police and DA connections to the killers.
"Good ol' boy" network.

6. Some of those local officials need to be fired. Nt

2. Yes you do, sadly

But I guess it’s an improvement that they were charged at all.

3. Why? Because they were "scared"?

4. They're being protected of course

being protected by their racist brethren in law enforcement.
