Georgia Gov. Kemp calls video of Ahmaud Arbery's fatal shooting 'absolutely horrific.'
"I have full confidence in Vic Reynolds and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation," Kemp said."I know that they will be working around the clock to thoroughly and independently investigate Mr. Arbery's death to find the truth."
Kemp declined to comment when asked whether Glynn County police have properly investigated the case. Police say Arbery was chased by Brunswick resident Gregory McMichael, 64, and his son Travis McMichael, 34, before the fatal shooting."I've told Director Reynolds to follow the facts, follow the truth and to administer justice," Kemp said.
But family attorney Lee Merritt told MSNBC on Thursday:"The Glynn County Police Department should have arrested these men on the day of the shooting. All they needed was probable cause that a crime was committed."Blayne Alexander is an NBC News correspondent.
