While they shouldn't have gotten out of the truck and should have just followed him, they haven't broken any laws. The video doesn't show them point the gun at him, doesn't show them shoot him in cold blood, etc. The video doesn't show anything other than the guy attacking the other guy with the shotgun. The video does show something being dropped, him running in non-running attire, and him starting the fight.

I really hope the cops actually investigated at the scene, got the object that was dropped. I hope they get cell phone location data to see if he jogged a lot and what he normally wears. If there are pictures of the break in and suspect we need to see those. Too many times they don't put any effort into their investigation and just go with what they believe happened.

All the DAs that passed the case on did it because this is a lose lose case that will be very hard to win. Unless there is evidence before this that show them doing something that they lied about, the video doesn't show them doing anything. The GBI was going to arrest them no matter what and it may be safer for them in prison isolation than being at home with the media stoking story up. Calling this murder instead of manslaughter or getting shot after fighting someone with a gun helps to hype the story.

I hope some clear evidence comes out because right now it's 2 cases of wrong that ended up with someone dying. The only illegal part was the fight. There's no way they can get a fair trial whether guilty or innocent. Video doesn't show what happened before this, doesn't show what they said to him, and doesn't show why he stopped. Both of them could have been justified but we won't know beyond a reasonable doubt without some more evidence.
