Ahmaud Arbery killing reignites debate over sharing graphic viral videos
Activists credit the clip with prompting a grand jury request, but many viewers found the images highly distressing
The outrage surrounding the viral video of 25-year-old Ahmaud Arbery being shot just outside Brunswick, Georgia, is what prompted prosecutors to request a grand jury to consider charges, according to many social justice activists.
The footage released this week shows Arbery jogging down a narrow two-lane road. A white law enforcement officer and his son, whose truck is stopped nearby, shoot Arbery within seconds of confronting him.
