Did a quick search through the article, can't find a mention of any attempt to cover up the killing of Ahmaud Arbery, can you elaborate? Is there an ongoing investigation into this and is there some way we can help? It is insane that in 2022 the authorities in America are still complicit in lynchings and that nobody does anything, it disgusts me. How long will this indiscriminate murder of BIPOC continue, why can't America do better? What is it about Americans that drive them to murder BIPOC?
The whole second paragraph describes how no arrests were made, and the only reason anyone was punished was because one of the murderers ordered his attorney to send the video of the murder to the news.
>Former Brunswick District Attorney Jackie Johnson was indicted in September 2021 for "showing favor and affection" to Gregory (her former subordinate) during the investigation, and for obstructing law enforcement by directing that Travis not be arrested.[42][43] I
I see, forgive my English, I guess because I'm not a native speaker I miss the nuances of how what you quoted at all matches the definition of cover up, thanks for explaining. I will listen and learn, and I hope Americans can listen and learn to not murder BIPOC and that BIPOC lives matter, but I guess with the poor schooling system there is no funding for this, and likely even if there was funding to teach children that BIPOC lives mattered the US supreme court will ban it.
