New footage shows 'militarized' sheriff's deputy vehicles rushing to drug dealer Andrew Brown's home before his fatal shooting as pressure mounts on cops to release full bodycam videos
2021-04-28
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Footage shows North Carolina sheriff's deputies in tactical gear rush to home of Andrew Brown

  • Brown was shot in his car in Elizabeth City on April 21; his family finally had access to some footage Monday

  • An independent autopsy shows that Brown, 42, was shot five times, including once in the back of the head

  • The pathologist hired by Brown’s family noted four wounds to the right arm and the one to his head

  • Brown’s son questioned why deputies had to shoot so many times at a man who, he said, posed no threat

  • That came after new video taken by a neighbor shows a group of cops surround his car following the shooting

  • Monday saw the fifth night of demonstrations amid calls for the release of bodycam footage of Brown's killing

  • Civil rights attorney Ben Crump said they saw just 20 seconds of the incident Monday in which Brown had his hands on steering wheel when eight officers opened fire; Crump said Brown had complied with police

  • Crump added: 'If they thought Andrew Brown Jr did something inappropriately and criminal you all would have seen that video by now. They are trying to hide something. They don't want us to see'

  • Brown was described by police as a drug dealer dating back to 1988 and was recently selling narcotics

#1  Militarize? Pretty standard looking pickup there.

Everybody talking about police de-escalating and such, but nobody pointing at the media as they, DM especially included, continue to escalate and incite.

Brown’s son questioned why deputies had to shoot so many times at a man who, he said, posed no threat

Would it help you feel better, little man, if the total number of people needed to contain him only fired once each?
