Andrew Brown Jr's shooting death is ruled as justified and cops will NOT face charges: DA comes under fire after showing bodycam claiming the drug dealer was shot five times as he drove towards them but it's argued he was driving away
2021-05-18
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Andrew Brown Jr's family on Tuesday slammed the decision not to charge the cops who shot the black man

  • 'To say this shooting was justified, despite the known facts, is both an insult and a slap in the face,' they said

  • The family's attorneys said they plan to file a federal lawsuit against the Pasquotank County Sheriff's Office

  • They will petition the Justice Department to file federal charges against the three deputies who shot Brown

  • Brown, 42, was shot five times outside his home in Elizabeth City, North Carolina, on April 21 by deputies attempting to serve drug-related search and arrest warrants

  • At a Tuesday press conference District Attorney Andrew Womble said a state investigation found that the deputies' use of force against Brown was reasonable

  • The DA also played previously unseen body-camera video of the shooting

  • It shows the deputies confronting Brown with their guns drawn as he sat behind the wheel of his car

  • Womble said Brown began to drive his car directly at one of the officers before he was shot - giving the cops reason to fear for their lives

  • However Brown's family argued: 'Not only was the car moving away from officers, but four of them did not fire their weapons - clearly they did not feel that their lives were endangered'

#8  if the dude used his car as a weapon by trying to run over the cops, who cares if he was driving away.

if the cops had a clean shot they were absolutely justified in taking out the trash, regardless of which direction he was driving. once he used that car as a deadly weapon, he forfeited everything
