Cherry-Lassiter said she watched the 20-second clip repeatedly to take notes about what it showed:

A deputy drove up and blocked Brown, who was in his car, in the driveway.
Brown had his hands on the steering wheel as several deputies ran up, guns drawn, demanding that he show his hands.
Several shots were fired at Brown, who kept his hands on the steering wheel.
Brown then tried to get away from the gunfire and backed out around the sheriff's office vehicle.
Deputies yelled at him to stop and continued firing.
Brown's car ran into a tree down the street from his home, and deputies ran up on the car, continuing to fire shots.
Cherry-Lassiter said she lost count of how many shots were fired, adding that she doesn't know whether any were fired before the 20 seconds of video started.

That the 'independent' autopsy says Mr. Brown was in the back of the head and due to NC state law limiting production to the public of the numerous police videos of this event it is making for a lot of understandable anger by Black persons across the country. Many see a cover up by the police to protect themselves from criminal and civil liability, that they will be 'railroaded' into convictions with jail time due to public pressure. Of course pro-police and conservatives always bring out the criminal record of the victim to justify the LEO's actions. Mr. Brown, despite his attempts to evade arrest, shouldn't have been killed by the police officers. This is going to be another ugly, race dominated, case that no one will win.

A North Carolina judge ruled Wednesday that video from four body cameras associated with the shooting of Andrew Brown Jr. will not be released publicly at this time.
The judge went on the grant, in part, a petition from the Pasquotank County Sheriff's office allowing the disclosure of the body cameras to Brown's family and one of their legal representatives. The disclosure means the family and an attorney can view the videos but will not be given their own copies or allowed to make recordings.

Womble said multiple cameras captured footage. In video, Brown is in a stationary car when officers approach, shouting commands, Womble said.
As officers attempt to open one of the car's doors, the car backs up, making contact with an officer, Womble said. The car then stops, before moving forward and again makes contact with law enforcement, Womble said.
After the car moves forward, shots are heard, Womble said.

On Monday, Chantal Cherry-Lassiter, a family attorney who viewed 20 seconds of the shooting from one deputy's body camera, said it showed an "execution."

Deputies ran up to his car, shooting as Brown put the car in reverse and backed out of the driveway, Cherry-Lassiter said. Deputies continued to shoot at him as he drove off, she said.
"What the 20 seconds shows is that Andrew Brown is not a threat to officers," she told CNN on Tuesday. "As he was being shot at, Andrew was trying to back away from the officers and save his life, save his own life."

Judge Jeffrey Foster said he would give the State Bureau of Investigation and the Pasquotank County Sheriff's Office 30 to 45 days to finish the investigation before allowing the video to be released.

Foster gave authorities 10 days to blur the faces and redact the names of the deputies involved from the video and audio before it will be turned over to Brown's immediate family and one of the family's attorneys.

I wish they would take each of these and address them independently. Not all of these are police brutality. This one with Andrew Brown will need to be scrutinized for sure. But the 16 yo in Ohio Ma'Khia Bryant I would say does not fall into that catagory. That one appears justified as tragic as it is. Looks like Al Sharpton and Benjamin Crump are gonna need supersonic jets to get around the country at the rate these seem to be happening.

Justified? Armed SWAT team for meth and crack sales?

Yet Rioters at the Capital get delayed sentences for mace and phone call?

There is a big problem in policing and enforcement. This case highlights that above all.

Don't forget that drug houses are usually heavily armed and for the most part will never comply with a warrant. I think use of SWAT is justified.

Precisely what China wants to see -- the U.S. self-destruct with no need for intervention.

No idea what you’re talking about...unless you’re suggesting Americans can’t handle having them legal and Dutch/Portuguese people can.

Another case of a police shooting with a lot of protests occurring in North Carolina.

In contradiction to other cases where the police have released videos within hours of a shooting, the office is so far holding back.
7 days of protests .

Video of the Deputies riding in a truck on the way to deliver a warrant of arrest or sales of crack and methamphetamines in March.

8 officers with body cams, and only one 20 second clip was released to the attorneys. The family's attorney released the following,

So far 3 officers have resigned and 7 have been put on administrative leave.

https://www.wral.com/radio-traffic-indi ... /19642106/

Investigations have been launched, but as of now there is no police cam footage for the public.

In this case with 3 officers resigning, I have to suspect something went terribly wrong, or their was miscommunications.

Should the police be as accountable for their mistakes as they are for their successes when it comes to video? The police were quick in Ohio to release bodycam video when it vindicated the officer.
Shouldn't the same be held true when the officers make a mistake, or their are issues with the shooting. or do we need to rely on third party cameras such as in the case of Derick Chauvin.

For the Record, the police never served the warrent or found weapons or drugs with Andrew Brown Jr.

The FBI, and State of NC are investigating.


Police brutality is a very hot topic of discussion that is worth talking about. Police brutality is one of several forms of police misconduct that involves inappropriate police violence. You can read more about this issue at https://paperap.com/free-papers/police-brutality/. Police brutality is widespread in many parts of the country and across states, and even those who persecute it should keep in mind that most male and female police officers throughout the country operate under the direction of state and federal agencies.

Depends on which one, the most businesses burned on a justified shooting.

I think I just read they will let the family view the whole video now. I am at work so can't link. Doesn't make sense they need to release it to the public. In fact I think that should be state law. In the end it would actually cut down on the riots.
