A state of emergency was declared Monday for Elizabeth City as the family of Andrew Brown Jr. prepared to view bodycam footage of the Black man's fatal shooting by sheriff's deputies in the North Carolina town.
The family and its representatives plan on viewing the video at the Pasquotank County Sheriff's Office before holding a news conference, lawyers Ben Crump, Harry Daniels and Bakari Sellers said in a statement.

GIVE UP THE TAPES……….WE, THE PEOPLE DEMAND IT !
No we don’t
No
Come and get’em!
Really. An attorney before the body cam footage???
Always. They always do that. And he’s corrupt
@DP no. Wrong. You can’t get it without a Court order in NC. It’s been that way since 2016. Everyone there knows it. Even the media. The sheriffs office literally doesn’t have it until a judge releases it. Regardless of what the footage shows, everyone there will
Completely ignore it and continue just like this.
@David Hollenshead they didn’t just go to his house and decide to shoot him because he’s Black. They Obvs wanted to arrest him or they wouldn’t have gone to his house. And it’s highly unlikely that he ran to his car and drove off and cops started shootings or no reason.
@David Hollenshead I can see you have literally zero knowledge of any kind. Cops cannot, and should not, let people “run away” as you put it. There is a very real risk that that person, with prior criminal history and now resisting arrest, could become a danger to the public.
@SBH99 You’re probably right but I know that area pretty well and will be the first to say that those small town, eastern NC cops are no joke. They may as well be Proud Boy members. They aren’t afraid to use their guns. AND they are very cocky.
America was not ready for democracy! Sad .
You’re better off giving America Dictatorship
Honestly.
*WHO ARE THE COPS?*
Look up tony timpa. Media intentionally want racial tensions.
never heard about it. wow. no one mentioned it.
Racism is embedded in very American institution. It already exists, it’s not being made up by the media. Furthermore, the media also perpetuates the stereotypes of black people which have white uninformed people or racists thinking that these killings by the police are justified cause yall think if us as animals
@jaci frankie yes it is. Against white people and East Asian men.
all Corporate media are conspiring By Manufacturing Consent,
When a platform is so weak and unstable that those standing on in fear the news toppling it over, only a fool would stand on it in the first place.
@DriveInFreak lol keep repeating yourself
@Matthew Hanlon It’s all bullshit like that is worth, and it’s true.
@DriveInFreak can you form a coherent sentence?
@Matthew Hanlon The idea that you don’t understand speaks volumes.
Smoke much pole?
Praying for NC
OMG those klansmen in blue are at it again
@SBH99 🤐🤫🤐🤫
People in this area of NC are a different breed. Same way in the other rural counties too. Stubborn as hell and mean.
Since nothing else seems to make them understand that resisting can lead to possibly being shot AFTER you have broken the law, maybe Dr Sues should publish a childrens book titled “Comply, Comply so You Wont Die” complete with illustrations of black people smiling with there hands in the air after being detained. Christ people, its not that difficult
@Flea Farts both parties are run by white supremacists
Joe Biden’s America
was anything of value lost?
Go to there houses and ask them what’s up?!?!?
Lmao
When a court ordered the police to release a dash cam video of the shooting thirteen months later, on November 24, 2015, it showed McDonald had been walking away from the police when he was shot 16 times.
And the cop was charged and
Convicted.
The sheriff said at 11:30am they could see the video and it’s passed that time. What’s the hold up? Why are they stalling?
Running into editing issues.
It’s never in history been a House 🏡 Search 🔦 Warrant of any White People house 🏡 in Elizabeth City 🌃 Factz💯
All footlocker employees are on notice!
Open the gate!!
Cha Ching! These guys get better suits every week.
SLAVERY NEVER ENDED, IT JUST CHANGED HANDS – NOW WE GO TO FIELDS (AKA WORK) AND THEY STAY HOME !!!
Actually it still exists in the Democrat Party. The party of slavery, KKK and Jim Crow. If a black conservative does not want to be a Democrat they are berated and whipped because they want to escape the plantation. Democrats do not want black people to be free. They need compliant, dependent people
@Jean Knitter Both the Demorats&Rebelcans are klan groups😈😈
Ben Crump is a busy guy. He is representing a lot of families.
