For more than a week, protesters have marched in the streets of a small, quaint, North Carolina city that has been rocked by the police killing of Andrew Brown Jr.
Civil rights leaders and attorneys have converged on Elizabeth City demanding answers and justice after Pasquotank County Sheriff's Office deputies fatally shot Brown and the department said it could not release body camera footage to the public for legal reasons. A North Carolina judge also denied requests to publicly release the video from four police body cameras. Brown's family was shown a short snippet of the footage of the shooting on Monday that a family attorney described as an "execution." The family was granted a petition to review additional video in the coming days.
