The Elizabeth City community has continued to demand justice for #AndrewBrownJr, a father of seven. The local NC District Attorney, R. Andrew Womble, refused to prosecute the officers who fatally shot Brown.
Journalists and the community in Elizabeth City have been asking for the full video footage of the killing of Andrew Brown Jr. from the body cams and dash cam to be released since he was killed in April.
District Attorney Womble argued against releasing video footage in a hearing in Pasquotank County saying, “You can not swing a skunk in front of a group of people then ask them not to smell it.”
The judge did not order release of the video.
