It appears that seven deputies with the Pasquotank County Sheriff's Department in North Carolina are in the freezer pending an investigation into the shooting of Andrew Brown, Jr.

Brown, 42, was unarmed at the time and it appears that one of the deputies shot him when he allegedly was driving away. The incident happened in Elizabeth City, a city about 40 miles south of Norfolk, Virginia.

The junk food media claims the he was being served a warrant on a "drug related charges." They claim he was in possession or had an intent to sell cocaine. He had past drug convictions. 

Big fucking deal!

Drug convictions aren't gun crimes and it appears he never had a gun charge on him.

Pasquotank sheriff Tommy Wooton II had met with the family and is asking the North Carolina Bureau of Investigation and a release of the deputies' body cameras.

Calls for the sheriff to resign.

"I've asked the [North Carolina] State Bureau of Investigation to confirm for me that the releasing of the video will not undermine their investigation," said Wooten. "Once I get that confirmation, our county will file a motion in court, hopefully Monday, to have the footage released."

In the Facebook video, Pasquotank County Chief Deputy Daniel Fogg said their office has called on the North Carolina Sheriffs' Association to appoint an outside sheriff's office to conduct an investigation of all individuals who were involved in the incident.

At a media event Saturday afternoon at Mt. Lebanon AME Zion Church in Elizabeth City, the Rev. William Barber — along with Andrew Brown Jr.'s family, activists, clergy and members of the NAACP — addressed the events surrounding Brown's killing.

"A warrant is not a license to kill," said Barber as he repeatedly called for the release of the body camera footage.

Local Pasquotank County NAACP President Keith Rivers said his group is "demanding the resignation of Pasquotank Sheriff Wooten."

Rivers' statement came minutes before Wooten posted the Facebook video supporting the release of body camera footage. Wooten has not addressed the media or residents in person since the killing of Brown.

Earlier, on Saturday morning, Elizabeth City Mayor Bettie Parker made it clear she wants to see a major change in how police body camera footage is processed and released in North Carolina.

As they stood outside city hall Saturday, Elizabeth City officials emphasized they have not yet seen or had access to the footage.

Under North Carolina law, a judge must generally sign off on the release of law enforcement body camera footage. Leaders of Elizabeth City have demanded the release of the footage, and a coalition of media filed a petition in court to make it public. Governor Roy Cooper has also issued a statement calling for the swift release of the footage.

Black America is getting tired of excuses.

When Parker was asked by WUNC what change she would like to see, the mayor answered: "the law."

Parker said the City Council has submitted a requisition to the county sheriff's office for the release of the footage. If denied, she said the request would go to the state district attorney's office and finally to a court.

"This doesn't make sense. We have to wait forever to get the body cam. Twenty-four hours to 48 hours is enough. So let's change this," said Parker. "I want to see it change as quickly as possible."

Parker said the city's attorney has told city officials "that more than likely we will not get it."

At the news conference, city officials emphasized that they want to see transparency and accountability in the events around Brown's death.

Elizabeth City's police chief, Eddie Buffaloe, said city police were not involved in the warrants for Brown or the events around serving the warrants.
