Police Body Camera Footage Vindicates The Police



"After a last-minute delay, North Carolina authorities finally allowed family to view a heavily redacted version of body camera footage in last week’s deadly police shooting of Andrew Brown Jr. — an unarmed Black man who apparently tried to drive off from sheriff’s deputies as they moved in to arrest him. Only two family members were allowed in to see a small clip of the video, which was about 20 seconds long, The video seen by the family did not begin from the start of the confrontation with Brown, lawyers said.

Attorneys said shots were already being fired at the man as the 20-second video began. Lassiter said Brown’s hands remained on the steering wheel as officers continued shooting at him. At least seven or eight officers were on the scene; Some of the officers were SWAT team members and some may have been plain-clothed, lawyers said. Only one officer’s bodycam footage was shown to the family and no other footage or dashcam video was presented to the family."


Some folks may complain that all of the body cam footage wasn't released but none of that matters...everyone knows you only need a few seconds of video footage in order to tell the full story of what happened -- and the full story is, the police were well in their right to shoot this guy because he was a convicted felon and was being served a warrant for another felony....If you are a felon and you try to evade arrest, that is an admission of guilt and the police should be able to shoot you right then and there....and save the taxpayers money...
More and more I see the over use of SWAT and no knock raids as the problem. For example Breana Taylor. I don't blame the homeowner for firing after their door is breeched in the middle of the night. On the other hand if you shoot at cops you will get shot regardless of race, creed or color. The issue was that there was no business authorizing such a raid. Period.
What's missing there is that you are referring to a raid in a black neighborhood, which cops perceive as far more dangerous
ANY raid should be dangerous otherwise it should not be a raid. it should be an arrest or search warrant.
