It’s not the news the family of Andrew Brown Jr. was hoping for when a district attorney in North Carolina announced that deputies were “justified” in fatally shooting him during an arrest. Dramatic bodycam video shows Brown, 42, trying to escape in his car as police close in to arrest him on the suspicion of selling drugs. Cops fired at him 14 times. Brown was struck in the head and died. The D.A. said the video showed that Brown was using his car as a weapon.
