CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The FBI Charlotte Field Office said it is opening a federal civil rights investigation into the fatal deputy shooting of Andrew Brown Jr.

Brown was shot and killed by a Pasquotank County deputy last week.

In a press conference Tuesday, the Brown family and their lawyers revealed the autopsy results that showed he was shot five times after police tried to execute a search warrant at a home in Elizabeth City. One of those bullets was a fatal shot to the back of the head.

FBI agents will work with the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of North Carolina and the Civil Rights Division at the Department of Justice to determine whether federal laws were violated, spokesperson Shelley Lynch said in an email.

2. One thing is for sure, the so called "deputy" wanted to kill, and was sure he was.."was going..

to get away with it......That is for sure...

...The last thing the "deputy" ever thought is that he would face time in jail, or have a trial for what
he did. Just like Chauvin, the very last thing he could imagine was facing consequences for what he
did...That fellow, and we will read about him a lot, was...totally sure he would get away with it &
face ..."no consequences"

3. The whole town has 18,000 people..The cop knew the guy, and wanted to " kill him"...

..It wasn't some kind of ..."mistake"....This was .."on purpose" in my opinion.

5. DOJ needs to open a Civil Rights investigation into January 6

If ever there was an action and intent to violate Civil Rights, it would be the insurrection. This was an attempt to deny the Civil Rights of 84 million Americans.

Imagine the discovery as you serve subpoenas on organizations involved in it...including Donnie Dipshit, his fucked-up family, donors and the Retrumplican Party

If nothing else, it would properly frame January 6 as an attack on the rights of 84 million Americans.
