A funeral home that belongs to a Black council member who sympathizes with the death of Andrew Brown Jr. was allegedly urinated on by a police officer in uniform.
Elizabeth City, North Carolina, council member Gabriel Adkins says he has surveillance footage of an officer urinating on his private property, blatantly a sign of disregard for Black lives, according to The Washington Post.
Hours after Brown was shot, Adkins shared his feelings about the shooting with his colleagues. “As a Black man sitting here tonight, I’m afraid. I’m afraid that I may be the next one, you know,” Adkins said, implying that he might be the next Brown, a 42-year-old unarmed Black man who was shot and killed by police in his car.
