not in the city of elizabeth city. in any other city. to all the families and law enforcement officers who are dealing with this, my prayers go out to you. >> the mayor of elizabeth city also said that this place is now a microcosm of the national problem that they see with police use of force and the shooting and killing of people of color. so there is a lot of concern among the community. people asking why it's taking this long to reveal body camera footage. and here in north carolina it actually requires a court order. so the city council met in an emergency meeting to be able to agree that they are going to file formally to request that footage on monday. cnn is also a part of 14 news organizations in a coalition making a similar request and normal filing on monday as well. jim? >> good, yes, because we need to see that footage. the public deserves to see it. natasha chen, we know you'll be staying on top of that. thanks so much. all of that adding to an emotional week for the nation that saw a jury convict a former minneapolis polic

brian todd in elizabeth city, north carolina.ppreciate your reporting. >>> joining us is marq claxon. according to the family, they believe andrew brown jr. was in his vehicle and attempted to drive away from the officers. what is the protocol for when that happens? >> well, there are clear rules and regulations as it pertains to fleeing felons, if you will. but the real variations of it is whether or not there's an actual case that mr. brown was a felon, whether mr. brown was actually the target, a subject of these warrants that we've heard about, whether or not mr. brown had prior contact, prior to the 22nd c -- 20 second clip that the attorneys had an opportunity to view and analyze. so many questions and what's potentially dangerous in this case is the response of the north carolina officials from the sheriff's office to the county attorney. there seems to be and the concern is whether or not there is a cover-up of some level going on there in elizabeth city. >> and to that point, areva, the family and the community doesn't k

natasha chen, cnn, elizabeth city, north carolina. >>> months after the deadly riot on the u.s.f federal judges and justice department officials say that former president donald trump could still incite his followers to violence. that's because he's repeating the conspiracy theories that the 2020 presidential election was rigged against him. and that there was widespread voter fraud. the reality is there is no proof of vote rigging and election officials say the vote was free and fair. now, some of the alleged capitol rioters are in jail right now awaiting trial. federal prosecutors argue that trump's promotion of the big lie means that those suspects are a danger to national security. and after sentencing in the u.s. the far right qanon movement has expanded to become a sophisticated and active network in japan. and it has ideologies and influences of its own. as selena wang now reports. >> fight for trump! >> fight for trump! >> reporter: protesters march against president joe biden's inauguration. no, this isn't the u.s. it's japan. waving american flags and carrying signs li
