will remain on administrative leave pending completion of the internal investigation and/or the criminal investigation being conducted by the state bureauree deputies who fired shots, according to the sheriff and remain on leave, are investigative daniel meeds, robert morgan and corporal aaron luellen. meads has been with the sheriff's department 5.5 years. morgan 5 years and luellen just over 2. city officials relaxed the curfew moving it from 8:00 p.m. to mid night. despite public outcry, the body camera footage of brown's death is not going to be released to the public any time soon. a judge denied a petition filed by media outlets to have the video released arguing it could impact a trial if released right now but judge said brown's family could view it. so far the famsy said they have only been able to see 20 seconds of body camera video with the judge's order brown's immediate family and their lawyer are supposed to privately view the body camera footage from four deputies within ten days of the judge's ruling that took place on wednesday. brown's family says his death was an execution, that he was driving away because he was tryi

the local sheriff invited in the state bureau of investigation to do -- perform the investigation, whichndent investigations. we don't want the sheriff's office investigating itself. he, also, invited in an outside-sheriff's office, to ensure that their local policies were complied with. and internal-affairs investigation. i don't have the authority to sue, on this matter. in north carolina, the authority to prosecute these cases are left with the local-district attorney, not the state. so, the case has not been referred to my office. the law, as it's written by the general assembly, can be revisited by them. and there are bills, in the legislature, that had been filed to do just that. >> mr. ag, i appreciate you clarifying where the case is. and saying what i hope should be obvious to everybody, including your governor. he said he wanted it out. why doesn't he demand it's out? why doesn't he say it every day? that's not a question for you. it's a question for him. mr. ag, thank you for being with us. we'll be right back. ve an idea . why don't you call td ameritrade for a strategy gut c

>> not only has the sheriff said he wants to release the video, but the state bureau of investigations has also called for complete transparency. the problem is the district attorney. the district attorney for whatever reason, and i think his reasons are primarily political. he's running for judge at the same time that he's probably handling the largest most public interested case in his career. i think that's an inherent conflict. a person running for office who can use this case as a means of a political advantage should not be the person calling the shots. the governor has called for special prosecutor, we think there should be a special proper, even though the law here in north carolina does not allow for the governor to appoint a special prosecutor. but somehow some way this district attorney needs to step aside and allow a special prosecutor who is independent to come in and investigate this matter. >> very quickly, the sheriff has reinstated four deputies who were at the scene. they did not fire their weapons, though. do you agree with that decision? >> well, we don't know what

the shooting was being investigated by the north carolina state bureau of investigation. now we do not, harris, expect to see video. remember under north carolina law that video is subject to a court order and a judge ruled that it would not be released until the f.b.i. had completed an investigation. maybe we'll learn more about that. you put your finger at the center of what's happening today and why there is so much media here. when the judge was deciding whether or not to release the body cam video the brown family first saw about 20 seconds of it and then last week last tuesday saw about 20 minutes of it. the district attorney during that hearing said that the car that brown was driving made contact with deputies. the family has a very different characterization of what they saw. they say it wasn't the case and why it's an execution-style video of what happened to brown. the reason why that matters is here in north carolina, officers can use deadly force if they perceive a threat of deadly force to them. we'll see whether or not the district attorney addresses that o

they release all the videos and the family would demand they release the north carolina state bureau of investigationseport, because transparency is the primary objective here. if you are confident that this was justified, then why do you continue to refuse to release the video? the fact that you violated your own policies of shooting into a moving car is enough for those officers to have been charged with negligent homicide. but when you tell us it's justified, and we see on the video that none of these officers were in harm's way, and we see this man shot to the back of his head, it tells us simply that this was a whitewash and that the local district attorney, who is housed in the same building with the local sheriff's department seems to have made their mind up from the beginning that they were not going charge these officers for killing this unarmed black man in elizabeth city, north carolina. >> the district attorney said he did not give the brown family a heads up before the announcement today because of what he called dysfunction in the relationship between the family and the prosecutor's offi

was conducting a very thorough and independent review, going over the report that the state bureau of investigation compiled as well as interviewing deputies, even talking to other d.a.s and other counties in north carolina who confronted similar situations. he said this was the action of a violent felon maneuvering a car as a weapon toward deputies who felt threatened and felt they needed to neutralize that threat. he did face some tough questions from the press, many who saw that video in a different light, asking why deputies simply couldn't have waited and caught up to mr. brown at a later time. his response to that was, would it be any less tense or violent then? their duty to serve and protect, execute the warrants they were there to serve. they were asking him as well about talking to the brown family, if he had had a chance to break them the news before breaking it to us. here's what he had to say on that -- >> our original discussions immediately after this occurred with mr. brown's attorneys did not go well. we tried -- or there was a second meeting with the family in which the attorneys

wouldn't revisit the possibility of publicly releasing this for 30 to 45 days while the state bureau of investigation inside. they are reviewing the tape now. there is no time limit as to how long they can be in there. so they probably will watch it several times before they come out and tell us what their impressions are after seeing more of the video. they have seen 20 seconds of this video, but seeing the before and after moments may change the context, may give them more inside as to exactly what happened that day. eamon? >> let's talk about this releasing this to the public. there's been enormous pressure. the judge has vetoed that essentially. how important is it to do that? what is there no not be gained by releasing this to assure the public of what happened? >> it's of ultimate importance. this is insult to injury. it's the subjective discretion about this whole issue of both evidence in the investigation rather than having a formal and objective policy about it. we're all dancing on the tip of a needle here between the discretion exercised by local prosecutors, by the local law enforcement
