A driver was arrested after police say she struck 2 women peacefully protesting the police shooting of Andrew Brown Jr.

The incident occurred during the near-daily protests in Elizabeth City over the shooting of Andrew Brown Jr., protest leader Kirk Rivers told CNN. The case — including a prosecutor’s decision not to charge the deputies involved — has raised already intense national debate over how police treat people of color.
