A Superior Court judge on Thursday approved a request by the Raleigh Police Department to release footage from officers' body-worn cameras showing an incident during a downtown protest last week that led to a woman's arrest.



<b>RALEIGH, N.C.</b> — A Superior Court judge on Thursday approved a request by the Raleigh Police Department to release footage from officers' body-worn cameras showing an incident during a downtown protest last week that led to a woman's arrest.

Judge Graham Shirley ordered that the face of a juvenile who was taken into custody during the protest be blurred in the police video, so it's unclear when the department will release the video publicly.

The juvenile was one of <a href="https://www.wral.com/story/raleigh-police-drop-charge-against-protester-to-investigate-officers-actions/19152361/">two people detained during the NC BORN protest</a> on June 18.

No charges were filed against the juvenile, and a charge of resisting, delaying or obstructing a law enforcement officer was dismissed against a woman who was arrested after <a href="https://www.wral.com/video/two-arrested-after-n-c-born-protest-in-downtown-raleigh/19151333/">eyewitness video sparked outrage on social media</a>.

WRAL's Mark Boyle and Julian Grace have more on a protest in downtown Raleigh that resulted in at least two people arrested. Video from Raleigh city council member Saige Martin from the protest was making its round on social media Thursday night.

I PRAY THE LORD BE WITH HIS FAMILY. >> Reporter: THE NTSB WILL DETERMINE  THE CAUSE OF THE CRASH. ROSALIA FODERA, WRAL NEWS, WAYNE COUNTY. >>>  I MARK BOYLE IN THE LIVE CENTER. RIGHT NOW, SOME NEW VIDEO THAT WAS JUST PUT OUT BY SAGE MARTIN, CITY COUNCILMEMBER ON FACEBOOK, DRAWING ATTENTION RESPONSE FROM RPD. TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR SCREEN. TOTAL OF TWO PEOPLE WERE DETAINED. YOU SEE ONE OF THEM RIGHT THERE BEING PULLED BACK BY A RALEIGH POLICE OFFICER. WHAT THIS VIDEO DOES NOT SHOW THOUGH IS WHAT LED UP TO THAT ARREST. ACCORDING TO RPD AND ON TWITTER THIS EVENING, THEY ARE TELLING US THAT SOME OF THOSE FOLKS RIGHT THERE WERE REFUSING TO GET OUT OF THE STREET WHEN RPD WAS TRYING TO GET THEM TO MOVE. THEY WERE BLOCKING TRAFFIC THERE IN DOWNTOWN ON HILLSBOROUGH AT McDOWELL. NOW, THE STORY CONTINUES TO DEVELOP. AGAIN, BOTH SIDES HERE ARE COMING FORWARD. MORE INFORMATION OF THE CITY COUNCILMEMBER SAGE MARTIN SAYS TOMORROW, HE'S GOING TO LAY OUT MORE INFORMATION WHY HE THINKS POLICE NEED TO BE DEFUNDED. OUR JULIAN GRACE LIVE IN DOWNTOWN RIGHT NOW AT THE JAIL, WHERE SOME OF THOSE WERE TAKEN, JULIAN? >> Reporter: MARK, WE ARE HERE LIVE AT THE WAKE COUNTY DETENTION CENTER. IT IS VERY QUIET RIGHT NOW. THAT WAS NOT THE CASE JUST AN HOUR AGO. DEPUTIES WERE RIGHT -- IN CENTER -- IN FRONT OF THE CENTER HERE, THAT IS, AND PROTESTERS WERE SITTING ON THE SIDEWALK. PROTESTERS  WERE WITH CAPITAL AND SEABORNE, AND THEY WERE NOT SAYING A LOT. THEY WERE WAITING FOR TWO OF THEIR OWN TO BE RELEASED. TAKE A LOOK AT THIS VIDEO. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED. WE WATCHED AS DEPUTIES RELEASED ONE OF THE PROTESTERS AND A GROUP WELCOMED HER BACK. YOU CAN SEE THE GROUP CLAPPING AS THEY CIRCLED AROUND HER AND GAVE HER HUGS. THEN ABOUT 10 MINUTES LATER, THE CROWD LEFT THE SCENE HERE, BUT BEFORE THEY LEFT, I ASKED TO INTERVIEW A COUPLE OF THE PROTESTERS THAT WERE IN THE CROWD. THEY ALL SAID NO COMMENT AT THIS TIME. NOW RALEIGH POLICE, THEY DID PUT OUT A TWEET EARLIER TODAY CONFIRMING THAT TWO PEOPLE HAD BEEN ARRESTED. NOW NC BORN, THEY WERE VERY CLEAR WHY THEY WERE OUT HERE, THAT THEY WERE NOT GOING TO LEAVE THE AREA UNTIL, UNTIL TWO OF THEIR MEMBERS HAD BEEN RELEASED. WE WATCHED ONE OF THEIR MEMBERS RELEASED TONIGHT, AND EARLIER TONIGHT, RALEIGH POLICE SAID THE OTHER WAS RELEASED AS WELL. SO THIS IS WHAT WE KNOW RIGHT NOW, DEBRA. THIS SEEMS LIKE A VERY FLUID

Police Chief Cassandra Deck-Brown said the video taken during the arrest doesn't show what led up to it. Still, she said she is <a href="https://www.wral.com/story/raleigh-police-drop-charge-against-protester-to-investigate-officers-actions/19152361/">concerned by the actions of some of the officers in the video, so she launched an internal investigation</a>.

According to Deck-Brown, police have tried to assist with peaceful protests by blocking traffic so people could march through intersections unscathed, but she said protesters on that night started running into traffic and creating hazards.

The chief hasn't disclosed how many officers are being investigated and if they’re still on the job.

An outside consultant has already been hired to look into officers' response to protests in late May and make recommendations by the end of September.
