Anonymous videos target David Hooks shooting

Before a crowd of hundreds gathered at Monday's rally supporting justice for David Hooks, an anonymous poster put up two videos on YouTube.

One of those videos was posted overnight and another Monday morning, but both disappeared around 3 p.m.

With no names or faces, the poster claimed to be connected to the group Anonymous, a global group of activists and hackers.

"Greetings to the citizens of Georgia and those planning on attending the David Hooks rally today. We are Anonymous," a masked figure with a computer-generated voice says in the video.

The figure in a Guy Fawkes mask threatens to shut down the Laurens County Sheriff's Department website
if officers threaten or harass protesters at the rally.

It also goes on to name the drug task force agent who applied for the search warrant that led to a drug raid at Hooks' home last month.

"Christopher Brewer was the one who was sending threats to the protesters as well as the man that signed the bogus warrants that led to David Hooks' death. Like we said in our previous video, we will be watching Laurens County Sheriff's Department very closely. We are Anonymous, we are Legion. We do not forgive, we do not forget. Expect us," the video says.

The videos, which have been taken down, linked to a separate site, which listed Brewer's home address, family members, and other personal information like which TV shows he enjoys.

The videos are very similar to ones that surfaced during the protests in Ferguson, Missouri after police there shot and killed an unarmed black teenager in August.

And though protesters are demanding answers from Laurens County Sheriff Bill Harrell, he has continued to decline comment on the case, except to say the Georgia Bureau of Investigation is investigating.

Major Keith Golden with the Sheriff's Department confirms they did see the videos but had no comment about them.

When 13WMAZ reached out to the GBI Wednesday, spokeswoman Sherry Lang said investigators have nothing new to share. We have yet to hear back on what, if anything, the GBI plans to do about those videos.
