No charges for San Francisco Walgreens security guard in fatal shooting of alleged shoplifter

The San Francisco District Attorney’s Office has decided against pressing charges against a Walgreens security guard accused of fatally shooting a suspected shoplifter last month.

In announcing the decision on Monday, District Attorney Brooke Jenkins cited insufficient evidence before releasing surveillance footage of the encounter, which unfolded on April 27 at a drugstore in downtown San Francisco.

The clip, which does not have sound, shows 24-year-old Banko Brown purportedly lifting items from a Walgreen’s shelf and then attempting to leave without paying. He’s stopped by security guard, 33-year-old Michael Earl-Wayne Anthony, who then punches him repeatedly. A brief struggle ensues until Anthony manages to pin Brown to the ground.

Can you imagine if a white or even latino, I guess now, did this choke out and then shoot a black trans in absolute cold blood……
