FLINT TOWNSHIP (WJRT) (6/26/2020) - Charges were filed Friday in the attack of a Macy's employee at the Genesee Valley Center in Flint Township last week.

Video of the incident circulated social media for nearly two weeks.

Friday afternoon, the Genesee County Prosecutor charged 18-year-old Damire Palmer with assault to do great bodily harm less than murder, a 10-year felony.

Flint Township Police have been looking for Palmer and his brother in connection to the case since it happened June 15th.

Investigators still have not been able to question the brothers.

But Friday afternoon the Genesee County Prosecutor moved forward with charges against one of them.

Why is only Damire Palmer charged?

Leyton explained he received the case just this week on Tuesday, after looking at video on Wednesday and talking to additional witnesses, he said the evidence so far only points to assault and there's only enough evidence to charge one person.

Leyton said the 18-year-old is the attacker in the 18-second clip seen across the country on social media.

Good!

[Ann Archy]

FINALLY!

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Riots soon followed by release coming right up.

[Savage Rider]

There is a conspiracy between the two brothers here. The brother was already posted up to film the altercation when it started. Conspiracy is a crime. Ask the third guy charged in the Ahmaud Arbery case.

Damire Palmer

I'm guessing I don't have to look.

[GnuThere]

Woo hoo!
Yeah, it was a set-up for entertainment.

[toddausauras]

Many of these criminals are going to meet reality head on. We’re in horrible times but we still as of today have laws. Have fun in jail you scum.

[RummyChick]

these idiots that they could use the N word as a defense
so they made it up a pack of lies

[Flavious_Maximus]

We have a name, now all we need is an address.

[funfan]

Good job getting him he is a puncher and liar.

[spacejunkie2001]

Total Pee Ohhh Esss

[djstex]

I saw this horrific video posted all over social media!
So sick how this young sales person
was beaten by this criminal in the store!
All captured on video as some kind of twisted thrill.
People in the store did nothing to help him.
Scared or what! Just glad they know who did this.

[spacejunkie2001]

what we didn’t apparently see is Macy’s internal video that shows the little son of a bitch sneaking up behind the man and sucker punching him. These thugs are full blown pussies and cowards. They’ll never approach someone face to face because they’re scared like babies that they’ll be taken out if it’s fair.

[metmom]

Yea!

And I’d just love to wipe that smirk off his face.

[djstex]

I’m not surprised.
I agree.
Complete Cowards and I work retail all my career.
Talk about an easy target.
Just makes me sick!

[metmom]

And he even brought his own buddy to record the whole thing.

What I don’t understand is why the guy, while he was on the floor, did not deliver a well aimed kick to the groin and incapacitate the guy.

[caww]

[caww]

[djstex]

Yes and that's what I saw as it was recorded!
I personally saw an employee watching.
who knows.
All I know as a salesperson you are vulnerable to verbal attacks about sales,but this is a different level of attack. This salesman had no way of defending himself. This guy hit him hard and kept hitting him even when he was down,from what I saw on the video. Sorry store security is the problem in most retail stores. I know,seen a lot!

[caww]

Macy’s says the attack was unprovoked.
