Security staff member Zach Cotter, 28, was caught on camera hitting Karen Ivery, 37, at Target in Blue Ash, Hamilton County, Ohio, in October last year after she grew 'aggressive' with a manager.
CCTV footage from the store shows Mr Cotter intervening after an altercation broke out with a manager when Ms Ivery claimed she wanted the store to pay for her purchases in 'reparations'.
Startling CCTV video footage shows Mr Cotter punching Ms Ivery in the face, causing her to fall to the floor
According to the manager's statement after the incident, a cashier called her over when Ms Ivery asked for her grocery bill of over $1,000 by covered by reparations.
She claimed Ms Ivery said she had a 'privileged life' and that she was 'owed this'.
The manager said that if she wanted a donation, she would need to call in the morning. She claimed this caused her to become verbally aggressive.
CCTV footage from the store shows the woman walking forcefully towards the manager, which led her to put her hands up and back into a nearby counter.
Mr Cotter claims he was acting in self defense, and told officers after the incident that she 'charged' at him. She was later arrested for Menacing and Disorderly Conduct.
'Ivery was very argumentative and confrontational about the whole incident. She was confrontational with officers on scene and didn't want to explain her actions that evening.'
After being asked if she is OK by the officer, Ms Ivery replied: 'Physically I am OK. Emotionally I am very, very angry.'
'This is my Rosa Parks moment,' she added.

Blue Ash is kind of famous for an odd reason.
It’s in Hamilton County, which is the Cincinnati area. When the Reds left Crosley Field to go to Riverfront Stadium and Crosley Field was torn down, a guy in Blue Ash bought it and reconsturcted it on his property. It’s a youth baseball facility now.
Especially Malt liquor and cigarette companies.
This happens all to often when you tell someone they are the victim and they are owed something they didn’t earn.
I don’t think she gets a penny out of this one. In fact, depending on her rap sheet, she might just end up doing some time.
That thing is just a cupid stunt.
She did the same with the manager, however they were backed towards a wall and were able to sneak off.
Yep. They all tired to explain why what she did was illegal and wrong, however, she had no intent on listening.
Yeah, and it looked like he had a smile on his face when he did it.
The patience of the officers is commendable. I couldn’t do it.
One of these days Alice. One of these days it’s POW, right in the kisser!
Pretty sorry person who won’t pony up the money for her own two bags of groceries.
There’s a lot to unpack. The Target girl trying to reason with it was hilarious. Then, the guy retreats as much as possible, and he used as little force as imaginable to secure the situation (great restraint in not kicking “her” a few times). She got an equal right. Grrl power!!! Then, in the aftermaff, she still ain’t done nuffin. Target will prolly still gibbs her some o dat money doe an whatnot! That will insure that this doesn’t keep happening... or something. It will get worse. It’s getting worse.
Ms Ivery, what about the food stamps, section 8, free school food for your kids, LaQuasha and other unpronounceable names you fools give them, free phone...that is your REPARATIONS! If you are to lazy to get an education and a job, it isn't my job to pay for you to breed and get fat.
Only a thousand bucks in reparations? Chump change. She should have moved to San Francisco and pulled her little stunt
at the Target there where the committee appointed by the city council recommended five million in swag.
I work retail security... I deal with, on a regular basis, all sorts of shoplifters, con-artists, punks, and the ever increasing numbers of the Ghettopotumi. The most dangerous and conniving of them all is the latter. There are entire communities of them on sub-Reddit that discuss ways to achieve their theft goals. They get extremely angry and physical when you make them work too hard to achieve their theft... First, it is the load complaining about being profiled (we do profile, but we profile behaviors, not skin tones); next, they get “in your face” (remember that quote?) and tell you they’re going to sue you or violating their civil rights; then they try to physically intimidate so they can exit the building with the stolen goods. When you know what to look for, you can take action to assure either a foiled attempt, or an assured conviction.
load = loud
She’s already been found guilty and served a short jail term. This is going nowhere.

The cop replied "we'll get your ID in a minute."
🤣🤣🤣

She was probably taught this by a white teacher at school.
