WATCH: Target Shopper Demands ‘Reparations’ — Security Guard Punches Her In The Face...'This is my Rosa Parks moment,' she claimed.

A Target shopper demanded “reparations” from her local store – in the form of $1,000 worth of groceries – and got punched in the face instead.

The incident took place last October in Blue Ash, Ohio, but video of the incident only began circulating last week. The shopper, a black woman who was reportedly identified as Karen Ivery, first told her cashier that she was entitled to reparations that would cover the cost of her purchases — and then demanded to see the manager. When the manager approached, Ivery continued to demand “reparations,” shouting at the manager aggressively and eventually backing her into the cafe at the front of the store.

Ohio Woman demands her bill at Target is paid via 'Reparations' chases manager, gets punched in the face instead 😭

In the video that was shared on Twitter, police bodycam footage showed the aftermath of the confrontation along with several clips from the store’s surveillance cameras that had caught the skirmish on tape, albeit without sound.

According to a police report reviewed by The New York Post, as soon as the manager approached, Ivery began to shout at her. “Ivery kept berating her about reparations and her privileged life,” the report alleged.

Zach Cotter, a store loss-prevention officer, intervened when Ivery backed the manager into the store’s cafe — and she turned on him, aggressively approaching as he backed into a nearby security office. He tried to close the door once he got into the office, but Ivery pushed her way in and continued to shout at him. Backed into a corner in the office, Cotter punched Ivery in the face, knocking her to the ground.

When police came in, Cotter explained what had happened and then police asked Ivery whether or not she was all right. In a low voice, she said that she was physically fine but emotionally she was “very angry.”

Full video showed Ivery talking to police officers in the security office, explaining that she had only demanded reparations and “help from her community.” She also wanted the manager to comp her purchase and then “have a larger conversation about how money works, and how the provision works, and how it’s been working in our community in a very wrong way.”

She went on to say that when it became clear that Target was not willing to meet her demands, she had decided to “take a stand.”

“This is my Rosa Parks moment, dude,” she said to the police officer. “Don’t play with me.”

Police officers determined, according to the final report, that Ivery had been the aggressor — a position she took offense to during their interview.

She continued to claim that she had just “held the line” while everyone else used money to try to keep her and other good people out — and she tried to bring the police officer over to her side by claiming she believed he didn’t get paid enough either.

And Rosa Parks didn’t demand to be given anything. She merely demanded to be left alone in peace and treated the same way as the white passengers on the bus. This idiot might have had a point of Target was allowing white customers to take items from the store without paying. Unequal treatment based on race is injustice and should be opposed.

By comparing herself to Rosa Parks this idiot demonstrated that she has no clue what the civil rights movement was about, and she completely disrespected some very heroic and righteous people involved in that movement.

Do not owe one penny of reparations to black Americans.

If they want “reparations” they should go to the race grievance pimps who work to keep them miserable and feeling entitled, to the gangs who poison their children with drugs and draw them into shorter lives of crime, to abortionists who have helped murder half of whole generations, or the idiots that riot and loot in black communities, their own communities, and who along with the rest are the mill stones hung beneath their neighbor’s wings.

I watched the whole 20m video yesterday. She deserved it. Heck the white cops watched the video, and arrested HER! In 2023 America. They were incredibly patient, I could not have done it.

Obama should make a statement: “this could be my sister.”

Hahaha

In America, where academics, the media, work place and schools talk about racism, sexism, homophobia, nonstop, you have entire classes of people who have been taught since childhood that they are victims, owed something, and many are hyper sensitive (looking for what they perceive as an infraction).

You have folks that for all practical purposes have special privileges and protections that attempt to guarantee an equality in outcome regardless of actual performance, i.e. quota’s in all government jobs, universities... If you are part of the LGBTQIA community you can get tax paid for meds, even assistance with housing if you test positive for HIV... What other disease gets these sort of special financial incentives? Diabetes? Cancer? Heart disease?

There are special scholarships which are only for these special classes in reality, laws which provide extra protections or more severe punishments than usual (some murders are just murder, others are a hate crime in addition to being a murder)... Today you have most government agencies not only provide a space for meetings, but even pay (using tax money) for LGBTQIA events on government property, during work hours... Meanwhile, the Boy Scouts were banished.

Still you have these people pretend to be underprivileged and some actually getting belligerent about it.

It’s the consequence of over sensitizing folks to these topics and at the same time making them feel entitled, empowered, feeling like they can make demands.

I mean, she's gotta pay for today's lunch somehow, right?

Self-defense in my opinion, if the story as written is true. And if so, the headline is a lie.

The video seems to back that up. It's worth watching.

This is so ridiculous as to come off as parody. What a world we’re living in where any American thinks this is the right was to act.

I don’t recall Rosa Parks demanding free stuff.

Rosa Parks demanded to be treated exactly the same as white folks.

Well, at least it's at a Target. You reap what you sow.

Unfortunately, they will probably fire the security guy for doing his job.
