San Francisco's DA has released graphic footage of a Walgreens security guard shooting dead a transgender shoplifter - and said she will not charge him because he was in 'mortal danger'.
Michael Earl-Wayne Anthony, 33, was working at the drugstore in the downtown area on April 27 when he shot unarmed Banko Brown, 24. A murder charge against Anthony was dropped after the DA ruled the killing was self-defense.
Graphic surveillance footage released on Monday shows Brown holding a bag as he walks toward the store exit. Anthony steps in his path, confronts him about allegedly stealing from the store, which leads to a scuffle before Brown is shot.
His death sparked outrage across the Bay Area, but despite the demands to charge Anthony, DA Brooke Jenkins' office announced on Monday that they would not.
The surveillance footage shows Brown in a white T-shirt and gray sweatpants, walking out of the store, when the confrontation and tussle between him and the security guard unfolds.
Anthony is able to pin Brown to the ground, but then lets him go and Brown walks out of the store, still clutching his bag. More words are exchanged and then Brown appears to move slightly forward with his arms out, then backs up just as Anthony shoots him.
Brown collapses on the sidewalk outside the store and a crowd of people gather around him. He was rushed to a nearby hospital where he later died.
Anthony was originally booked on suspicion of murder the day after the shooting, but then released without charge after the District Attorney Brooke Jenkins said Anthony was in 'mortal danger' and 'acted in self-defense.'

Anyone care to guess the races of the shooter/dead-douchebag?
Only because he was of the approved skin color. Imagine if the security guard was a white guy. It be Murder 1 y’all.
“. . . approved skin color.”
So true, so very true.
But the idiot DA still put the murder charge against the security guard in the first place. This is designed to scare everyone else from defending themselves in the future.
The DA is still the enemy as is everyone who voted for the DA.
The guard shot a dead transgender?

Editor’s take note.
Shooting a cadaver is not murder, it’s already dead...
Zombie Tranny
You saw that too, eh?
After watching the video I saw no good justification for shooting the shoplifter.
State may go after him.
seems a waste of a bullet if he was already dead, but his heart was in the right place.
“After watching the video I saw no good justification for shooting the shoplifter.”
I’s one less democrat criminal.
Article is from th UK. It’s the way they speak.
Banko? So a creature has a loppitoff, and calls itself “Banko”. Banko is such a perfect name for a thief. Probably its full name is now, “Robba de Banko”
He shot a dead shoplifter? Seems odd.
Agreed. He was just irritated at that point. If the guard was white, he'd be in deep doo-doo right now.
Agreed. Security guard couldn’t best the shoplifter in a wrestling match so shot after the situation was near resolution.
It crushes my soul that so many Freepers these days revel in the death of anybody not like themselves. :o(
At the link, the chick that spends her minute screaming at the board is outta sight, that is some real commitment to crazy.
The wages of sin are death. Do you work for free?
