Extreme anger in San Francisco over lack of charges in Walgreens shooting

San Francisco residents ripped into city leaders Tuesday after District Attorney Brooke Jenkins announced that her office would not be filing charges against the private security guard who allegedly shot and killed 24-year-old Banko Brown in front of a Walgreens store last week.

Nowhere was the anger more visible than at City Hall. More than two dozen community members rose to speak during a Board of Supervisors meeting, where they called on elected officials to do something in response to Brown's killing. Many were visibly emotional and didn't mince words when speaking to the board.

“The death of Banko Brown ... was nothing short of a lynching,” one speaker said. “And anyone that stands beside that is standing beside lynching. There is no gray area there. San Francisco’s current approach to public safety is not safe at all, nor is it public. It is organized coercion, organized violence against our communities. We keep our communities safe, and we demand that you get your boots off our necks.” exp-player-logo Read More

Brown, a transgender Black man, was shot and killed outside the Walgreens on Market and Fourth streets near Union Square on April 27 following an alleged shoplifting incident. The alleged shooter — 33-year-old Michael Earl-Wayne Anthony — was initially booked into jail by police but was released Monday after Jenkins announced that her office would not be pressing charges. A statement from Jenkins said evidence showed that Anthony, a security guard under contract at Walgreens, felt he was in “mortal danger” and was acting in self-defense when he shot Brown.

“more than two dozen community members” were upset...out of 750,000 city residents.

Let’s keep some sense of proportion here.

Remember, Brooke Jenkins was the D.A. who replace the new wave D.A. Chesa Boudin. So, Jenkins is at the “conservative” end of the San Francisco political spectrum, and backed by Mayor London Breed, who is at the “conservative” end of the SF spectrum.

The last paragraph of the article is something else. I had to read it several times.

My gut feeling is that Banko Brown was just one of those people who needed killing. Case closed.

Yep, it's a window into how the AA crowd views theft - they're fine with it.

“I know plenty of my white girlfriends who actually shoplift, and they don’t get f—king killed,” one resident said. “… Frankly, I don’t care if this extrajudicial killing leads to riots, looting and graffiti. A life was lost, and lives are more important than property. Brooke Jenkins should f—king resign.”

Subterranean intelligence level on display.

When parents turn soft and no consequences to an erring child, spoiled and no control.

Same with managing a country. No consequences for lawlessness and you loae control of the country.

It’s a pity the Total Perspective Vortex isn’t real. Jimmy Hibberd needs to be tossed into it.

It will soon come out that the tranny freak was about to shiv the security guard. Then the other tranny freaks will all scream “don’t matter, he should have let himself be killed. Don’t you know we’re trannies and that the laws don’t apply to us?”

BTW, it was just announced today that Nordstrom is closing its two downtown SF locations. The city is becoming a ghost.
