"#California is a big state, but #securityguards #shooting two #young #Black #trans #folx to death in #retail #stores within four months of each other? That’s something to notice."

#BankoBrown was a young homeless man who was shot and killed by a Walgreens security guard on April 27th of this year in #SanFrancisco. District Attorney Brook Jenkins dropped all charges against the security guard, despite video footage showing that Banko was unarmed and walking away from the store at the time he was murdered. https://missionlocal.org/tag/banko-brown/

Seen in San Francisco. And I agree with the sentiment. Any DA who can see a video of an aggressive security guard murder an unarmed retreating individual (Banko Brown) and claim it as “clear self-defense” should be disqualified. #SanFrancisco #BankoBrown #JusticeForBankoBrown #Mastodon #BlackMastodon
Important and illuminating discussion about the killing of Banko Brown in San Francisco earlier this week feat. Honey Mahogany, Geoffrea Morris and Joe Eskenazi of Mission Local newspaper, at Manny’s. A tense atmosphere at times but an honest look at how S.F. values property over Black lives. #BankoBrown #sanfrancisco #Mastodon #BlackMastodon #BlackFriday #JusticeForBankoBrown

Speaker Pelosi is not sacrosanct. And she, like ALL of us, are not beyond criticism. I called her office. We’ll see if she makes any kind of comment empathising with the family of Banko Brown. #bankobrown #BlackMastodon
“‘We can confirm that our office has agreed to review whether the San Francisco District Attorney’s decision not to file charges was an abuse of discretion,’ a spokesman for Bonta wrote in an email statement Tuesday afternoon.” 👍🏿

NBC Bay Area News tonight reports on California Attorney General Rob Bonta agreeing to review the case of the shooting death of Banko Brown. Here are the first few seconds of the report—which I cut short before they aired portions of the video.

As the city of #SanFrancisco boils in anger over the recent murder of #BankoBrown, which follows months of anti-houseless and anti-poor hysteria - graffiti writers are taking to the streets and defacing a "street art" campaign backed by a tech billionaire which calls for more "law and order" policies.

NEW: Saturday’s The Politicrat Daily #podcast — Mission Local reporter Joe Eskenazi on San Francisco DA Brooke Jenkins; Banko Brown #BlackMastodon #politics #BankoBrown #JusticeForBankoBrown #Mastodon #usa
There's a word to describe what happened to Banko Brown and Jordan Neely: Lynchings, and they have a long history in the U.S., and it's rooted in white supremacy.
If you read the written transcript (https://bit.ly/41NPyys) of the security guard talking to San Francisco police, the guard contradicts himself on self-defense. There IS no self-defense claim. Attorney Ben Crump is calling for charges. The audio is from 8am Pacific this Thursday morning.

You must read Joe Eskanazi's exploration of the layers of bleakness in the shooting of #BankoBrown. What an awful and entirely preventable situation. #SanFrancisco

This morning, Brown’s supporters made their stance clear: Security camera footage released in the DA’s report shows no proof of self-defense.

#Walgreens made $32.5B in '22. Yes the #SanFrancisco store had a shoplifting issue but that does NOT justify a fatal shooting by security guard #MichaelAnthony of an unarmed homeless Black #transgender man #BankoBrown. WTF was a security guard doing w/ a gun anyways? DA #BrookeJenkins declined to press charges on Anthony. The video clearly shows Anthony was the aggressor & Brown wasnt a threat! A bag of candy isnt worth someone's life! Proof that #CapitalismKills!

The term "dystopian" is thrown around a lot describing San Francisco.
But the shooting of Banko Brown — a lethal battle between two Black men over Walgreens snacks — really *was* dystopian.

Walgreens security guard Michael Earl-Wayne Anthony described to homicide detectives a life of housing instability, police run-ins and an unsupportive workplace in the years leading up to April 27, when he shot and killed Banko Brown.

Thanks to @SamTLevin of #TheGuardian for bringing national attention to the murder of #BankoBrown by a #Walgreens security guard.
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/may/15/banko-brown-killed-walgreens-security-guard-video
Dozens of supporters of Walgreens shooting victim Banko Brown rallied yesterday, hours after the DA finally released video of the shooting.
They raged at what they saw on the footage & called for charges against the guard who shot Brown.
I believe the SFPD investigation will unearth more re: security guard to force SF DA Jenkins to do an about-face. The aggressor on the video (which I’ve now seen) is the guard. He throws a fusillade of punches at Banko Brown, who tries to escape. Then he follows and kills Brown, who is walking backwards away from him and is outside the store.

EPILOGUE: Though San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins has not charged Banko Brown’s killer, the security guard (what is his history? Reports say he was convicted of shoplifting)—it doesn’t mean the case is closed. Pressure must continue. No statute of limitations on killing in California. SF Police Department is still investigating. #BankoBrown #JusticeForBankoBrown #SanFrancisco #Mastodon #BlackMastodon
