New SanFran DA: No Charges Against Guard Who Killed Shoplifter
2023-05-03
[HotAir] JUST IN: DA @BrookeJenkinsSF declined to file charges

Yesterday San Francisco DA Brook Jenkins
...spelt Brooke Jenkins in the Rantburg archives, she was tapped by the mayor of San Francisco to replace Soros DA Chesa Boudin when the recall effort she led succeeded, she was elected last November after having reversed his innovations and fired fifteen of his prosecutors. She is one of those pro-police, law and order Progressives, which is a very nice change...
The declined to charge a Walgreens security guard who had shot and killed a shoplifter. The guard’s name is Michael-Earl Wayne Anthony and the shoplifter was 24-year-old Banko Brown, a trans man who was apparently homeless. Here’s the DA’s announcement.

"This was a shoplifting that really based on the facts...escalated into a robbery and the armed security guard did ultimately end up using lethal force by firing one shot from his firearm that ultimately killed Banko Brown."

Anthony was on duty last Thursday when he saw Banko Brown shoplifting, said a source with knowledge of the case who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the details. Anthony questioned Brown, and an altercation ensued. Brown threatened to stab Anthony, who had pulled out his gun but had not yet pointed it, the source said.

Anthony told Brown to leave the store. According to the source, that is when Brown approached Anthony, who fired his gun.
