Good afternoon!
Yesterday was all Banko Brown, all day, with the release of the long-awaited video and a growing protest movement.
Video of Banko Brown’s shooting was released by the District Attorneyโs Office yesterday after two clamorous weeks of widespread demand that the DA make the footage public. The video confirmed earlier reports that Brown was retreating from the store when he was shot by Walgreens security guard Michael Earl-Wayne Anthony.
To help readers take in the confrontation, we prepared an annotated version that slows down the action at different points of the encounter.
Meanwhile, DA Brooke Jenkins released a 25-page report officially confirming her case not to prosecute Walgreens security guard Michael Earl-Wayne Anthony because, she said, she could not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Anthony did not act in self-defense. Dozens of protesters marched to San Francisco City Hall to express their rage over the video and the decision.
