SAN FRANCISCO -- Demonstrators gathered Sunday outside of the Walgreens on Market Street in San Francisco where Banko Brown, an unhoused Black transgender man, was killed over $15 worth of candy that police said he stole from the store on April 27."We want them to release the tapes and we want justice for Banko Brown," said one speaker.
"We proved to this Black trans young man -- and I say 'we' because I think it's all of us collectively as a community in San Francisco -- is we proved to him that he was not safe. He was not safe to go inside of that store," said Julia Arroyo, co-executive director of the Young Women's Freedom Center.
The decision not to charge the guard has upset Brown's friends, supporters and activists and has stirred debate over public safety.
