Tempers flared during an emotional memorial service for Banko Brown, the 24-year-old man who was fatally shot by a security guard at a San Francisco Walgreens.
Inside the sanctuary of Third Baptist Church of San Francisco just as the service was beginning, a shouting match erupted between some people who wanted Banko's birth mother to be addressed as mom and others who wanted Banko's stepmother to be called that. It nearly turned into a scuffle.
"Please, we are here for Banko Brown. Please calm down. Please be mindful. Please show some respect," someone could be heard saying. After several minutes, Rev. Amos Brown and his congregation managed to calm the crowd. Rev. Brown continued the service with a monologue about the"Lord of the Flies" and discrimination against Black people.Sign up for NBC Bay Area’s Housing Deconstructed newsletter.
