An attorney for the family of Banko Brown — the transgender Black man who was shot and killed by a private security guard outside a Walgreens store in downtown San Francisco last month — announced Friday that he was filing a wrongful death lawsuit against Walgreens, the security guard and the guard's employer, Kingdom Group Protective Services. The lawsuit comes days after California's attorney general announced he would review San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins' decision to not charge the guard.
The attorney, John Burris, said at a Friday news conference that Brown's death particularly appalled him because he believes the guard made a clear choice to shoot Brown when he was not in danger.
“This is one of the few cases that is most, most, most disturbing. I’ve been involved in a lot of death cases, and this death case seems so woefully unnecessary because there was a choice that was made,” he said. “This wasn’t a heat-of-the-moment thing.”
Burris filed the lawsuit in San Francisco Superior Court on behalf of Brown's parents, Kevinisha Henderson and Terry Brown. Burris said the security guard, Michael Earl-Wayne Anthony, was culpable for shooting Brown; that Walgreens was culpable for hiring a private security guard and encouraging staff to be more aggressive with shoplifters; and that Kingdom Group Protective Services was culpable for hiring a man who was “emotionally distressed.”
Burris is seeking at least $25 million in damages to go to Brown's family. The announcement came just a day after Brown's funeral was held at the Third Baptist Church of San Francisco.

Ghetto lottery:

RE: seeking at least $25 million in damages
What a transparent abomination.
Do the American people actually believe in this absurd grab for cash or are they simply ignoring it and shaking their heads? Someday they be victims of a scheme themselves.
It would seem that not nearly enough of the family also died
Burris is as bad a snake as Crump
Same for Crump
Raise a violent thieving thug, turn him loose on the streets to terrorize good people, thug gets his due, “my baby dindu nuffins,” and file the ghetto lottery.
