Controversy Surrounds Walgreens Shooting and DA's Actions.

TL;DR Summary
San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins dismissed all charges against Michael Earl-Wayne Anthony, the Walgreens security guard who shot and killed Banko Brown last month, citing self-defense. However, she later insisted that the investigation into the killing of Brown is ongoing. This has undermined any future prosecution of Anthony, as his defense attorney can use Jenkins' statements as evidence of self-defense. Jenkins' definitive statements and her attempts to walk them back were "a rookie mistake on several levels," according to a former prosecutor. The DA's office has refused to release the video of the shooting, citing government codes.
