Wait. Why has everyone withheld the settled law and unquestioned fact, that the unarmed black gentleman had his hands up during the entire encounter, even when he fell to the ground holding the cat, or was it the cat food? Shameful reporting. No wonder there is so much violence in grocery stores against innocent peaceful black men. Body cameras are needed for store security guards. Where was Al Sharpton during this unprovoked racist beatdown? Why are the White House, CAIR, Iranian Mullah Fatwa Council, and the Southern Poverty Law Center silent?
[From article]
The violent encounter happened last Thursday. CBS news in San Francisco started the tsunami of coverage by calling for the arrest of the security guard who administered the beating on a black man who was doing nothing more than just trying to buy a few groceries.
Soon hundreds of news sites around the world picked up the story:
“Black Customer Bloodied After Attempting to "Buy Groceries with his EBT Card” said San Francisco Weekly.
“Private Security at Whole Foods Brutally Assaults Black Male ,” said the Atlanta Star.
“Whole Foods Fires Oakland Security Guard Who Beat Black Customer Unconscious,” said the International Business Times.

Over at Yahoo News, one reader claimed she saw the whole thing

After the clerk scanned all the items the customer tried to pay with an EBT card. The clerk told him he has to pay for the household goods in his basket with cash, because they are EBT ineligible items. The customer had beer, soap, and cat food along with his food items.
The black man got very irritated and asked for a manager. A manager came to the register and told the man that it is illegal to use an EBT card for the purchase of the non-food items in his cart. The black man started swearing and throwing all the cat food on the floor, breaking one of the containers and spilling it on the floor. The security was called to escort him out of the store. The black man spit in the security guards face, and that is when the altercation took place.

Over at San Francisco Weekly, another reader
[. . .]
The issue is he was trying to use it to buy other things that are not allowed with an EBT card...non human food items and alcohol.
He argued with the Cashier (a black woman) and slapped and spitted in her face when his EBT card was declined. He then punched another employee in the face. He then spit in the face of the manager (also a black man), then broke open cat food and dumped it on the floor. Then the guard (also a black man) was called. A customer was asked to leave. He kept spitting in the guards face and that's when he was physically removed. The "witness" in the video is a social justice warrior that has one of those dubious doctorates in "African studies" degrees and ties to look for racism where none is present. Everyone involved in this situation is black. A customer, the cashier, the manager and the security guard - are all black.
