ATTORNEYS🆘

I’ve been contacted about a case in WA State that requires IMMEDIATE support!

Young brown homeless man (still alive) violently pinned down by 3️⃣ white WinCo staff for allegedly shoplifting $30.00 worth of items.

Repeatedly cried out “I can’t breath”.

CONT’D👇🏽
This occurred right outside the exit door. The victim pleaded to be let go, but staff remained fully-weighted on his back & legs as the victim wept & struggled to breathe. He was then hoisted & violently dragged back into the store, into a private office.

Police arrived.👇🏽
But did not charge him, arrest him, nor even take him to the station.

The victim was let go, but is injured.

Virtually ALL OF THIS WAS VIDEO RECORDED BY A HEROIC WOMAN.

I have been permitted to share the video ONLY with attorneys, at this time, due to the victim’s safety.
The victim is seeking compensation for injuries & trauma sustain, as well as policy changes within Winco

PLEASE RT. The victim is in dire need.
