Banko Brown's brother, Terry Brown, says he disagrees with the San Francisco District Attorney's assessment that the Walgreen's security guard acted in self-defense.
Community members said they are feeling pain and want their voices heard.Friends and family of Banko Brown, along with community activists and attorneys, expressed outrage Tuesday evening over surveillance video released by the San Francisco District Attorney that shows Brown being shot and killed by a Walgreens security guard.

Pikes-Prince joined a panel at a town hall hosted by the Harvey Milk LGBTQ Democratic Club in the Mission District. "It's pretty shocking to be honest," said Peter Calloway, an attorney in the San Francisco Public Defender's office, who says he was participating in the panel but did not speak for the office."Did he have to shoot Banko Brown? And if they answer no than it's not legal self-defense," said Calloway. "The force used has to be reasonable and necessary to prevent the imminent risk of death or great bodily injury.
