The incident took place last October in Blue Ash, Ohio, but video of the incident only began circulating last week. The shopper, a black woman who was reportedly identified as Karen Ivery, first told her cashier that she was entitled to reparations that would cover the cost of her purchases — and then demanded to see the manager. When the manager approached, Ivery continued to demand “reparations,” shouting at the manager aggressively and eventually backing her into the cafe at the front of the store. …

According to a police report reviewed by The New York Post, as soon as the manager approached, Ivery began to shout at her. “Ivery kept berating her about reparations and her privileged life,” the report alleged.

Zach Cotter, a store loss-prevention officer, intervened when Ivery backed the manager into the store’s cafe — and she turned on him, aggressively approaching as he backed into a nearby security office. He tried to close the door once he got into the office, but Ivery pushed her way in and continued to shout at him. Backed into a corner in the office, Cotter punched Ivery in the face, knocking her to the ground.
