Community calls for nationwide boycott of Stop & Shop after workers kill alleged Brooklyn shoplifter
Residents of Flatbush and the family of a man who was killed by three Stop & Shop employees who reportedly caught him shoplifting rallied outside the Flatbush Avenue grocer on Thursday to call for a nationwide boycott of the chain — and to demand that the Brooklyn District Attorney charge the man’s killers.
“Don’t shop at Stop & Shop!” protesters yelled, protesting the death of Ralph Nimmons last Saturday inside the store.
Family members shared their grief, hoping to use it for change.
