One of two security guards confronting a street vendor outside a Home Depot in San Jose was captured on video knocking over the vendor’s crates of strawberries.
"These two security guards not only kicking the fruit down to the floor was unacceptable, but just the taunting, the false accusations could have gotten, not only the street vendor hurt, but the day laborers," street vendor advocate Edin Enamorado said.
Enamorado posts videos on TikTok and Instagram of street vendors when he feels they're being harassed. Most of those videos go viral.In a statement, Home Depot said,"We contacted out third party security company, and the people in the video no longer work with us." San Jose police said they did respond to the scene after the guard called, but they ended up taking a report on behalf of the vendor. Officers expect that report to reach the district attorney's office for possible prosecution.Street vendor Leticia Magana, who has the proper vendor permits, said she's often told to leave the sidewalk and to go back to her country.
