What in the Black Jezus...?

I understand if you can't watch the whole video. I had problems doing so. However... I just sat like I was watching a train wreck.
In the video (which is from October 2022, btw), below the cut:
A black woman goes to Target to purchase stuff. When the register hits $1000, she tells the cashier she needs to see the manager. When the cashier asks why, the black woman explains, she doesn't have money for the rest, and needs to talk to the manager about Target "giving her reparations." She gets up close and personal and so into the cashier's space that the cashier has to physically put her hands up (and in the process has to touch the woman's shoulders). The manager comes out and basically says, "Nope, can't do that for you today, sorry." He tries to retreat, and backs away and away and away until he's trapped in his office, with the black woman approaching him angrily. She is not a small woman. He punches her flat out, then calls 911.
The cops show up and listen to this woman go on and on (and on and on) about how Target's a good company, so she knows it's a safe space to talk about how "her money is broken and doesn't work right." I can't make this stuff up, guys. The cops finally explain to her that she's now trespassed and has to leave, at which point she gets really upset. She says, and I quote here, "This is my Rosa Parks moment, dude. Don’t play with me."
In the end, turns out the woman was convicted of disorderly conduct, but acquitted of menacing.
I realize this one's a couple of years old, but damn. What the hell is going on with our world?
