The horrific incident took place in October at a megastore in Blue Ash, Ohio. Karen Ivery asked the cashier to call the manager about the bill and the payment of reparations for slavery, according to a police report. The cashier told authorities that Ivery raised the issue of reparations several times during their brief conversation prior to the manager's arrival.

According to the report, when talking to the manager, the client first demanded to pay her reparations and then got angry. Then she "aggressively" approached the manager.

“Ivery continued to demand reparations and began to accuse the manager of leading a privileged life,” the report says.

That's when Zach Kotter, a loss prevention officer, stepped in and asked Ivery to calm down and leave the store, according to the report. But she allegedly started yelling at Kotter and followed him into his office.

According to the report, when he tried to close the door, Avery burst in and Kotter stabbed. The video footage of the incident shows that the impact of the employee caused the woman to fall to the floor.

After reviewing footage of the incident, authorities identified Ivery as the "aggressor" and placed her under arrest.

“Ivery clashed with officers at the scene and did not want to explain her actions,” the report says.

In recent years, reparations have been the subject of heated debate involving a government agency or other institution providing money or funding to people of color who are either descended from slaves or otherwise marginalized.

In a YouTube camera video of the alleged incident, Avery told the officer that she wanted the cashier to contact the manager "so we can talk in more detail about how money works, how collateral works, and how it works in our community in a very wrong way."

“This is my Rosa Parks moment,” she added. Rosa Louise Parks is an American social activist, political activist and one of the founders of the movement for the rights of black citizens in the United States.

Ivery was sentenced to one day in jail, charged with disorderly conduct and will have to pay a $110 fine.
