Police: Black Friday's Trans Bashing Victim Akasha Adonis Started The 3am Kohl's Fight

Akasha Adonis — the transgender woman who claimed she was punched in the face by another customer at 3am during a Black Friday sale at Kohl's in Jacksonville, Tenn., and then brushed off by cops at the scene because she is trans — has some answering to do, say police, who viewed the surveillance tape and say it was Adonis who threw the first punch.

After Adonis and her mother Lisa Bolin, who was at the store during the incident, accused the cops of failing to pull the security tape, it looks like the request has backfired, reports the Jackson Sun.
