Protesters Mass at Mall of America on Busy Shopping Day

#BlackLivesMatter Protest Shuts Part of Mall of America
NBC News

Parts of the massive Mall of America were temporarily closed Saturday following a demonstration against racial profiling and police brutality at one of the nation's largest shopping centers. A large crowd gathered in the Bloomington, Minnesota, mall rotunda just before 2 p.m. local time and staged a "die-in," despite warnings from mall officials that the protest was not permitted and could lead to arrests.

..............

Demonstrators at the Mall of America shouted "Hands up, don't shoot!", referring to the fatal police shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, and "Black people cannot breathe, while we're on our shopping sprees," referring to the chokehold death of Eric Garner in New York.

.......................

After several warnings that the protest was not authorized, many in the crowd left the rotunda, according to a reporter from NBC station KARE. Police in helmets were seen blocking off sections of the mall, but it is unclear if any arrests were made.

.....................

Meanwhile, more than 180 people staged an event with a similar message at the King of Prussia Mall in suburban Philadelphia. "There will not be business as usual this Christmas. Not as we watch case after case of police brutality against black people in this country go without justice," said a post on the Facebook event called the "No Justice, No Peace Die In." The mall said in a statement that it does not allow protests on mall property, according to NBC Philadelphia. .........
