Mall of America Sues Black Lives Matter Activists to Stop Protest

HeadlineDec 22, 2015

Meanwhile, the Mall of America has sued eight activists with Black Lives Matter Minneapolis in an attempt to block a protest scheduled for tomorrow over the fatal police shooting of Jamar Clark. Part of the suit requests the activists delete social media posts promoting the protest. Last year a Black Lives Matter protest at the mall drew over 2,000 people. Police have said Jamar Clark was shot after a scuffle with officers who responded to a report of an assault. But multiple witnesses have said Clark was shot while handcuffed.
