Demonstrators chanting, "Black lives matter," converged in the Mall of America rotunda Saturday as part of a protest of police brutality that caused at least part of the mall to shut down on a busy day for holiday shoppers.

The group Black Lives Matter Minneapolis had more than 3,000 people confirm on Facebook that they would attend. Official attendance figures weren't immediately available, but organizer Mica Grimm says she believes about 3,000 took part.

Bloomington police said 25 people were arrested.

The Mall of America increased security, and police in riot gear were present. Stores were closed for a short time, and signs were posted at some entrances advising shoppers that the east side of the mall was on lockdown.

A TV screen at the rotunda had a message warning protesters to disperse, and the message was also played over the loudspeaker every 5 minutes. It read, “This demonstration is not authorized and is in clear violation of Mall of America policy. All participants must disperse at this time. Those who continue to demonstrate will be subject to arrest.”

Time to arrest the organizers of these terrorists. Maybe 5 years in jail might make a change.

“Ten Grand” why so much? From their looks $100 would be enough to keep most of them in jail for a week.

Because I think I heard somewhere that a bail bondsman would require 10% down.

That means they would each have to come up with $1,000 in order to post ten grand.

Sounds about right to me.

I also wonder if the Mall can sue them in civil court for its expenses.

Plenty of headscarves in attendance - along with the empty heads they surrounded.

After the final warning it should have been pepper mace foggers, fire hoses, and unleashed canines.

This $hit requires a serious smackdown.

from the results of the midterms, and talking to people in deep blue Massachusetts, these actions are succeeding in creating gop voters.

At the center of these protests is the intention to shut “capitalism” down. Now just who would these anti-capitalists be?

It is long past the time when facts should be made public to expose the lies and misrepresentations of the Obama-Holder demagogues and the race-grievance industry.The Obama-Holder demagogues, the race-grievance industry, and most employees of the MSM have made this a racial issue. So let's see..

So adding up the blacks killed by whites (Col 1) and whites killed by blacks(col 2). Surprise.

Good to see some white trash join in the protests. That’s all they are is white trash.

Michael Brown deserves what he got.

The important thing to remember is that the messiah is able to enjoy his vacation in Hawaii from all the trouble he and the democrat party have caused.

Lots of questions need to be answered;
For US House members or conservative media :
These protests...
Well organized.Where did the money come from ? Which bus lines were chartered ? Through which fed agency indirectly funded this? Mostly white college types from what college ? From which prof classes? Some muzzies. From what congregation?
