Activists with the group Black Lives Matter called Wednesday's protest that started at the Mall of America and ended at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport a success.
In the moments leading up to the planned demonstration, which the group Black Lives Matter Minneapolis announced a week in advance, the nation's largest shopping mall closed the area surrounding its main rotunda.
Businesses like Build-A-Bear turned away customers and shut their doors as officers wearing masks herded protesters and shoppers out of the eastern section of the mall.
"I never feel safe when there's a mass of officers in military gear," said Black Lives Matter supporter Chauntyll Allen. "Doesn't feel like they are protecting or serving us at all."
Some protesters were arrested and led off by police. Hundreds, however, walked to the nearby light rail station, with many boarding trains to Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, where they disrupted traffic on the day before Christmas Eve.
Other protesters stayed behind at the mega mall, to chant and protest outside. Some mall workers got caught up with the protesters, and weren't allowed to re-enter the mall.
Wearing masks and armed with batons, police guarded the eastern mall entrance and forced do the protesters back to bus and train stations.
Protesters called their demonstration peaceful and purposeful.
Allen says the group needs to keep demonstrating at "economic pressure points."
"They only hear us with money," she added.
Protesters dispersed from the mall after being outside for about an hour.
Heard this on the radio on the way home from work tonight. Between laughing and snow and rain, I almost found the right ditch.
[Jamar] Clark had previous encounters with law enforcement and pleaded guilty to two felony counts.[6]
The first was for first-degree aggravated robbery in 2010, and he was sent to prison for 41 months.
The second was for threatening to burn down the house of an ex-girlfriend in April 2015, following a bitter breakup.
He was on probation for this crime at the time of the shooting... A Domestic Abuse No Contact Order was issued for Clark, requiring him to stay away from the ex-girlfriend until 2020.[7]
Clark was also awaiting trial for a July arrest for fleeing police in a high-speed chase.

They need to do this in Chicago ...at 12:00am...on a Saturday night.
The goal is to become disruptive enough that eventually all they have to do is warn a business that they will be targeted next unless they meet certain demands.
It doesn’t matter.
(See what I did there?)
He was killed by a white cop.
Justification for burning the country down.
Screw the facts.
The whole idea is Marxist. To kill Capitalism.
Just another version of the Jackson-Sharpton shakedown.
BLM guys just arent as smart as those Negros.
One of my son’s friends is back from college (Dartmouth) during break. He said the kids at Dartmouth were somewhat sympathetic to the BLM cause...until they started harassing the kids on the campus. Now they are universally hated at school
These types of tactics aren’t winning any friends
White Liberals own BLM ,they’re the only ones keeping this bull going
Very soon these people are going to turn Dartmouth (& other campuses) into an inner city high school. White kids — at least, the conservative — are going to leave.
Every time I see BLM, I think Bureau of Land Management. And the headlines seem confusing.
Try it...it’s kind of fun.
“I never feel safe when there’s a mass of officers in military gear,” said Black Lives Matter supporter Chauntyll Allen. “Doesn’t feel like they are protecting or serving us at all.”
When you’re presenting yourself as an enemy force, that’s the point: they’re not protecting & serving you, they’re protecting & serving your likely victims.
Is that why it's called blackmail?
Or is it blackmale?

In that case we need to touch economic pressure points, too. For every black on white murder we need huge groups to protest and obstruct entrance into welfare offices. #WLMT
And as we all know...
That would go badly for us.
We don’t get to do that.
They aren’t trying to win friends; they want MONEY. In response, whites just give blacks more and more access to abortion - but it isn’t working quickly enough. So instead we deal with the unloved welfare spawn...
“”They only hear us with money,” she added”
So go get a job, bitch.

Yeah. Just one of many comical sound bites from today’s festivities.
