ST. LOUIS (AP) A protest forced a large suburban St. Louis shopping mall to close for an hour on one of the year's busiest shopping days, and renewed concerns by protest leaders about how police handle demonstrations.
Protesters marched Friday at the St. Louis Galleria mall. Richmond Heights, Missouri, police say seven people were arrested for failure to disperse. One of the seven also was cited for assaulting an officer. Among those arrested was state Rep. Bruce Franks Jr.
Activist Darryl Gray says protesters were leaving when police forced a man to the ground. Gray says Franks tried to intervene on the man's behalf and was pushed to the ground and arrested.

Demonrat!!
Protesting the so called black Friday at a shopping mall??? Really????
Ha!
Ah, the old Rep trick. No mention that he is a Dem. so its easy to misinterpret Rep as Republican.
A black SJW on Black Friday.
It’s all color coordinated.
Here he is, protesting against cops.
Well....what was it they were protesting..??
What are they protesting..... brick and mortar retailing?
The AP photo showed zero protestors, just some cops standing around. Funny that.
Black lies matter.
Hmmmm, If you don't like that dog, you better stay out of his yard... In other words, if you look for trouble, you'll probably find it..
People in ST. Louis area must be tired of these ***h**es.
Wait it coming, 6 will get you 12, they’re going to cry police brutality.
Franks should be sued for all the losses of the businesses during the shutdown.
Cops.
we have our own racist black so called pastor doing the same here over confederate monuments.
Annual lighting of the town for Christmas , a family event of celebration was used by a racist pastor who lives no where near this town to cause trouble, and get in peoples faces over him wanting the monuments removed.
Now he plans to do the same again at the Christmas parade.
All these people do is piss others off and lose more support for their cause.
It’s a continuation of the protest against the not guilty verdict in favor of Officer Jason Stockley.
Yes - and we'll double check it when we book you....
I believe East St, Louis is a ghetto rat-hole.
