Hundreds of protesters demonstrated over the lack of charges for officers involved in the November shooting of Jamar Clark, yet another in a list of young Black individuals dead after an incident with the police. The Associated Press reports that the rally began in the mall’s rotunda, where protesters chanted the slogan, “What do we want? Justice! When do we want it? Now!”
Protesters were met inside the mall by police and security guards. Electronic signs warned them that they were on private property and could be subject to arrest. Demonstrators posted images on social media of the scene inside the mall.
Demonstrators remained in the Mall of America for about an hour and a half. After leaving the mall, protesters continued on to Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, where they blocked traffic and chanted, “Black lives, they matter here.”
