Mall of America Sues Black Lives Matter Activists to Stop Protest
-----------------------------------------------------------------

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.
