# Black Lives Matter Protesters March Through Downtown Mpls.
WCCO ^ | 4/29/15

Posted on 04/29/2015 5:29:12 PM PDT by markomalley

On Facebook, Twin Cities organizers called on people who stand for social, economic and racial justice to peacefully rally with them.

“It’s imperative to understand when we lose a life to police, it affects all of us,” organizer Mica Grimm said. “Police are out to protect every single citizen, not just certain ones.”

This isn’t the first time this group has rallied together.

“Black Lives Matter” is the same organization that demonstrated inside Mall of America on Dec. 20, 2014 to protest the deaths of Michael Brown in Ferguson and Eric Garner in New York.

The protesters briefly shut down the mall on one of its busiest shopping days of the year.

Earlier in December, “Black Lives Matter” caused a closure of Interstate 35W just outside of downtown Minneapolis. Demonstrators marched up the interstate to Minneapolis City Hall.

These marchers will have some credibility when all lives matter.

When will the Black lives of those innocently killed in drive-bys matter?

Same night the usual protestors in Ferguson were out and several hours before the two officers were shot, Marcus Johnson, 6 and a kindergarten student, was murdered in a drive-by. Killer still not caught. This blog about an officer that was there is poignant and very sad.

Black Lives Matter crowd, the lives only matter of a select few. They should be marching for the Marcus Johnson’s of the Country.

I go to a ‘mall’ once a year - and only because my girlfriends DRAG me there with the promise of wine with lunch, LOL!

Thank Gawd for internet shopping. My co-workers are MERCILESS at teasing me about packages that show up all week long, but it’s a win/win as far as I’m concerned.

It’s convenient and it keeps me from being shot, at the very least! :)

Actually black lived matter LESS.....
not that most blacks even care about life...
EXCEPT for themselves...

Life for others does not matter...
They vote for democrats AND the murder of babies.. 95+ percent..
especially black babies..

it’s suicide by homie.. demographic Harikiri..

Any city with a large population of irresponsible violent people... not giving any hints about race of that type... anyone's guess... could be the amish... Only time will tell ...

It’s going to be a rough summer. I predicted it last year long before Ferguson.

If black lives matter, then why are they always killing each other?

How much do the lives of the kids this jerk sold drugs to matter?
Why the outrage over a two bit street punk’s death, when he was killing everyone who dealt with him?
Black lives don’t matter much.
