During the holiday shopping season of 2014, hundreds and hundreds of protestors gathered at the Mall of America outside of Minneapolis in Bloomington, Minnesota, to peacefully demonstrate their desire for justice with local issues and national justice causes surrounding the lack of justice following the deaths of John Crawford, Mike Brown, Eric Garner, Darrien Hunt, Tamir Rice, and more at the hands of police.
Unbeknownst to organizers, undercover police, pretending to actually care about the causes, attended planning meetings in an attempt to identify organizers and undermine the movement. Now, it has just been announced, a month later, that ten strangely selected protestors, out of the hundreds who protested, are being charged with crimes including popular law professor, Nekima Levy-Pounds.
Beyond the reality that these demonstrations were completely peaceful, the random selection and charging of these particular demonstrators with crimes makes no real legal sense. Furthermore, the City of Bloomington is now demanding that protestors pay for the "overtime" charges of police. Bloomington City Attorney Sandra Johnson stated:
"The cost to the taxpayers of Bloomington for the police overtime and additional police resources of other communities currently exceeds $25,000," it says. "The cost to the MOA for the additional security needed to maintain public safety during the demonstration currently exceeds $8,000."this another example of the audacity of arrogance, they deceptively insert undercover's in a peaceful demonstration and when no subversiveness activity was found they decide to create their own by charging for them being there uninvited there is a complete list of charges in the article. ahh the police can't live with 'em can't live with 'em but there are surely those we can live without. remember the cops who beat a man in Ferguson MO. than tried to charge him for getting blood on their uniforms? more and more are they assuming the practices of gestapo, storm troopers, KKK how long before the country admits and moves to correct the fact that this is an American problem "Black people are not a menace to society, society is a menace to Black people"
