Once again we are forced to rely on the British press to tell us what is really going on in our own country.


Hundreds of Black Lives Matter protesters descended on the Mall of America and Minnesota's main airport, staging a rallyWednesday that caused holiday travel chaos.

  • Protest began at Mall of America and then moved to Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport 
  • Activists were met by police officers who blocked their entrance into Terminal 2
  • Other participants in the march joined hands and blocked access to Terminal 1, causing major traffic backups
  • Police say several people were arrested at the airport 
  • Black Lives Matter organizers staged the rally to demand justice for 24-year-old Jamar Clarke who was shot in the head by police in November 
  • Gov Mark Dayton called the moving protest a 'very, very dangerous situation' and asked demonstrators to stand down
