Black Lives Matter intends to shut down Rosedale Mall on Sunday. Guess I'm having difficulty understanding this because Rosedale Mall is located in Roseville. Castile was shot in Falcon Heights by St. Anthony police. Roseville is not a black neighborhood, per se.

Protesters thus far have shut down I-94 in St. Paul, have shut down I-35 in Minneapolis, have shut down Summit Ave in front of the Governor's Mansion. Why aren't they protesting at the state capital? Disrupting daily lives of Twin Cities citizens is not endearing them to a cause.
Undoubtedly, after Rosedale, the next stop will be the Minnesota State Fair, which actually is held in Falcon Heights.
And, on another note, the class that the officer who shot Castile took is not exactly getting a favorable mention.
"The Bulletproof Warrior. Street Survival. These evocatively-named classes were among the training electives taken by the officer involved in the Falcon Heights shooting last week.
A Twin Cities man who took one of the classes said he was greatly disturbed by what he saw — an instructor goading law enforcement students to not hesitate to shoot, and assuring them they’d be legally covered if they did. A promotional video for the other urged officers to visualize killing someone, to get “back in the game,” or get killed."
