Anti-Police Brutality T-Shirt Kiosk Vendor to Return to Mall
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CHERRY HILL, N.J. — Aug 12, 2016, 5:45 PM ET
A kiosk operator who was asked to stop selling anti-police brutality T-shirts and left a mall last month says he has received an apology and plans to reopen the kiosk.
The Cherry Hill Mall asked Amir Miller to stop selling the $20 shirts because they were considered offensive. The shirts feature two stick figures resembling police officers beating a third figure on the ground and read "This Has to Stop!"
Miller, who's from Philadelphia, said he designed the shirts in response to police shootings that killed two black men in Louisiana and Minnesota. Rather than comply with the request to stop selling them, he walked out on his rent and deposit.
He later posted an online video saying people offended by the shirts might be part of the problem. The video received tens of thousands of views.
