Bloomington authorities on Wednesday announced charges against 10 anti-police-brutality protesters who participated in a large-scale demonstration at the Mall of America last month.


That's in addition to the twenty-five demonstrators who were arrested on charges of trespassing at the peaceful, but unsanctioned rally that took over the mall’s rotunda for several hours on Dec. 20, one of the busiest shopping days of the year.  The 10 have been charged with crimes range from unlawful assembly and public nuisance to trespassing and disorderly conduct, according to Bloomington police deputy chief Rick Hart.
