A planned and peaceful protest took place at Bellevue Square on Saturday afternoon by people advocating that “Black Lives Matter.”

The phrase has been used elsewhere in demonstrations following the fatal shooting of an unarmed black man in Ferguson, Mo.

Approximately 40 people entered the mall around 2 p.m., staged a “die-in” by lying on the floor and then left the mall after 3 p.m. after they were notified they were trespassing. No arrests were made. Bellevue Police said the protestors continued to demonstrate outside the mall and eventually dispersed about 4 p.m.

Police and mall personnel were aware of the planned protest in advance and the city made arrangements for media to park offsite if they wished to cover the event.

Protest backers, who called themselves Outside Agitators 206, said on a Facebook page that they wished the event to be a peaceful demonstration and that everyone be kept safe.
