A video showing the arrest of a black woman by Metro Transit police officers that was widely shared on social media last week has prompted several activist groups to call a boycott of Metro Transit service Tuesday.
A bystander recorded Kenya Chandler, 38, of Minneapolis, being handcuffed and pushed to the ground by Metro Transit Police Sgt. Tim Lawrence at a downtown Minneapolis bus stop on Aug. 21.
Chandler was charged with disorderly conduct, a misdemeanor, and released.
