Police said a group of five boys were inside the mall -- acting disorderly. They said a separate video shows the officer attempting to speak with the 17-year-old boy and he refused.

From the police department, the demonstrators on Saturday headed to Mayfair Mall and into the management office.

"The matter is being looked into and addressed," said Travis Nance, Mayfair Mall security director.
