Amir Miller said he had no problems selling T-shirts at a kiosk in the Cherry Hill Mall for the past year and a half.
Then he recently offered a shirt that reads "THIS HAS TO STOP" and depicts the silhouettes of two police officers attacking a person cowering on the ground.
In a video posted on Facebook on Tuesday evening, Miller said the mall's management had just told him to remove the shirts because they were offensive. He said he would taken them down for the night, but "tomorrow, that's a whole 'nother story."
That video quickly garnered 74,000 views with more than 1,400 comments.
On Wednesday evening, the mall issued a statement saying it had reversed its decision and invited Miller "to continue sales of the T-shirts," the Courier-Post reported.
But Miller had not spoken to the mall's management, he said in a Facebook Live video posted Wednesday at 6:48 p.m. He said they called him, but he refused to answer his phone.
"I don't think they're genuinely sorry for what they said to me," Miller said in the video, which shows him clearing out his kiosk and leaving the mall and vowing not to do business with the mall.
In the background, several people can be heard calling for a boycott of Cherry Hill Mall.
In less than three hours that video had more than 9,000 views.
Mall management could not be reached for comment Wednesday night.
