T-shirt vendor Amir Miller receives apology, will return to Cherry Hill mall.Amir Miller was selling T-shirts at the Cherry Hill Mall under his business name Teary Eyez last month when mall management asked him to get rid of shirts from his inventory that said "THIS HAS TO STOP!," according to reports.
The shirts also had a picture of two stick-figure police officers beating up a person on the ground and officers in the mall reportedly raised concerns.
A shopper also complained to Miller.

A corporate apology and invite to return to the mall with his business was sent to Miller and he is anticipating re-opening come January, according to Philly.com.
