Minneapolis Flyer: Sweeps Are Police Brutality

A flyer posted on a pole in South Minneapolis reads "Sweeps are police brutality" and "We support and defend our neighbors in tents." The flyer's imagery includes a "no" symbol over a boot, and stylized tents. This message protests the practice of "sweeps," which often involve the removal of encampments of unhoused individuals by authorities. Such actions have been a point of contention in Minneapolis and other cities, particularly in the context of rising homelessness and debates over public space and housing policy.
