A Minnesota National Guard Humvee is parked on Nicollet Mall in Minneapolis. The presence of military vehicles on the downtown street reflects the heightened security and civil unrest that occurred in the city following the murder trial of Derek Chauvin for the death of George Floyd. Nicollet Mall, a pedestrian-oriented street, is a central commercial and cultural hub in Minneapolis, and its use by military vehicles underscores the extraordinary circumstances of the period.
