Posters advocating for the abolition of the police are displayed on a street pole in Uptown Minneapolis. The text reads "Abolish the Police" and "We Keep Us Safe." These posters appeared in the context of protests and unrest following the killing of Winston Smith by federal law enforcement officers in June. The location is near the parking ramp where the incident occurred, highlighting the community's response to police violence and their calls for alternative safety measures.
