The Minneapolis Police Third Precinct building, vacant and covered in snow, is secured by fencing and barbed wire. The structure shows visible damage from fire and is partially obscured by falling snow. The precinct has been unoccupied since it was damaged during civil unrest in May 2020, following the murder of George Floyd. The ongoing presence of security measures highlights the lasting impact of the events on the city's public facilities.
