Minneapolis Protest Signs on Hiawatha Ave Overpass

Banners reading "MPD MURDERED AMIR LOCKE" and "MPD MURDEROUS PIG DEPARTMENT" hang from an overpass on Hiawatha Avenue in Minneapolis. The protest occurred on the anniversary of Amir Locke's death, a civilian killed by Minneapolis police during a no-knock warrant execution in February 2022. Activists, including mothers of victims of police violence, continued calls for the firing of interim police chief Huffman and officer Hanneman, who was involved in Locke's death. The protest took place on I-94 and Hiawatha Avenue, a major thoroughfare in Minneapolis.
