Protests after Derek Chauvin is released from jail.

A protest sign reading "Hey Derek you forgot your hat!" is held during a march in downtown Minneapolis, the day after former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin was released on bond. The sign also features a drawing resembling a Ku Klux Klan hood, with additional text including "BREAK THE THIN BLUE LINE" and "ARREST KILLER KKK OPS?". Protesters marched towards the Minneapolis Police 1st Precinct to voice opposition to Chauvin's release and demand police accountability.
