Abolish The Police No Cops in Minneapolis
Abolish The Police No Cops in Minneapolis.

Graffiti reading "Abolish the Police" and "No Cops" adorns the concrete wall of a parking ramp in Minneapolis. This location is significant as the site where Winston Smith was killed by law enforcement officers on June 3rd. The graffiti reflects sentiments expressed during protests following Smith's death and the broader "Abolish the Police" movement. A week later, Deona Marie was killed when a vehicle drove through barricades at a protest related to Smith's death.
