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. A week later, Deona Marie was killed when a vehicle drove through barricades at a protest related to Smith's death.
