A Minneapolis police officer stands watch beside a squad car during an election night protest in Uptown Minneapolis on November 3, 2020. Officers deployed in tactical gear and rifles that night as marches moved through the neighborhood toward Bryant Square Park, where police made several arrests. The response came amid a broader wave of unrest that had gripped Minneapolis for months following George Floyd's killing that May, with departments across the city on heightened alert for potential Election Day disturbances.
