Bob Kroll Protest Banner with Red Handprints, Minneapolis

A protest banner in Minneapolis is covered with red handprints and the message “Bob Kroll has blood on his hands.” Trays of red paint and disposable gloves beside the sign show how participants added the prints during a June 2020 protest outside the Minneapolis police union headquarters. The banner refers to Bob Kroll, then head of the Minneapolis police union, during protests that followed the murder of George Floyd. The protest and march called for Bob Kroll to step down as Minneapolis Police Union leader.
