Minneapolis Graffiti: “Burn This Shit Down” on 4-Month Anniversary of Winston Smith’s Death

Burn This Shit Down Graffiti in Minneapolis
Graffiti reading "Burn this shit down" was spray-painted in South Minneapolis on the four-month anniversary of Winston Smith's death. Smith, a Black man, died in June 2020 after being shot by Minneapolis police. The phrase "Fuck 12" is also visible, a common anti-police slogan. This act of vandalism occurred during a period of heightened protest and unrest in Minneapolis following the murder of George Floyd.
