Community Control of Police Sign at Minneapolis Open Streets
Taken October 2021
A sign reading "COMMUNITY CONTROL OF THE POLICE SIGN FOR CPAC HERE" is displayed at a tent during the Minneapolis Open Streets event on Lyndale Avenue in 2021. The "Minneapolis Uprising" of 2020, which followed the murder of George Floyd, brought increased attention to calls for police reform and community oversight. CPAC, likely referring to the Community-Police Advisory Council or a similar organization, was present at the event to gather support and distribute information. The "Open Streets" initiative temporarily closes major streets to vehicle traffic, transforming them into public spaces for community engagement and activities.
