Street Barricades at Hennepin Ave & Lake St, Minneapolis

Street barricades and graffiti are visible at Hennepin Ave & Lake St in Minneapolis, marking a site of civil unrest.
Street barricades are visible at the intersection of Hennepin Avenue and Lake Street in Minneapolis. These barricades were erected following significant unrest in the area. On June 3, 2021, Winston Smith was killed by a Federal Task Force, and on June 13, Deona Marie was killed when a driver struck protesters demonstrating against Smith's death. The graffiti on the boarded-up building references these events, including the phrase "WHEN THE COPS AND THE COURT REFUSE TO DO THEIR JOB." The presence of barricades and graffiti indicates a period of civil unrest and community response to perceived injustices.
