“Everybody Hates the Police” Graffiti, Downtown Minneapolis
Taken July 2020
Graffiti reading “Everybody Hates the Police” is visible on the windows of a building in downtown Minneapolis. This message emerged during the Minneapolis Uprising, a period of widespread protests and civil unrest that followed the killing of George Floyd in May 2020. The shattered window pane and concrete barriers in the background indicate the damage and security measures present in the area during this historically significant time. Such graffiti served as a direct expression of public sentiment and a visual record of the social and political climate in the city. It reflects the intense public discourse and community response to events that reshaped the urban landscape and social consciousness of Minneapolis.
