Graffiti reading 'ACAB' and 'FUCK 12' is visible on the pavement outside the Federal Courthouse in downtown Minneapolis. This graffiti emerged during a period of widespread protests and civil unrest in Minneapolis, particularly following the murder of George Floyd in May 2020. Federal courthouses, as symbols of the justice system, often become focal points for public expression during protests concerning legal and social issues. The phrases 'ACAB' (All Cops Are Bastards) and 'FUCK 12' are anti-police slogans commonly used in protests against police brutality and systemic injustice.
