Uptown Minneapolis Protest Sign: Frey and Walz Are Cowards

Frey and Walz are Cowards protest sign
A protest sign in Uptown Minneapolis reads "Frey and Walz Are Cowards." This message is directed at Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, likely referencing their responses to protests and civil unrest. The sign's placement in Uptown, a neighborhood that experienced significant activity during the 2020 Minneapolis uprising, underscores the political climate of the time. The graffiti on the adjacent wall, including references to "Smith," likely alludes to Winston Smith, whose death in police custody in 2021 was a catalyst for renewed protests in the city.
