Barricades outside the Hennepin County Public Safety Facility in downtown Minneapolis, with anti-MPD graffiti.

The Hennepin County Public Safety Facility in downtown Minneapolis is shown at night behind metal barricades, traffic barrels, and stacked crowd-control fencing. Plywood covers the building’s ground-level windows and doors, and graffiti reading “fuck MPD” is written on the back of a street sign in the foreground. The county complex houses jail and court functions, and the security measures visible here were in place in September 2020 after protests in the area.
