St. Paul Protest Sign on Rice St. Questions Police Force

Protesters march on Rice Street in St. Paul, holding signs to voice concerns about police accountability. This protest took place a day after the St. Paul Police Department released body camera footage of an officer shooting Joseph Washington, an unarmed Black man, who was being attacked by a K9. The officer involved in the shooting was subsequently fired from the force. The sign displayed questions the depth of reform, stating, "You fired ONE officer. How many Killers still on the force?", reflecting broader calls for systemic change following incidents of police violence.
