Locks on fencing at Hennepin County Government Center, Minneapolis

Locks on fencing around Chauvin murder trial
Locks, many bearing messages, are affixed to the security fencing surrounding the Hennepin County Government Center in Minneapolis. These locks serve as a memorial to victims of police violence, placed during the period of heightened tension and protests following the murder of George Floyd in 2020. The government center was a focal point during the subsequent Derek Chauvin trial, and the fencing was erected to ensure security. The locks represent a collective expression of grief, remembrance, and a demand for justice from the community.
