Military Helicopter over IDS Center, Minneapolis 2020

A military helicopter flies over the IDS Center in downtown Minneapolis in late May 2020. This presence occurred during the period of civil unrest and protests that followed the death of George Floyd on May 25, 2020. The IDS Center, completed in 1972, is the tallest building in Minneapolis and a prominent feature of the city's skyline, housing offices, retail, and a hotel. The deployment of military aircraft and personnel was part of the state's response to the widespread protests and demonstrations across the city.
