Minneapolis Protest Sign: “Minneapolis is under military occupation”

Minneapolis is under military occupation
Protesters gathered outside the Hennepin County Government Center in Minneapolis on March 8, 2021, the day the Derek Chauvin murder trial began. The sign, held by a protester, reads "Minneapolis is under military occupation," reflecting the sentiment of many during the widespread protests against police brutality that followed George Floyd's murder. The trial itself was a focal point for ongoing activism and calls for justice and accountability within the Minneapolis community and beyond.
