Minneapolis Police and Winston Smith protesters

Minneapolis

Protesters and who the police call “hot rodders” shut down streets in Uptown Minneapolis. Police moved in hours later and the crowd dispersed. Minneapolis Police also declared an unlawful assembly but eventually left without making any arrests.
