Man Writing Graffiti on Target Sign, Minneapolis 3rd Precinct

A man applies graffiti to a boarded-up structure in Minneapolis, Minnesota, during the widespread unrest that followed the killing of George Floyd in May 2020. This location is situated near the Minneapolis Police Third Precinct, which became a central site for protests and public expression during the Minneapolis Uprising. Many businesses in the vicinity, including a Target store, were boarded up for protection, and these surfaces often became canvases for messages reflecting community sentiment. The spray-painted messages, such as "COPS R SLAVE CATCHERS" and "FUCK 12," conveyed strong anti-police sentiments and calls for justice. These acts of public expression served as a visual record of the community's response to systemic injustice.
