A Minnesota National Guard soldier stands with a riot shield beside a Humvee on Lake Street in Minneapolis. This deployment took place on May 30, 2020, during the fourth day of protests following the death of George Floyd. The National Guard was activated to support local authorities amidst widespread civil unrest, while the Minneapolis Fire Department worked to extinguish nearby fires. Lake Street, a significant commercial corridor, became a focal point of activity during this period, which brought national attention to issues of racial justice and policing.
