Minneapolis Boarded Building: ‘Mpls Hates Kenosha Cops’

A boarded-up building stands in Minneapolis, near the site of the former Third Precinct of the Minneapolis Police Department. The plywood boards, installed as a protective measure during periods of civil unrest, are covered with protest messages. Graffiti includes names like "Breonna Taylor" and "Jacob Blake," alongside phrases such as "Mpls Hates Kenosha Cops," "1312," and "ACAB." These inscriptions reflect the widespread public sentiment and calls for justice that emerged during the Minneapolis Uprising and subsequent protests against police brutality and racial injustice in 2020. Such expressions transformed urban structures into canvases for public discourse, marking a significant period in the city's recent history.
