National Guard soldiers are stationed outside the Minneapolis Police Fifth Precinct, a location that became a focal point during the trial of Derek Chauvin. The precinct was heavily fortified with fencing and concrete barriers to prevent damage and maintain order amidst protests following the murder of George Floyd. This security measure was part of "Operation Safety Net," a coordinated effort by law enforcement and the National Guard to manage public safety during the high-profile trial.
