National Guard Humvee, Nicollet Mall, Minneapolis 2020 Unrest

A Minnesota National Guard Humvee is positioned on Nicollet Mall in Downtown Minneapolis. This deployment occurred during the civil unrest in Minneapolis following the May 25, 2020 death of George Floyd. Many businesses along the pedestrian mall, a central artery of the city's commercial district, were boarded up as a protective measure, reflecting the widespread impact of the protests. The Minneapolis Skyway System, a network of enclosed pedestrian bridges, connects buildings like the IDS Center above the street, a characteristic feature of the downtown area.
