Police are tools of white supremacy.

Thousands marched in downtown Minneapolis the day before jury selection began in the trial of former police officer Derek Chauvin. Chauvin was charged with the murder of George Floyd on May 25, 2020, an event that sparked widespread protests against police brutality and racial injustice. The marchers carried signs with messages such as "Police = Tools of White Supremacy" and "Dismantle White Supremacy," reflecting the broader movement for Black Lives Matter. The protests highlighted deep-seated issues of systemic racism and police accountability in the United States.
