Minneapolis Jacob Blake protest: ‘Murderous Police’ sign

City of Lakes Murderous Police sign
A protester holds a sign during a march in downtown Minneapolis, outside the Hennepin County Government Center. This protest was held in solidarity with Jacob Blake, whose shooting by police in Kenosha, Wisconsin, in August 2020, sparked widespread demonstrations against police brutality and racial injustice. The sign, which reads "Murderous Police City Of Lakes," reflects local sentiment regarding law enforcement, referencing Minneapolis's nickname. The Hennepin County Government Center, a prominent civic building, frequently serves as a gathering point for public expression and advocacy.
