Razor wire comes down at Third Precinct.

Workers remove razor wire from the exterior of the Minneapolis Police Department's Third Precinct building. The precinct was heavily damaged by fire during protests following the murder of George Floyd in May 2020. The razor wire and concrete barricades were installed as security measures during the subsequent unrest and the Derek Chauvin trial. The city plans to redevelop the site into a "Democracy Center" intended to house election services and community spaces.
