St. Paul Students Protest Abolishing Police, Justice for Amir Locke

Students protest in St. Paul with signs reading Black Lives Matter and Justice for Amir Locke.
Students in St. Paul protested the abolition of the police and demanded justice for Amir Locke, who was killed by Minneapolis police in February 2022. The protest, which began at noon, saw participants calling for the resignation of interim Minneapolis Police Chief Amelia Huffman and Mayor Jacob Frey. Signs held by the students articulated their vision for "abolishing the police," which they defined as dissolving police departments, reallocating funding to community services like healthcare and housing, and rebuilding public safety based on collective care.
