Minneapolis 3rd Precinct: ‘Not Democracy, Not Safety, Stop Violence’ Sign

This is not democracy this is not safety
A protest sign reading 'THIS IS NOT Democracy THIS IS NOT Safety!! STOP THE VIOLENCE' is displayed at the former site of the Minneapolis Police Third Precinct. The Third Precinct building was burned during the protests following the murder of George Floyd in May 2020. This sign was present on the fifth anniversary of Floyd's murder, reflecting continued public sentiment regarding policing and community safety in Minneapolis. The site, marked by a 'DEVELOPMENT UNDERWAY' banner, signifies the ongoing process of rebuilding and re-evaluating public infrastructure in the area.
