“Target Run” Protest Flyer, Minneapolis 3rd Precinct, Minnehaha Ave

Time for a target run protest flyer
Flyers protesting the construction of a new Minneapolis Police Third Precinct are displayed near the former precinct site on Minnehaha Avenue in South Minneapolis. One flyer, designed to resemble a Target advertisement, sarcastically invites the public to "Celebrate the opening of the NEW Police Precinct at 2633 Minnehaha Ave." and depicts a shopping basket containing items like charcoal and bolt cutters. This protest art emerged during the period following the 2020 Minneapolis Uprising, when the original Third Precinct building was destroyed and community members opposed its reconstruction or relocation within the area. A smaller accompanying flyer explicitly states "NO NEW THIRD PRECINCT!" and includes a QR code for more information, reflecting ongoing community opposition to the police presence in the neighborhood.
