I think a non native person may have said “whose land is this?!” To a group of indigenous folks but idk...
Crowd is mainly gathered in front of the jc listening to a speaker while a handful remain in the park in front of the federal courthouse
Pretty decent sized crowd for a Sunday. Lots of people again.

If you're following the wave of uprisings against racist police violence, you've probably heard that Derek Chauvin, the cop who murdered George Floyd, had a long history of criminal conduct, but was still carrying a gun, wearing a badge, and billing the taxpayer.

Chauvin was no aberration. Minneapolis, like many cities, has a police crime problem - that is, a problem addressing the crimes committed by its own police force, thanks to a combination of impunity, white supremacy, opacity, and militarization.

Even where police reforms are enacted, the forces ignore them...and get away with it. That happened in Minneapolis. As @MarshallProj documents, a half-decade after the DoJ investigated problems with Minneapolis's police, virtually nothing has changed.
