Local protests over the murder of George Floyd (sometimes called the Minneapolis riots or Minneapolis uprising) began on May 26, 2020, and quickly inspired a global protest movement against police brutality and racial inequality.

Minneapolis sustained extraordinary damage from rioting and looting in the resulting chaos—largely concentrated on a stretch of Lake Street south of downtown—including the demise of the city's third police precinct building, which was overrun b ...
