Private security clears out the Winston Smith and Deona Marie memorial in Uptown Minneapolis. Some of the contractors were carrying restraint zip ties while being armed with military fatigue. The space had been a protest zone after law enforcement killed Winston Smith on June 3rd. Deona Marie was killed 10 days later when a man drove through barricades into the protesters.
Protesters and who the police call "hot rodders" shut down streets in Uptown Minneapolis. Police moved in hours later and the crowd dispersed. Minneapolis Police also declared an unlawful assembly but eventually left without making any arrests.
Minneapolis Police arrive at the "Wince Marie Peace Garden" after they respond to "hot rodder" and protester street closures a couple blocks away.
