3 More Arrests
A photo of a cardboard sign planted in a garden. The sign reads: "3 more arrests end police brutality" end, police, and brutality are larger and underlined for emphasis. There is also a red heart.
In the background we see street art related to Philando Castile, a 32-year-old black man who was shot and killed during a traffic stop. This picture comes from the Philando Castile memorial garden, located in Falcon Heights MN . The shooting of Philando Castile in 2016 has a direct effect on public opinion and activist mobilization in the death of George Floyd in 2020. Those who mourn Philando are taking time in his memorial space to demand the 3 other officers be arrested. As of June 17th 2020, all 4 officers involved in the death of George Floyd have been charged, so this sign must have been placed before June 3rd; when officers Tao, Kueng, and Lane were charged and officer Chauvin's charges were upgraded to 2nd degree murder.

Call To Action: 3 More Arrests
A white tagboard sign located at the Philando Castile Memorial in Falcon Heights MN. It reads: "Call our MN businesses and ask them to demand (pressure) 3 more arrests, Thao, Lang, Kueng" "black lives matter" also written in smaller letters in upper right corner. The rest of the sign has contact information and names of leadership for the following companies: Target, EcoLab, Sleep Number, 3M, Best Buy, General Mills, and Cargill.
As of June 19, 2020, Target and Best Buy have made Juneteenth a company holiday for the first time.
Note: this sign must predate the June 3rd charges against the other three officers involved in the killing of George Floyd. Prior to June 3rd, there was widespread public disbelief that only officer Chauvin was charged. This sign is also notable for being a call to action.
