Cement Barricade Graffiti
Graffiti sprayed on cement barricades outside the Brooklyn Center Police Department. Messages include: "Abolition Now," Fuck Killer KKKops," and "Death to Amerik[^3]a".
Note: the [^3] refers to the mathematical symbol meaning 'to the power of 3' which in this context would read as "Death to Amerikkka". See the third image for the graffiti in context.
