“Welcome to the Pig Pen” Graffiti
The phrase “Welcome to the Pig Pen” written in green spray paint across four plywood boards covering windows of the Minneapolis Police Officers Federation. The building is boarded up on the front and a large, black, iron fence surrounds the parking lot. This phrase as well as several others on the pavement are written within the fenced-in area. Graffiti and stickers outside of the fence surrounding the building have been erased, covered up, or removed.
