In 2020, Levy Armstrong participated in local protests over the killing of George Floyd, an unarmed African-American man, by a white Minneapolis police officer. She was present when police officers fired tear gas on protesters without warning at the Minneapolis third police precinct station the afternoon of May 26 as a separate, smaller group of demonstrators were throwing objects at officers. The incident resulted in Levy Armstrong being a named party in a U.S. District Court complaint filed by the American Civil Liberties Union of Minnesota over the right to peaceful protest.[23] Levy Armstong was critical of Minneapolis police union leader Bob Kroll, and participated in protests calling for his resignation.
