George Floyd Statue In New York City Vandalized, Days After It Was Unveiled For Juneteenth

According to local law enforcement officials, a statue of George Floyd, unveiled for Juneteenth less than one week ago, has been vandalized in New York City.

The New York Police Department (NYPD) Task Force announced that they have opened an investigation into the incident.

Floyd died a little over one year ago in an arrest involving excessive force by former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, sparking nationwide protests and riots.

Chauvin was convicted of second-degree murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter in April.

Five days after the Juneteenth reveal, the NYPD announced that “officers discovered graffiti on a George Floyd bust statue and pedestal” in Brooklyn.

“An unknown individual spray-painted the statue’s face black and covered the words on the pedestal with the black spray paint,” they said.

Additionally, a link to a website for a group associated with white supremacists was found on the pedestal.
