The George Floyd memorial statue in Union Square was vandalized with paint sometime overnight, cops said Sunday.

A photo posted on Twitter shows what appears to be paint covering the statue that was also defaced days after it was first unveiled on Juneteenth in East Flatbush, Brooklyn.

The statue was recently moved to the Manhattan park.

The nearby statues of the late Rep. John Lewis and Breonna Taylor were not touched.

Police didn’t immediately have further information.

Looks like the pigeons in NY found a new statue to poop on!

Yes, lets build a memorial status for a criminal that died from an overdose. The deification of this criminal is disgusting.

Oh the horror. You know that the people who put it up would never vandalize other peoples' statues.

If we're deifying criminals, then shouldn't we deify the people who did this?

And of course there’s a young white woman cleaning it up. I’m sure Saint Floyd would have treated her with the same respect and dignity.

Police didn’t immediately have further information.

And I bet they never will because I think the odds are a black person chucked the paint.

Oh no! Why would someone vandalize an olmec head? They're rare and precious historical treasures. Sad.

He would have pointed a gun at her and she would have kneeled and apologized for inconveniencing him.

Even besides fentafloyd, the statue is pretty ugly, why is he doing some retarded kissing face?

Why is this thing so ugly? Looks like it was shat out by a cheap 3D printer and they didn't even bother to polish said sturd

George Floyd? Isn't that the guy who raped a pregnant woman?

From the first picture it looked like it was gonna be a full body statue at that size, I almost wish that were the case. What the hell is the flimsy metal display stand it's on? Everything about it is so strange and tacky

 

[potato fan]

lol it's just property, I've been heard numerous times it can be destroyed with no loss to anyone. Insurance will cover this

The horizontal lines make me think it wasn't actually sculpted either and was just made by machine.

Gee, I wonder why?

 

[ToroidalBoat]

Again?

As long as "go woke go broke" is a thing, it's likely going to keep happening.

The deification of this criminal is disgusting.

George Floyd's death was a very useful pawn.

Probably because it was. They went with the cheapest bid to get it up faster so the (desired) petty vandalism it'd attract would lead them to more gibs as "compensation" for racism.

Why does this statue looks like it's about to blow somebody?
