George Floyd mural in Minneapolis defaced with black paint
Someone has defaced a giant mural of George Floyd at the Minneapolis intersection where he died in May.
Minneapolis: Someone has defaced a giant mural of George Floyd at the Minneapolis intersection where he died in May.
Someone sprayed black paint on the mural on the side of a food market, the Star Tribune reported. A Minneapolis police spokesman says the department hasn't taken any reports about the vandalized mural, however. Other Floyd murals around the country have reportedly been defaced, including in Rochester, Minnesota; Long Beach, California; and Portland, Oregon.
Floyd, who was Black, died on Memorial Day after four Minneapolis police officers arrested him for allegedly trying to use a counterfeit $20 bill at the food market. The officers held him down on his stomach in the street while he was handcuffed.
A white officer pressed his knee into Floyd's neck for nearly eight minutes even as Floyd said he could not breathe. His death sparked global protests against racism and police brutality.
