Irrespective of what he did he was killed by a police officer who suffocated him
And he was one of many black men killed by the police in the USA
This what the protest was about

You get wilful damage everywhere from mindless folk .
Its all a bit sad as these stones In the link below and the statue in town have had stuff damaged and put on them .
I can remember paint throwing as very naughty pastime at many statues and buildings

He didn't choose to become the martyr the police chose that by killing him in the street.
What did he do to make him a scumbag? Did he do anything bad enough to be killed by the state without a trial?

He didn't deserve to die, obviously, that was tragic.
He didn't seem to be the nicest person in the world mind did he, the stories can't all be wrong, some people may label him a scumbag for some of the choices he made in life.

So the mural should be defaced then?
Unless entirely missing the point how he lived is life isn't important in the slightest is it?
What did he even do to make him a scumbag? Was it any worse than any other scumbag?

A recent post on Facebook shows a photo of an injured woman with a text that claims Floyd assaulted her. The June 14 post claims Aracely Henriquez "was the woman kidnapped and brutally beaten during a home invasion by George Floyd and his accomplices as they searched her home for drugs and money."
The post then goes on to claim Henriquez was pregnant at the time and that Floyd threatened to kill her baby.
False claims surrounding Floyd's death in Minneapolis police custody and protests have also surfaced online and have been previously debunked by USA TODAY.
Unrelated incident in Spain
The woman pictured in the viral post is not Henriquez; her name is Andrea Sicignano.
Sicignano shared her story in December 2018, writing that she was sexually assaulted by a stranger when studying in Madrid.

Funny how quickly people are to lap up this bollocks isn't it.
Anyway it's by the by, no one is saying he's a hero but he is a martyr for a cause and anyone defacing that statue is doing it as a nagative against that cause.

Its ok, I've said the statue deserved to be vandalised without actually saying the statue deserved to be vandalised. I'm a modern day magician.
