The statue on Flatbush Avenue was dedicated during Juneteenth celebrations a week ago.
A George Floyd statue in Newark, New Jersey, was also recently vandalized,New York police distributed photos from security video that captured four people walking in the area of the Brooklyn statue at the time.On Friday, the former Minneapolis police officer convicted of murdering George Floyd,Floyd, a Black man, was killed when May 25, 2020, when Chauvin, who is white, knelt on his neck for 9½ minutes.
It's odd. Blacks and some Whites riot, burn, loot, and destroy businesses and neighborhoods yet few are arrested and these are later released with no repercussions. A statue of a Black man accidentally killed is defaced and 'We must find jail and/or execute who did it. Hypocrisy.
Really Sad, why people feel they have to resort to destroying things🤔💙💦
Over 197 statues were vandalized last year…you spent almost no time on any of them. You’ve re-run this story a dozen times…. Seems a little out of balance for just one statue defaced. The Media Is The Virus

Racism...... The GOP Response is always:
Check each other’s hands for spray paint stains. 😂 sorry, that was mean
LOL all last summer people defaced, decapitated, and tore down statues simply because of the RACE of the person the statue was made of..... This inversion of logic is astounding, the media has been gaslighting the nation and world.
Jussie Smollet Bubba Wallace the list goes on. When NBC reports you know its fake.
Hate crime. For a statue. We seriously need a do-over as a species.
Trump supporters at it again. No respect just hate.
Of course our oppressors will call it a hate crime. It’s all about oppressing anyone who fights back.
There are folks & groups literally just seeking to agitate /disrupt - this could have been done by anyone posing as anyone.
. Being against the destruction of statues is trumpism .
Just imagine living in a third world shit-hole like the US.
Vandalism maybe hate? Was nbc on Fentanyl all last year?
Im guessing all the statues destroyed last year were not hate crimes but somehow this one is? Who cares. Lets be consistent and get rid of all statues, including this one since George was a drug head and not a role model
Well that was stupid
Damaging or tearing down statues is WRONG. We need history or else we are doomed to repeat it.
For those who live/have lived in NYC, and have had their property stolen/damaged, or have been the victim of simple assault or mugging: Was there ever an 'investigation' that involved anything beyond taking your statement, and filing it away?
A lot of people have no problems on destroying and defacing historical statues, and then everyone loses their heads when this one was deface. Everyone should be glad that it wasn't destroyed.
Love it. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👊👊🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🐎🤡✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
“Vandalising statues is bad now.”
Desecrating a statue is wrong
'America changing countries' has been a disaster for the world Can you let go of it The impulse to change others, who you don't understand at all
Lol
I don't condone vandalism ...even pulling down of statues.
