George Floyd statues vandalised in US

A White supremacist group reportedly vandalised a statue of George Floyd, unveiled on June tenth commemorating his death in police brutality last year in Minneapolis, in New York on Thursday morning. George Floyd's killing in Minneapolis sparked worldwide outrage against racial violence and triggered a massive "Black Lives Matter movement" in the country. According to multiple reports by local media, black paint was thrown on the bust of Floyd. The group, considered to be a white right-wing hate group, also painted "PatriotsFront.Us" at the pedestal with white paint. It was discovered vandalised at around 7:20am local time.

This came after police in Newark said that they are investigating the defacing of another Floyd bust at City Hall in New Jersey. This was vandalised overnight. The 700-pound bronze statue also had the name of the same hate group painted in white on the front. Floyd was killed last year by a police officer during an arrest. Derek Chauvin, one of four police officers who were at the scene, knelt on Floyd's neck and back for more than nine minutes, while Floyd gasped for breath. The police officer was found guilty of murder in April this year by the court.
