MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — 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.
