NYPD opens hate crime investigation into vandalism of George Floyd statue at de Blasio’s orders

The police say they are investigating spray paint found on the statue of George Floyd in Brooklyn as a hate crime, according to NBC News. Police say the statue was defaced with the website of “Patriot Front” spray painted in black across its face.

Patriot Front has been labeled by groups like the Southern Poverty Law Centre as “a white nationalist hate group” due to its connections to the Charlottetown “Unite the Right” rally and other incidents.
