A New Jersey city offered a tribute to George Floyd Wednesday by unveiling a 700-pound bronze statue of him outside Newark’s City Hall.
Mayor Ras Baraka and other officials attended the ceremony where it was presented, WPIX reported.
“Hopefully it inspires those who walk by to be more active, take part in activism,” Baraka commented.
Actor and filmmaker Leon Pickney commissioned the statue that was sculpted by artist Stanley Watts. The piece was donated to the city and will be on display for at least one year, the WPIX report said.
Pix 11 shared video footage of the unveiling ceremony, showing attendees pulling a tarp off the statue:
“The world needed a peaceful George. The world needed him relaxed and chilling, on a bench, and that’s what we produced,” Watts said.
In May, Lakers star LeBron James added his voice to others in the NBA who urged Congress to pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, describing Floyd as a man who “literally changed the world.” Breitbart News reported:

It’s made out of manure just like George Floyd, right?
I wonder how they’d feel if an angry mob of “peaceful protesters” came and ripped it down?
The woman in red is like: “glad it weighs a bit more then me. That would be embarrassing.”
wonder if it can breathe...
Thx. But I’ll pass on watching.
Not even close to enough.
We need to create a religion, around Saint Georgius Floydicus, the Savior of Mankind!
60 +++ YEARS
$27 TRILLION +++++
This is the result !!!!
George Floyd was pure trash. Since when do drug addicts get a statue? Our history is being trashed as more whites were slaves. These pukes in the teachers association are twisting US history.
I had to figure out which one was the statue.
Add woman abuser too
I had to figure out which one was the statue.
“Tear it down!”

The statue is so true to life that if you look at it just so, you can see the drugs he was hooping in his keister.
Not woke enough. Tear it down!

LMAO Laz. You are exactly right as this seems to be where we are going. We must figure out how to stop it .
I’m referring to him as “George Washington Floyd” from now on.
Here's a clue: 70% abortion rate and 70% violent crime rate.
America’s White Democrat Elites appear to be hell bent/driven to kill and then replace Black Americans with their illegal Hispanics and their beloved Muslim imported thugs!
1. Blacks each month in their blue cities are killed by Blacks shooting other blacks. Who provides the guns and ammo to blacks to kill each other? Guns and ammo are expensive.
2. Then, the elite Democrats kill monthly, only God knows how many Blacks with Fentanyl and coccaine OD each month, brought in by the Mexican drug cartels and Chicoms making and providing these deadly drugs for delivery to the Mexican Cartels each month to distribute to the Black Communities across America. Again, who provides the money to buy these killer drugs?
Drug seizures over all are up by 18 percent in May from April 2021. While that number is actually lower overall compared to May 2020 and a number of other months in both FY 2020 and 2021, seizures of the deadly drug fentanyl are significantly higher – up by more than 300% over May last year. CPB said that seizures of the fatal drug through May in FY 2021 are 56% higher than all of FY 2020.
Fentanyl, an opioid for pain treatment, is between 50 and 100 times more potent than morphine. More than 36,000 people died from overdoses involving synthetic opioids like fentanyl in 2019, according to the CDC. How many blacks killed by these illegal drugs are not listed as OD deaths?
Fentanyl seizures at the border rise; no fix in sight from Biden admin!
3. Each year the White Elite Democrats will abort about a million black babies in their Mother’s wombs. Again, who pays for these abortions?
4. Will there be any young and fertile Black Americans alive in 1-2 decades in America?
Not, if the elite White Democrats in control of our nation have their way!
LOL! ‘OFFS!’ was my first response, too!
“The piece was donated to the city and will be on display for at least one year...”
I’m guessing it’s defaced or damaged well before that.
I hope the statue is hollow, like the one of Enver Hoxha that the Albanians pulled down in 1990.
Where’s an ‘out of control’ speeding 18 wheeler when you need one? **At 3am, when I think your alone now, doesn’t seem to be anyone aro-ound.
