A new sculpture of Breonna Taylor in downtown Oakland, California, was smashed to chunks over the weekend, and police are investigating it as an act of vandalism.

The bust of Taylor, a woman whose fatal shooting in Louisville, Kentucky, in March was prompted by her boyfriend shooting a policeman, had been installed only two weeks earlier in Oakland's Latham Square.

Leo Carson, who sculpted the bust, said that he has visited the square since the work was found defaced on Saturday and related the destruction to that of racists tearing down statues of White historical figures.

"Art matters, and these vandals know it," Carson said.

Paul Chambers, an Oakland police spokesman, confirmed Monday that the incident is considered vandalism.

Taylor, a 26-year-old emergency medical technician, was killed by police returning gun fire after her boyfried shot a policeman during a police raid on her apartment. After examining the evidence, a grand jury in September declined to charge the policemen in her death.

Yes. And art has substance. That was not art.

Fair play for allowing niggers to tear down and vandalize white artwork/monuments.

(Statue of dead diddu because she hanged out with other diddu's that killed police.)

Are we suppose to feel sorry for her? She's no different than the children of Cartel leaders. They know where the money is coming from, they know who they associate with and that they are capable of leading to an earlier dirt nap.

Also watch when Biden gets in that suddenly Antifa and BLM will be thrown under the rug never to be talked about again too.

She was not a hanger on, she was deeply involved in the drug dealing, and the "boyfriend" at one point claimed she is the one who shot at the cop.

NBC News has a picture of it in their article and probably others too. It's still largely intact.

The creator is going to build another, but the next one will be made of bronze — hence, much sturdier.

There is a GoFundMe campaign to recreate the sculpture that has surpassed its $5,000 goal.

I sense a new game of 'capture the flag' in the offing. Let the games commence!

Wow, so the artist gets more notoriety and more money as a result of this crime. I hope they find the guy who did it. I wonder what his motive could have been?

She was a piece of living shit, just like Fentanyl Floyd. I heard they just tore down a Lincoln statue, let just go ahead and nullify that 13th amendment too. If you reject the man, his history, his importance, then go the extra mile and remove his contributions to your lives.

Sounds like her boyfriend was a real clever guy. Why is she looked at as a hero? She was hanging out with and fucking a criminal moron.

All of the high profile shootings by police this year were the result of black people being non-compliant with police orders. Some assaulted or attempted to kill officers.

Black people have long turned to lying with accusations of racism to exuse their tribesmen's reckless misbehavior, but since the Michael Brown incident in Ferguson, Missouri, it has evolved into a structured media campaign involving race activists (like BLM) and major news organizations.

The story lines are intentionly misleading and slanderous against police ("unarmed black man," and such). With them in full control of the public narrative there is no accountability. Instead, their lies are rewarded with enormous influence and often financial windfalls.
