A memorial to the man whose death sparked a summer of madness five years ago is being destroyed, but that isn’t the end of the story.
On Friday, social media platform X user End Wokeness posted a video of a wall bearing a painting of George Floyd being torn down in Salt Lake City, Utah.
The mural depicting Floyd the criminal and others can be seen collapsing as an excavator pulls it down from behind. He had a fatal dose of Fentanyl in him and had robbed a convenience store. He was a thug and anything but a facade to raise money so that the head of BLM could buy mansions and give nothing back to the black community. They helped no one
Floyd is the Minneapolis man who died after being detained by police in May 2020. His death was followed by riots nationwide that laid waste to huge areas of American cities, causing billions of dollars in damage.
A veteran Minneapolis police officer, Derek Chauvin, was convicted of murder in the case.
The wall bearing Floyd’s picture was located on Fleet Block, which the Salt Lake Tribune describes as “disused 10-acre site on the edge of the Granary District that is home to potent street murals depicting people killed by police.”
The demolition is part of a redevelopment project in which, according to the Tribune, “the run-down Fleet Block is envisioned for the future as a vibrant mixed-use public square benefiting the surrounding neighborhood with housing, community amenities, open spaces and a dedicated memorial honoring its history.”

As the Tribune noted, the city details its plans on a website titled “The Future of Fleet Block.”
“Salt Lake City’s Fleet Block has been a symbol of hope for the community and local businesses for over 10 years, with calls for economic growth, green spaces, and social justice through murals,” the post reads.
