Brodd testified Tuesday that Chauvin, a former officer, was justified in kneeling for more than nine minutes on George Floyd, did not use lethal force and “acted with objective reasonableness.”
The vandals were dressed in black and ran away when the victim called police, the release said. There was more than $ 400 damage to the home, and police said the incident was considered a criminal vandalism.
Police said the house was Brodd’s previous home, although he “has not lived in the home for a number of years and is no longer a California resident,” the statement said.
“It appears that the suspects in this vandalism targeted Mr. Brodd for his testimony,” police said in the release. ‘Because Mr. Brodd no longer lives in the city of Santa Rosa, it appears the victim was falsely targeted. ‘
Another act of vandalism took place 45 minutes later in Santa Rosa Plaza Mall, where a large hand statue was also smeared in pig blood. The vandals also left a sign in front of the statue with a photo of a pig with ‘Oink Oink’ on it, the release reads.
Police believe the house and the statue were vandalized by the same people.
