160 Pride flags vandalized at historic Stonewall National Monument, NYPD says
A large number of Pride flags were destroyed after they were taken from an LGBTQ+ monument in Downtown Manhattan this week, police said.
The incident marks the second consecutive year that the monument’s flags were damaged during Pride Month. “And they even jumped the fence and went into the memorial and stole the flags that said peace and love inside the park,” he added. “One of the things that I'm working on now is ensuring that we have better camera coverage all around, because it's not a matter of if this happens again, it's when it happens again we want to make sure that we can quickly identify who has done this,” Bottcher said.
The next morning, Bottcher posted photos of some of the vandalized flags, which had left on the ground after their sticks were snapped, on the social media platform“We love the LGBTQ+ community and celebrate them during Pride and all year round. We'll always have your back, and we will bring whoever defaced the Stonewall monument to justice,” he added.
