Today, 12 June 2020, the statue has been covered with what appears to be a corrosive substance thought to be bleach. At a Black Lives Matter protest on 07 June 2020 the statue of slave trader and philanthropist Edward Colston which has stood in Bristol city centre for over 100 years was pulled down with ropes and thrown in Bristol Docks by protesters during the BLM rally and march through the city centre in memory of George Floyd, a black man who was killed on May 25, 2020 in Minneapolis in the US by a white police officer kneeling on his neck for nearly 9 minutes. The killing of George Floyd has seen widespread protests in the US, the UK and other countries. Photo credit: Simon Chapman/LNP.
