Vandals threw a pig's head at the one-time home of a former California police officer who served as a defense witness for Derek Chauvin, the ex-officer accused of killing George Floyd, police said.
The incident occurred early Saturday morning at the house in Santa Rosa, California, where Barry Brodd used to live, the Santa Rosa Police Department said in a statement.
The department said Brodd appeared to have been targeted over his testimony.
“Mr. Brodd has not lived at the residence for a number of years and is no longer a resident of California,” the department said. “Because Mr. Brodd no longer lives in the city of Santa Rosa, it appears the victim was falsely targeted.”
A person at the home found the head on the front porch, which was splattered with blood. The suspects, who were dressed in black, fled as the person called 911, the department said.
The same suspects are believed to have drenched a statue at a local mall in animal blood about 45 minutes later and left a sign that read, “Oink Oink,” the department said.
The suspects, who are accused of felony vandalism, have not yet been identified.
No hate crime? Vandalism *THis time? WTF over, if that was a burning cross we'd hear screams far and wide.
