The city of Philadelphia has agreed to return the Frank Rizzo statue to the Frank Rizzo Monument Committee. The statue of the former mayor and police commissioner was removed from public view overnight in June 2020 from outside the municipal services building after being vandalized during protests over police brutality that was sparked by the death of George Floyd.
Protesters tried to set the statue on fire, threw Oodles of Noodles and gravy at it, and even spray-painted the word "fascist" on it. It has been in storage since. As part of the agreement approved by the Philadelphia Art Commission on Wednesday, the statue can only be displayed behind a fence on private property.
