MIAMI - Black skid marks on an LGBTQ progress pride flag painted on a Fort Lauderdale beach street were done intentionally, according to Mayor Dean Trantalis.
"The fact that somebody thought it was necessary to express themselves that way goes to show we have a lot of work ahead of us in trying to diffuse hatred and bigotry in our community," Trantalis told South Florida newspaper, the Sun Sentinel.
Damage to the flag, at A1A and Sebastian Street, occurred on February 28th, according to Fort Lauderdale police.
CBS4 cameras spotted street surveillance cameras near the flag. It is not clear if these recorded who may have damaged it.
The incident is under investigation.

Slick paint can cause loose traction.
They should fine the people who defaced the street surface with graffiti.
