What Does Memorializing George Floyd, Tearing Down Statues Say About Society?

The article What Is the Future of George Floyd Square? (link) excerpts below, unintentionally makes a powerful statement about what we honor as a society. We tear down statues of Theodore Roosevelt (who was the first to have a black person as a guest at the White House) and even Abe Lincoln. These people have massive accomplishments. What were George Floyd's accomplishments? Passing counterfeit bills? Excerpts from article:
Sad that we celebrate crime and destruction, not accomplishment. Where to people expect the money comes from for social programs? From the air?
Bring lots of money.

There's a list
going of people who threw anonymous bricks at cops and firemen first responders...

After that
they called fireman cops in first responders when they needed that kind of help.

Is that hypocrisy
Paradox
pathos
Patriotism ?
