I thought the whole reason we went protestant was to avoid the whole veneration of saints thing.

What a stupid comparsion. A simple mural painting isn't comparable to people getting on their knees praying for donald trump to win again. One is simply a symbolic painting of a deceased man, the other is religious stupidity.

George floyd wasn't a saint, but his passing was symbolized as a victim of police brutality. It's not hard to understand. The angel wings aren't meant to symbolize "george floyd was an angel and we worship him" but rather "hopefully he's in heaven after dying a miserable death"
