I don’t mean to be insensitive, but what the heck?
I was not expecting a statue like this and neither were many on Twitter:

There were a lot more comments of shock that I don’t want to post here because of language, but I’m sure you can imagine. Several said it looked like Don Cheadle though, LOL.
Honestly, I’m not sure I saw one single positive comment on the statue. Seriously, what were these people thinking?
