A museum might be the best place. I am afraid that in a few years we are going to start seeing a rise in hate groups claiming that slavey never happened, like the holocaust deniers use to. Can't let it be erased from history.
You might be able to tell that the statue is not made of stone, it is made from metal. I don’t know how you expect people to turn metal into rubble. Throwing it in the river is easier
That's one of the weaker arguments I've heard to justify mass littering and possible toxification of the water-ways. Not to mention it does not actually even do it's job because, as pointed out, *anyone at any given time can go in and fetch the statue as they please. Be it now, or decades from now.

*obviously whoever "anyone" may be would have to have the right circumstances and the right equipment, which I must state or someone will inevitably make "aNyOnE cAn Do It" type comments
I don't know how trustworthy it is, but the grapevine told me that this guy used to tie up slaves and throw them into the harbor. The protesters thought it fair to see the same done to him, and even bound the statue's legs like that would do anything.
Take it with some salt, I didn't get to multi-source this one yet.
Now stay the fuck away from Grant, Lincoln, Washington, Sherman, and Churchill for that matter. Churchill may have been racist and sexist, but he made damn sure that Britain didn't kow tow to Nazis.
