PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Protesters who took to the streets in Portland
for the 22nd consecutive night tore down a statue of George Washington
that was erected in the 1920s.
The demonstrators placed a sticker on the head of the statue that
read “You are on Native land" and also spray-painted the statue's
pedestal.
The Portland Police Bureau said a smaller group split from several
hundred peaceful protesters and threw hot dogs at police and cut a fence
surrounding the Justice Center.
Another group set a fire around the Washington statue before tearing it down. No one was arrested.
Last Saturday, protesters at the University of Oregon in Eugene vandalized two statues representing white pioneers.
Sunday night, protesters tore down the statue of Thomas Jefferson
from a pedestal in front of Jefferson High School in North Portland.
