Police: 7 arrested for vandalizing Columbus statue in Miami

The arrests happened Wednesday after a chaotic scene ensued in the city where protesters had a confrontation with police, and a day after a figure of Columbus was torn down in Richmond, Virginia, and another was found beheaded in Boston, Massachusetts.

There is "zero tolerance for those who hide behind the peaceful protesters to incite riots, damage property, and hurt members of the public or our officers," police added in a news release announcing the arrests. "We've been peaceful all week long and you just broke that peace," Richard Dombroff, a demonstrator, told officers after the confrontation. Dombroff was given an award from county leaders for stopping people from damaging a CVS during a protest in late May, WFOR-TV reported. Louis Hernandez, another demonstrator, told the Herald police had "came out and started brutally slamming protesters," before the chaos ensued.

Reading this comments make me cry to much ignorance

ALL HUMAN BEINGS OF ANY RACE, ETHNIC OR RELIGIOUS BELIEVE HAVE THE SAME RIGHTS AND DUTIES, INCLUDING TO WORK !!!!

I guess anyone can do anything now with no concequences

More white hate

Since the Wokerati mob seems determined to remove all vestiges of Slavery Original Sin, they will eventually get to the end game.

All in the name of BLM? Do people realize what they are supporting?

WHAT A BUNCH OF FOOLS ! DESTROYING HISTORY FOR NOTHING ...

Despicable thugs are glorified by the leftist media. Where are the cops? This will not end until our laws are enforced. Otherwise this is anarchy.

Wonder when they find out what Pierre Trudeau and his son were and are. Soon? If ever a name needed to be removed. Trudeau is as fine an example as any.

Columbus is an important part of history, but he was an evil man. No one wants to remove him from the history books, just to stop celebrating him.

Buddha is an affront to the Taliban just as Columbus is an affront to BLM. Both destructions were justified to the destroyers.

Pierre Trudeau rode around Montreal dressed like a Nazi let's take his statues down.

Everything was good until this m.....f.....r came

More white hate

Im old. I remember north america celebrating when statues of bad men were destroyed.

Excellent.

These statues are a part of history...learn from history, don't try to erase it.

Good I dosen't matter what is being vandalized it's never okay

just wrong!!!!

Calgary woman accuses police of break-and-enter, assault and kidnapping related to 2019 arrestA Calgary woman is accusing two city police officers of breaking into her home, assaulting her and kidnapping her related to an October 2019 arrest that was captured on video by her son. Now.. Now that the media hates cops.. Almost a year later she decided to bring this up? I'm starting to wonder if CTV has all these people on a call list for such times. So now it starts. I pity the police that have to deal with stupidity and that includes the media who publish this trash. Oink oink oink. At least they always wear their hillside strangler gloves which comfortably fit my profiles of them.
