Transcription: 

There goes Christopher Columbus. The statue of the explorer who discovered the

New World was hoisted off its pedestal in a park in downtown Chicago. The statue

has been a lightning rod for protesters who last week pelted cops with bricks and

frozen water bottles in an epic battle that shocked America.

Protesters: Who do you serve? Who do you protect? 

Reporter:Today, on the orders of Mayor Lori Lightfoot, the statue was removed in 

the dead of night, 3:00 a.m. Two hours later, a second Columbus statue, covered 

with graffiti, was removed from Chicago's Little Italy neighborhood. 

The mayor says the statues have been temporarily removed until further notice

because of demonstrations that became unsafe for both protesters and police.

Lightfoot herself came under siege at her own house, as a huge crowd demanded

the defunding of police. It's part of a new trend, bringing protests to the homes 

of big city mayors.

Protesters: Defund the police! 

Reporter: It's happened in L.A., Seattle, Oakland and New York City when a 

caravan of cars drove past the mayor's official residence.

And in the city of Portland, more episodes of fury as protestors faced off against

law enforcement for the 57th night. The White house: Tragically, three federal 

officers were likely left permanently blinded by the rioters using lasers pointed

directly at their eyes.

 

Questions: 

1. Who is Christopher Columbus? 

2. For what reason the statues were removed? 

3. Detail the new trend of protest happening around the US.
