Thanksgiving protesters topple statues and vandalize buildings across US

Demonstrators in four cities across the country toppled statues, including one of George Washington, and vandalized buildings over Thanksgiving to protest colonialism and the treatment of Native Americans.

In Portland, Oregon, police responded to reports of protesters “breaking windows and spraying graffiti” at a New Seasons Market grocery store, according to a press release. Police found that at least 10 businesses had been damaged and arrested three adults on charges of criminal mischief and one minor on charges related to property damage.
