A group of appx. 150 protestors gathered tonight at HQ, they marched in the area and later spray painted parts of the statue and front doors. Several were arrested for property damage and assault on officers. As of 11:15p no projectiles or tear gas have been deployed https://twitter.com/arothfield/status/1284330408965025799
The statue honors the 119 KCPD officers who have given their lives in service to Kansas City. Many of the officers whose names are inscribed there were African-American.
A few vandals in the group last night did this to the statue, they are in custody for that. Today we are begining to professionally restore the monument. We remain committed to ensuring everyone’s safety when protesting and continuing to serve this community #stillserving
