As counties continue to reopen, people are expressing their anger over police brutality in different ways. One way is by taking down or defacing statues that some say represent oppression. It’s happening all over the world and it’s happening in San Francisco.

Coit Tower is a major symbol in the city and right below that is a statue of Christopher Columbus. On Friday, it was defaced. His face and hands, painted red. “I don’t think he should have ever been celebrated as a person,” said Heather Dodson from Denver. “He brought diseases pestilence he enslaved people and an overall bad person that shouldn’t have a statue to begin with.”
