In an unannounced move, a large crane was brought through the city by a police escort to Lee Park, where it lifted the large statue from its pedestal late Thursday afternoon.
City officials said in a statement that an art conservator monitored the proper handling of the statue, and police tactical officers with automatic rifles provided security.
The statue was lowered onto a flatbed trailer for transport to an abandoned naval air station owned by the city on its western outskirts.

Have you wondered yet....when will they remove the statues in congress, the expensive do-nothing antique mummies, the stones of corruption?
The Nazi's did the same thing and these idiots supporting this ethnic cleansing will later regret it like the German people did.

The statue of MLK JR on the mall in DC offends me - take it down!
The riots have slowed down a bit since statues have been removed.I can't wait to see what happens when the Buffalo Soldier statues start to come down.That won't be an official ruling mind you.They'll just hook on to them with a chain and pull them down.Nothing formal.Tit for tat.
I could see the liberal a-holes in Md. doing this, but Texas?

They all have statues that have been removed or are petitioned to be removed AND they were all Democrats! All of them supported the confederacy and only one of them was an abolitionist (John H Reagan). In fact, in my research of this history erasing movement, I have only come across a couple statues of people who were actually Republicans or northern Whigs. Seems like Democrats are trying to erase their own wrong doings and they are using the ignorant people of America to do such. Democrats were the party of slavery, not Republicans.
