\n Chicago\u2019s two Christopher Columbus statues were taken down under the cover of darkness early Friday after violent clashes broke out last week between police and protesters, according to reports.<\/p>\n

Hours after Mayor Lori Lightfoot called for it to come down, one statue was removed in the Windy City\u2019s Grant Park, while the other was seen being dismantled in Arrigo Park in the Little Italy neighborhood, NBC Chicago reported.<\/p>\n

Demonstrators nationwide have clamored for the removal of statues of Columbus to be taken down, calling the Italian explorer a symbol of hate and oppression \u2014 while others view him as an important part of Italian-American heritage.<\/p>\n

On Monday, Lightfoot said she would announce a process in which the city would take inventory of the city\u2019s monuments, paintings \u201cand other things that memorialize\u201d its history, the news<\/a> outlet reported.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn time, our team will determine there are no monuments to African Americans in this city,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are no monuments to women. There are no monuments that reflect the contributions of people in the city of Chicago who contributed to the greatness of this city.\u201d<\/p>\n

As recently as last month, Lightfoot said she didn\u2019t believe the Columbus statue at Grant Park should be removed.<\/p>\n

\u201cLook, I know that the issue of Columbus, Columbus Day is an issue of great discussion but I think that the way in which we educate our young people in particular about the history is to educate them about the full history,\u201d she said at the time.<\/p>\n

Last week, 49 cops and four demonstrators were hurt when clashes broke out during a protest calling for the statue\u2019s removal. More than a dozen individuals were also arrested.<\/p>\n

Police have since said a group infiltrated the peaceful demonstrations to spark violence, according to NBC Chicago.<\/p>\n

Stefan Cuevas-Caizaguano, a resident watching the removal of the statue at Grant Park, told the Chicago Sun-Times: \u201cThis statue coming down is because of the effort of black and Indigenous activists who know the true history of Columbus and what he represents.\u201d<\/p>\n

John Catanzara, president of the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 7, has recently feuded with the mayor after he wrote President Trump a letter asking for federal help to address the surging gun violence in the city.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m sick of the mayor thinking she can do whatever she wants to do,\u201d Catanzara, who is of Italian descent told the Sun-Times.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s not a dictator. She\u2019s a coward that she wanted to do this in the middle of the night when nobody was paying attention after she said she wasn\u2019t going to take the statue down,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

On Thursday night, hundreds of protesters rallied outside Lightfoot\u2019s home and demanded that the local police be defunded.<\/p>\n

The demonstration came after Lightfoot reportedly did an about-face and agreed to Trump\u2019s plan to send 200 federal agents to Chicago, in the aftermath of a shooting outside a funeral home that injured at least 15 people.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
