Protester Ebony Anderson-Carter said the anger and destruction was spurred in part because state and local officials refuse to listen to protesters' calls for change.

She said while the Forward and Heg statues stood for good causes and movements, those in power are not taking that same stand with the Black Lives Matter movement. Having those statues prominently displayed in Madison creates a "false representation of what this city is," she said.

"I just hope some people realize that sometimes you need to talk to people in a language that only they understand," Anderson-Carter said. "Stop trying to make us speak to you in your language."

The irony.

Wonder if she speaks 7.62mm?
