DURHAM
The protester who climbed a ladder to help bring down a Confederate soldier statue was arrested Tuesday, and Sheriff Mike Andrews said his office will pursue felony charges against others.
Let me be clear, no one is getting away with what happened, Andrews said.
Takiyah Thompson, a member of Workers World Party and student at N.C. Central University, was arrested after activists held a press conference at NCCU Tuesday afternoon.
In a release Thompson said she was the one who tied a rope around the soldiers neck so that others could pull the statue to the ground.
The protest left The Confederate Soldiers Monument, dedicated on May 10, 1924, headless on the grass.
Thompson was charged with participation in a riot with property damage in excess of $1,500 (Class H Felony) and inciting others to riot where there is property damage in excess of $1,500 (Class F Felony), the Sheriffs Office said.
She also was charged with disorderly conduct by injury to a statue and damage to real property, both misdemeanors.

That would be a lesson for Children, but not adults.
After she has done her time, deport her to Liberia.
Yeah, but the choice of physician might be limited....
LOL!
Yeah I thought that was a guy too. Haha!
Like that old Aerosmith song, “Dude looks like a lady!”
It’s apparently a requirement to live to get tomorrow’s donuts for free.
County cops don’t have cars, lights and sirens?
Oh, they’ve got lawyers aplenty.
World Workers Party, my how very Marxist...
Beep, beep,beep
I guess they do...
What do you think??
Big whoop. She’ll get off and their goal will have been accomplished...they LET them destroy the statue.
They were apparently not issued lead feet that day...
Instant karma with a felony as a resume enhancer.
You need to get out of fantasy land.... That’s not going to happen, and bad as you wish it would.
They police everyone of them on facial recognition software. It’s easier to round them up when they are not in mob mentality, but just driving down the road or are in their homes.
The dumb@asses that participated in the video, and being charged with felonies are probably now regretting they are going to have to lawyer the f*ck up. Most of them probably can’t even afford a good lawyer too which will translate into a guilty plea.
Hope they enjoy the felony on their records. Good luck getting a job or staying out of prison.
Exactly!
But you would’ve been there when it happened if you were a county cop, right???

I would not count on that.
Most open shut cases like this almost always plea guilty.
The question will simply be was the law broken. Good luck fighting that.
Shaun King and the Taqiyah girl’s professor of diversity have already tweeted out a fundraiser. She’ll get a lawyer in no time, probably won’t have to pay for it.
Too bad they’re going to beat the rap.
Easy defense - “Cops didn’t tell us to stop so we thought it was ok.”
The police don’t seem to have a problem pulling someone over when their going over the limit. Why not just follow them and wait till they stop wherever their going?
