Demonstrators clash as Jefferson Davis Monument toppled in New Orleans

NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana (KTRK) -- The Jefferson Davis Monument in New Orleans is no more.

Crews removed the second Confederate monument with a crane early this morning.

Supporters and protesters were on scene to watch the workers bring down the controversial display.

The monument is the second of four monuments to be removed.

The statues are coming down after a judge refused a last-minute injunction.

The process began last month when the Liberty Peace Monument was torn down. Supporters and protesters clashed then too.
