Jackson statue vandalized in downtown Kansas City

Police in Kansas City have arrested two men suspected of vandalizing a downtown statue of Andrew Jackson during a protest.

It happened around 5:30 Friday evening. The statue had been spray-painted with expletives and the words ``Slave Owner."

Protesters have defaced and even torn down statues of historic figures in several locations nationally in demonstrations against racial injustice.
