Police watched as the statue burned for several minutes before putting it out with fire extinguishers. Then the officers returned to headquarters.

President Donald Trump said on social media that the officers were not doing their job.

There are 19 statues honoring the Confederacy in the D.C. area. While Pike served as a general in the Confederacy, the 11-foot bronze statue of Pike honored him as an author, poet and philanthropist, WRC reported.

Arturo de Hoyos, historian for the Freemasons, said the statue honors Pike’s contributions as a private citizen, not a member of the Confederacy. However, he agreed to its removal, WRC reported.
