Pioneer Monument — Attraction in San Francisco

Up until just before the pandemic shutdown the Pioneer Monument was a central statue surrounded by 4 others on raised pedistles, sometime around that period, without warning, public comment or input from anyone, as far as I can tell, the statue on the North side of the monument was , like a covert delta force operation, removed in the middle of the night. It is still (as of 23 August 22 ) gone. Why you ask? Great question. My guess is that it was deemed politically incorrect as it was a scene with I believe 3 different characters depicting christians berating an American Indian. It had been there forever and all of a sudden it was removed because it actually depicted what likely happened. The truth may be painful but we must not deny our past otherwise we are doomed to repeat it.....that said I'd love to know who signed off on removing the statue(s) and publicly make them give an accounting of the decision process behind this very short sighted...
