FILE - In this Aug. 20, 2018 file photo, police stand guard after the confederate statue known as Silent Sam was toppled by protesters on campus at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, N.C. Judge Allen Baddour ruled Wednesday, Feb. 12, 2020 that the Sons of Confederate Veterans didn’t have standing to bring the lawsuit that led to the hastily arranged deal that gave them possession of the statue known as Silent Sam, along with $2.5 million to maintain it. He vacated the deal and also dismissed the underlying lawsuit brought by the SCV. Critics had questioned how the deal was quietly struck with the UNC Board of Governors and approved just before Thanksgiving. (AP Photo/Gerry Broome, File)
