A pride flag on the ground at Francis William Bird Park on Thursday, June 6, 2024. Police were investigating how the flag was cut down.
A sign displaying a Pride flag was apparently cut down at a park in Walpole, Massachusetts, on Thursday, police said, asking for help identifying who did it.
Someone apparently used a power tool to chop down the sign at Francis William Bird Park between 7:30 and 8:35 p.m., according to Walpole police. They shared images Friday of a wooden structure on the ground, with what appeared to be a clean cut through it.
