I do have a question though. What is this officer doing in the abortion clinic? Why is the City of Richmond apparently assigning a police officer to a private business rather than making the business provide its own security detail like Wal-Mart or any other legitimate business would do? If this officer is moonlighting, he has no authority to write official summons/tickets. If he is moonlighting in uniform, he is abusing his authority and should be summarily fired.

Hi, I direct the ministry that sent out the press release. www.lifeandlibertyministries.com
In Richmond VA, police officers can moonlight (in uniform) with arresting authority. The Officer, at the time of the arrest was on the payroll of the clinic as he is several days of the week.
