I especially like how someone says, with a straight face, that having the unaffiliated, hired police file charges, instead of the elected, political, local prosecutor, was somehow “political”.
Fortunately, in Virginia, the police can bypass the elected AGs, who clearly are put in place to protect the crimes committed by their party.
On the other hand, I don’t know how you actually get a conviction if the prosecutor is not willing to make a case.
It is clear they HAD to file charges, because not only were these protesters destroying public property (which all too often gets ignored), in the act of committing that crime, they actually seriously and permanently injured a person.
This legislator was actively encouraging people to tear down the statue, in violation of law, and in doing that, she nearly got someone killed.
And the democrats want her to go free, because a real human life is worthless to them, compared to a vote in the Senate.
Only from the law. Just saying ...
Scumbag racist governor says because she is black she shouldn’t be charged.
Anyone familiar with Virginia law: 1) Can the police procure an arrest warrant without the consent of the Commonwealth Attorney? 2) If the Commonwealth Attorney refuses to prosecute, what happens?
Yeah, only from the law.
Is KKK Northam implying she should get off?
Nobody is above the law right?
How do you know when a Democrat is a criminal?
They breathe.
Good going, governor. Turn it into a race issue. Maybe more people will loot, burn, and maim people.
Good job!
There’s your problem right there
13 others were also being charged with crimes, including several NAACP members, one school board member and three public defenders!
W0W!
Typically, legislators are not subject to arrest during legislative sessions, unless, as in this case, a felony or other serious crime has been charged.
She’s a Black Democrat woman to boot...she is ABOVE the Law.
WTF is up with all these WOMEB as Polce Chiefs in these Democrat cities??? Is it a LAW now?
