Virginia police chief fired as felony charges are dropped in Confederate vandalism case
Portsmouth Police Chief Angela Greene was fired as felony charges were dismissed against Sen. Louise Lucas, Virginia’s most senior Black legislator, and 18 others.

The police chief of Portsmouth, Virginia, was fired Monday in what she suggested was a politically motivated move moments before criminal charges were dropped against a prominent state senator and several local Black leaders accused of conspiring to damage a Confederate statue during a protest this year.

The latest twist in the case involving state Sen. Louise Lucas, a high-ranking Democrat who is Virginia’s most senior Black legislator, drew praise from members of her own party who condemned the charges.

Portsmouth police in August charged Lucas and 18 other plaintiffs, including a school board member and members of the local NAACP chapter and the public defender’s office, with conspiracy to commit a felony and injury to a monument in excess of $1,000.

This legislator did not propose legislation to remove the monuments.  Instead she got together with a mob and conspired to tear them down.

She was arrested, the charges were dropped, the police chief was fired.

Now they want us to believe that the legislator was innocent and the police chief was a partisan operator pit to get the legislator for being a black woman.

Despite a summer of monument destruction across America.

Clearly there is no justice in America. It is all “just-us” that serves the (Democrat) party in power.

We are heading to Banana Republic status at breakneck speed.

  1. I’ve always believed that public servants – especially elected ones – should be held to a higher standard; and the higher the office (and thus the greater power), the higher the standards. They are given the public’s trust, and should act accordingly.

    This … this would seem to be the opposite of that principle.

Only one rule: Don't be a dick.
