Virginia police chief who brought charges against Confederate monument defacers has b
Quote:The Virginia police chief who brought felony charges against a state Democratic lawmaker and others for attempting to vandalize a Confederate monument was fired Monday.
Portsmouth Police Chief Angela Greene suggested afterward that the termination was the result of her bringing the charges against state Sen. Louise Lucas and 17 others, though neither she nor her attorney spoke directly about the June 10 incident.
"I believe I was wrongfully terminated for upholding the law," she said at a City Hall press conference. "And (I’m) being retaliated against for sticking to my sworn oath that I swore to serve and protect my citizens, community and keeping my officers safe."
Portsmouth officials will not disclose the reason for Greene’s termination, under the protection of a "confidential personnel matter."
Also on Monday, a judge dismissed all charges against those charged in connection with the incident, including Lucas, NAACP leaders, several public defenders and a school board member, according to the Virginian-Pilot.
The office of Commonwealth’s Attorney Stephanie Morales stated in a court filing that police failed to show any evidence that a felony had been committed, according to The Washington Post.
The incident occurred on the afternoon of June 10, when a group of protesters spray painted the monument, ahead of a protest that night during which the heads of several soldiers on the monument were removed, including one that fell on a man, causing serious injury.
Greene brought the felony charges in August and was placed on administrative shortly thereafter. She has denied allegations that her investigation of the incident and the charges represented a conflict of interest.
"She is unfortunately the victim of political infighting," Greene’s attorney, Thomas K. Plofchan, Jr., told the newspaper. "She was a neutral employee hired to faithfully execute the laws, and when she did so, political powers-that-be bristled at that."

This is sick.
I want to know if I can violate laws and not face any charges. You know, like these guys did and the peaceful protesters.

Hard to believe how quickly the Mother of Presidents turned in to just another left wing playpen for the Soro's funded leftists. Like 5-6 years quick.
Thanks in large part to the carpet-bagger and clintoon bag man McCallaugh. Then we have the soros front groups funding all these far-left Atty's generals and down ticket races and here we are. Being completely overrun by the psycho's from the hellscapes they fled up north.
Please go back home and leave us normal people alone.

It's easy for them. They don't actually believe in the rule of law, so if it doesn't exist to them... no harm or foul in breaking it.

Can she sue? She should if she can, a wrongful termination lawsuit. Sue them for the amount she would have gotten if she remained until retirement and then go work for some other community, double dip, baby.
