Cops Charge Senator, 13 Others, With Felonies in Confederate Memorial Vandalism




Encouraging a Felony
As The Washington Post reported of Lucas’ role in the mayhem, “as a crowd gathered at the Confederate Monument ... Lucas [told] police ... officers that they could not arrest demonstrators, who she said were about to paint the monument.”


The senator ordered police to stand down:


[Lucas] suggested that Portsmouth City Manager Lydia Pettis Patton would back up her claim.


“They’re going to put some paint on this thing and y’all cannot arrest them,” Lucas is heard saying on the video. “You need to call Dr. Patton because they’re going to do it. You can’t stop them. This is city property, all right. They got a right to go ahead.”


An officer responds: “Ma’am, you can’t tell them to do that.”


According to the video, Lucas replies: “I’m not telling them to do anything. I’m telling you, you can’t arrest them. Call Dr. Patton.”

My opinion: The title
