What actually happened is that two months after the event, white supremacists found a police officer who would sign off on a felony warrant based on close-cropped evidence. They used a citizen warrant process wherein any citizen can go to a magistrate themselves.

The felony warrant was eventually dropped to a misdemeanor when more complete evidence showed the injury standard wasn't met. Had an investigation been done, this process would have never happened. But Virginia's citizen warrant process admits a low bar for warrants to be served

Absolutely. And we have a lot of work to do to demand accountability for why this happened but we are ready to do that work.

Thank you for the correction! I appreciate information from proper sources.
