Today, Virginia lost two of its finest. Officers John Painter and J. J. Jefferson were killed in the line of duty on the campus of Bridgewater College. These officers were dedicated to the protection of others and were willing to face danger every day. https://t.co/I1tTfLY1qY

OK folks, STOP using COVID as an excuse to loose violent offenders on Virginia victims families and communities! This now in the wake of the unfolding Parole Board scandal should deeply disturb every law abiding Virginian. https://t.co/82K7GvIwyX
While VA Dems prepare for Defund the Police Session and RVA literally burns, Northam's Parole Board was caught red-handed covering up release of murderers from VA prisons. And they broke the law to do it. Call the Gov at (804) 786-2211 and tell him to fire his parole board! https://t.co/xzgtW8kzPm
Outrageous. General Assembly staff cant get to work but Administration officials blithely bypass Dem gun screening. https://t.co/QICJjD0cHD
Bill eliminating Qual. Immunity for LEOs, HB 5013 died today in the Senate. Was primarily supported by the radical Defund crowd. It was a bad idea from the start and does not protect bad cops. It protects good cops who make reasonable mistakes in the most difficult circumstances. https://t.co/CFIiJoTfkv
After 56 felony convictions, who could’ve predicted that, if released, this guy would commit another? Apparently not the Virginia Parole Board. #firetheparoleboard https://t.co/ivZBGk8Eac
This is just crazy. Pandering at its worst. Va Dems have become the party of Sanders, Warren and AOC - and they are proud of it. This and their other police reform will drive good men and women away from careers in law enforcement & make Va less safe. https://t.co/O0m01HOIha
General Assembly employees waiting 45 minutes or more to get into building for work because of ill advised gun policy. https://t.co/qUnwnKmlJS
