Thread: I& #39;d like y& #39;all to read this order issued today from @GovernorVA. It places responsibility for "unrest" and reactions from police on protesters. This extends the State of Emergency until July 30. I& #39;ll include the Executive Order at the end of the thread. [Content warning.]

Why aren& #39;t more people outraged about the role of @GovernorVA in these coordinated and deliberate attacks against Richmonders? Scroll back up and revisit this thread. Call: 804-786-2211. Contact your Delegate and Senator and demand that they call for an end to police violence!
