A Statement from The Honorable Reva M. Trammell, Councilwoman, Richmond City Council, Richmond Southside 8th Voter District


Regarding vandalism of the Richmond Police Memorial Statue
         
(Richmond, Virginia U.S.A.) - “I think it is a horrible insult, tragedy and shame that the Richmond Police Memorial Statue was vandalized. These Richmond Police officers dedicated their lives to protecting our families and the desecration of their memory at a cemetery, park or anywhere is just plain wrong. Whoever did this are either cowards or misguided individuals that need to be exposed and held accountable for this shameful act. Their sentence should be to either pay for or assist with the restoration of the Richmond Police Memorial Statue and to do community service that includes working with the police and the community.”
