I was arrested and charged with a Class 1 Misdemeanor this past Sunday in Richmond Virginia during a peaceful #BlackLivesMatter march. We were marching through the streets protesting after Governor Ralph Northams Executive Order 64 that imposed an 8pm curfew.
I believe this order to have been a move to inimidate us, suppress our rights to free speech, and an attempt by the state to document and contact trace protestors.
After gasing the peaceful protest because of an imposed curfew... we were cornered by an officer in a small plaza. He stepped out of his car and said “I’m sick of your snowflake bullshit” and to “go back to your basements”. We asked if we were free to go home and he said we were.
