sizable crowd standing in the rain outside the harrisonburg public safety building demanding that they drop the charges & free melissa, who is being held without bond after being brutally arrested over a noise complainhburgcitizen.com/2018/12/20/aft…wAY5
call the rockingham county commonwealth’s attorney & demand that they drop the charges against melissa. weaponizing noise ordinances against black bodies is egregious, especially in a college town where white frat boys are never treated this way.

melissa was released on bond today! she and her wife are behind on rent & if they are evicted, melissa may be sent back to jail. please help them out if you cagofundme.com/get-justice-fo…wWWy
the body camera footage of the events leading up to her arrest was released by the harrisonburg PD. nowhere in this video do you see melissa assaulting an officer. repeatedly in this video, you see officers assaulting women. extreme content warning.
this started over A NOISE COMPLAINT. because the music was too loud. they complied with the request. they cooperated. then officers tackled a woman into her own home and repeatedly tazed her. and then charged her with assaulting an officer.
