https://bluevirginia.us/2020/07/video-richmond-mayor-levar-stoney-police-chief-gerald-smith-hold-press-conference-condemn-last-nights-violenceMayor Stoney said what happened last night was violence which takes us backwards, and unacceptable in the city of Richmond. He called it disgusting that white supremacists were spearheading this event, with the intent of undermining the peaceful protesters and the work the community has been doing the past few months.
Mayor Stoney thanked BLM protesters who decried the white supremacists there last night, and said the city will bring justice to those who incited violence and destroyed property.
Police Chief Smith said he believes that Antifa and those influenced by Antifa was present last night, and that the police have identified Boogaloo Boys in attendance. He said the police are continuing to investigate and asked for the media to share their video footage with the police. Smith added that the majority of those individuals who were there last night were caucasian.
