"We decided that restraint and public safety would be our priority,? Andrews said in a statement posted on his agency's website. ?As the Sheriff, I am not blind to the offensive conduct of some demonstrators nor will I ignore their criminal conduct.?

Protesters celebrate after toppling a statue of a Confederate solder in Durham, N.C. Monday, Aug. 14, 2017. Activists on Monday evening used a rope to pull down the monument outside a Durham courthouse. The Durham protest was in response to a white nationalist rally held in Charlottesville, Va., over the weekend

He continued: ?My deputies showed great
restraint and respect for the constitutional rights of the group expressing their anger and disgust for recent events in our country. Racism and incivility have no place in our country or Durham.?

    Expect more of these kind a "social justice". Good thing it's hurricane season. I reckon they won't be out tearing down property.

    I warned Southerners that this type of stupidity would spread to the South along with the economic growth.

    I hate it, but I knew it would happen.

    That Sheriff needs to be recalled for not "protecting and defending".

    He was "Protecting and Defending" according to his interpretation of the law.

    It's not their right to destroy property.

    Even if the subject matter is offensive (not saying it is) the bronze was a museum quality sculpture.

    The vandals should make restitution.

    It won't be inexpensive to restore.

    If racism and incivility have no place, I wonder what he thinks a mob tearing down a statue is?

    A fun afternoon in the park? Good grief.

    As law and the spirit of the law, to keep those who do not belong OUT.

    and the NC governor sez;


    In response to the statue in Durham being torn down, Democratic North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper tweeted: "The racism and deadly violence in Charlottesville is unacceptable but there is a better way to remove these monuments."

    also, I find it strange that the police watched and pawned off their responsibility by saying it was in the county and they were city police.

    A) then WTH were you doing there in the first place?

    B) so destruction of public property is fine in the county if the only cops available are city cops? again, WTH?


    how rich.

    I'd give anything if they would drop them off and I'd put them in the front yard.

    CWII is looking more likely everyday, ain't it?

    If the Sheriff stood by and watched property being destroyed, maybe the Sheriff should resign.

    The Sheriff is Guilty of aiding and abetting:

    Vandalism

    Destruction of Public Property

    Violent Mob Action

    He should be locked up with the rest of the worthless wastes of flesh.
