Original post

At least two people are were detained Tuesday before the start of the Prince William Board County Supervisors meeting.

One woman was detained inside the atrium of the county’s McCoart Government Center for assault and battery, a police officer told the woman being placed in handcuffs.

Before her arrests, a mob of protesters crowded the main entrance of the McCoart Building about 1:30 p.m. At least one other person had been arrested by this time, prompting a group of protesters to use a blow horn to yell at police, while others chanted “let her go.”

Other chants included “protect the people, not the badge.” Protestors also held signs that stated “protect the community, defund the Prince William County Police.

On the Supervisors’ agenda today is a resolution for Supervisors to pledge to contuse to fund the county’s police department, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this month.

This is the first meeting of the Board of County Supervisors in a month. On June 16, protestors chanting “Black Lives Matter” hijacked the Board of County Supervisors meeting, using citizens’ time to curse at the elected leaders, and to advocate for defining police.
