Good work by the FCP!
Police work is exceptional. Now, if only the DA, and judges do their work to keep these miscreants off the streets.
Nope, the legal profession is overflowing with empty people who never could quite find out what they wanted to be when they grow up, and chose to join the litany of little lunatic losers with a hero complex convinced that they know better.
$1500 bail???!!! Illegal guns and drugs? I thought VA was tough on crime.
Free my boi Phillip , he a G since hs đŸ’¯
Thank you Fairfax County Police !!
Now if they’d just do some basic ticket writing and plate checks on the cars parked at the drug dealer human trafficking house on Heming rd ar Axton that kids have to walk by on the way to school everyday . Anyone else find the situation so obvious and so easily solved with a few parking tickets and perhaps an ICE raid?
