WHSV: ‘It’s unacceptable’: Richmond Police Chief gets emotional while talking about fire set to home with child inside

RICHMOND, Va. (WWBT) — Richmond Police Chief Will Smith got emotional during a press conference after the second night of protests in the city.

Chief Smith said protesters set fire to a few buildings Saturday night, including a multi-family residence that was occupied by a child in the 300 block of West Broad Street.

As fire crews were arriving, Smith says protesters blocked the engine from reaching the fire.

“When you take a legitimate issue and hijack it for unknown reasons, that is unacceptable to me, it’s unacceptable to the Richmond Police Department, unacceptable to the city of Richmond,” said Smith.
