One day after a Montgomery County judge ordered tree-sitters to come down from where they had been blocking work on a natural gas pipeline, or be taken down by authorities, a lieutenant colonel with the Virginia State Police reached out to a colleague.
Removing the protesters âhas the potential to be complicated and messy,â Matthew Hanley wrote in an email to Lt. John Noel of the state policeâs Salem division.
