Virginia Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin has pardoned a white police officer just days after a judge sentenced him to three years in prison for fatally shooting an unarmed Black man accused of shoplifting two pairs of sunglasses from a shopping mall outside of Washington, D.C. Officer Wesley Shifflett was sentenced on Friday to three years in prison after a jury found him guilty of “reckless handling of a firearm” for chasing 37-year-old Timothy Johnson into a dark, wooded area and firing two bullets at him. Prosecutor Steve Descano condemned Youngkin’s pardon, writing, “Glenn Youngkin has spent the last four years honing his Trump impersonation … This is an insult to all Virginians who value an untainted justice system.”
