Robert Ike Jr for Chesapeake City Council

I love Chesapeake, Virginia. We are a treasure of superlative schools, innovative economic initiatives and natural parks and trails of exceptional beauty. We are also one of the top financially strong cities in America. In contrast, the rest of our country is spiraling into a depth of excessive spending and big government. We do not want that to happen here…not in our Chesapeake! For this reason, I am running for re-election for Chesapeake City Council.

I humbly ask for your support. Please continue to give me the opportunity to make the best decisions for a Chesapeake that is strong today and Stronger Tomorrow!

Robert Ike Jr.

I Visited the American Police Hall of Fame and Museum in Coco Beach Florida yesterday. All of the Peace Officers whose names are on these walls made the untimate sacrifice for their communities.

If you hadn't noticed, laying at the base of these walls, are small momentos from family and friends expressing the grief and pain in their hearts for the senseless loss of their loved ones.

Most were senselessly killed by lawless, evil people with no regard for human life, some were killed in tragic accidents.

I have carried a badge and gun for over 40 years starting with my oath to serve and protect as an 18 year old USAF Military Policeman. I knew the risk and accepted it.

I believe that Peace Officers are born, not made. If you don't have that sheepdog DNA in your soul from a very young age, that gnawing need to protect the innocent and rid your community of bad and evil people, then you are not Peace Officer material, go be an electrician or a pharmacist.

Bad cops? Yes, some get past the many tests, background checks and interviews before they start the Police Academy, but most are weeded out during those tough 26 weeks. Those that still slip through will soon be discovered and booted from our ranks. We are a tough bunch and don't tolerate anyone's misconduct tarnishing The Badge.

Not sure where all this is going but I know one thing.... in 40 years as a Police Officer I would have never been in a single fight if the person had just complied when I said these 4 words...

"You are under arrest"

We should be teaching our young people that once they hear those 4 words, the fight is now in the court system. You will immediately be taken before a Magistrate who will hear the officers evidence and may or may not issue an arrest warrant. If he does, you will have your day in court.

We should be teaching our young people that if they think the officer was wrong, they should file a complaint with the Departments Internal Affairs Division.

We should be teaching our young people that it is not ok to put their hands on a Police Officer. They need to know that act will cause them to have a very bad day.

For those of you who are religious leaders please pray and preach on Roman's 13:1-5.

To my brothers and sisters in Law Enforcement, be safe and watch eachothers backs. And above all, if you see another officer do something that is wrong... ACT! Stop the behavior or report it. We need to keep our ranks free from those who aren't worthy to wear The Badge.

Stay frosty.. ...

A big, heartfelt thank you to everyone who voted for me yesterday! This was the strangest election I have ever been involved with! Covid-19 had all of us quarantining so no public forums were held, no door knocking or public speaking! I'm amazed that so many people turned out to vote in person and how high the absentee vote count was... 15K! WOW!

There were so many people helping me behind the scenes I won't list them here because I know I will miss someone, but they know who they are and know how much I appreciate all of them! The sign team, my social media crew, my strategy partners and my cheerleaders! None of this would have been possible without all of you working together!

I am looking forward to four more years of working to better our great city and stand ready to help anyone who needs it!

Thank you all so much!
