The building is named after Police Chief Robert E. Lee and you are saying that the building should not be named after Police Chief Robert E. Lee.  That is, absolutely "denying something" for Police Chief Robert E. Lee.   Claiming otherwise has no basis in logic or language usage.   Even for you, that is remarkable.   You are saying Police Chief Robert E. Lee's memory  as a public servant should be erased because he has the same name as someone you despise.   Perhaps you have heard the saying, "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but naming a Police Department Headquarters Building after a Chief of Police will never harm me."
