Idaho officers getting death threats after arresting 31 Patriot Front white nationalists near Pride event
Doha Madani and Dennis Romero and Michelle Acevedo - Yesterday 3:09 PM
Idaho police said they've received death threats since arresting 31 men affiliated with white nationalist group Patriot Front near an annual LGBTQ+ event over the weekend.
Coeur d'Alene Police Chief Lee White spoke to reporters Monday, saying that his department has fielded about 149 calls in the aftermath of the arrests. He said about 50 percent of the calls have been praise from the community, who offer their names and express pride in the department.
"And the other 50 percent who are completely anonymous, who want nothing more than to scream and yell at us and use some really choice words offer death threats against myself and other members of the police department merely for doing our jobs," White said. "Those people obviously remain anonymous."
Officers have also received threats of doxxing, a practice in which someone publishes personal information such as phone numbers or addresses online, White said. The majority of the threats being made appear to be from outside the Coeur dAlene community, according to the chief.

(10,170 posts)I dont think the cops have to worry too much. Low life cowards calling anonymously, that would be a typical response. On the other hand some of them probably have assault rifles. It would be good if they could nail a couple of them and get them a time out, In prison.

(66,316 posts)We've already seen definitive proof that when cops are under the threat of death, they fold like a cheap card table. How long before we hear that the charges have been dropped with a very loud, very public "Gracious! Did we do that?"

(128,844 posts)Ignoring these domestic terrorists while chasing after foreign ones instead - fantasizing about foreigners traveling thousands of miles to the U.S. to do what their next door neighbors are doing every single day right in front of the faces. All that does is give tacit approval for their existence.

They'll all against the Police when they're held accountable for their acts.

(6,265 posts)of this country just cannot have it. And I will do and have done everything I can as a senior to let these traitors understand one thing. I fought for one reason among other politically questionable reasons. That's in hindsight. But I did wear the uniform to let people know I fight for freedom for all. And if dangerous clowns such as these so-called patriots with a sneer, should try to attack me because of my leftist politics and more importantly my skin colour THEY ARE MY DOMESTIC enemy. Terrorists if you will and I have no intention of respecting them. They voted for d.trump they are domestic enemies to our centuries-old country.
Even with our very shameful history in certain areas. We are a work unfinished as a democracy and we should be allowed to keep evolving hopefully for a diverse and just society. And not the slavery these types want for millions of Americans.

They may as well just say "I'm an impotent loser, so I'm resorting to letting out my inner self loathing by making crank calls!"
told them this is okay...

"When you see these thugs being thrown into the back of a paddy wagon, you just seen them thrown in, rough. I said, Please dont be too nice." - Trump. To police officers. Suffolk County, NY, 28 July 2017.
The same people who used to mouth: "Support our Troops!" And never did.
