None Dare Call It Treason: New American Terrorism: Threats Against POTUS
There won’t be any prosecution of a Washington DC police officer who threatened the life of first lady Michelle Obama. The officer, who has not yet been identified, had his case dismissed by a judge this week and won’t be facing charges. The officer was accused of making remarks toward the first lady that were considered to be a threat to national security, according to the Secret Service.
Secret Service spokesman Edwin Donovan confirmed the comments made on WTOP’s “Ask the Chief” program by DC Police Chief Cathy Lanier. Lanier says that the issue is now considered to be an “administrative investigation,” within the police department.
D.C. police spokesman Paul Metcalf said that the goal now is to “determine if any department policy or procedures have been violated.” Cop Who Threatened Mrs. Obama Won’t Be Prosecuted
Ohio teen, Alyssa Douglas, took to her Twitter account during President Obama’s DNC speech, calling for his assassination and referring to him as “piece of sh*t.” The teen’s tweets instantly drew criticism from her followers, as students retweeted — meaning they shared her message on their Twitter account — the message and criticized her for posting it. One Twitter user asked the teen, “What is wrong with you that you have so much hatred so early? You need help.” Another Twitter user called for the teen’s arrest saying, “Arrest this lunatic like ASAP. Have fun in jail Alyssa RT.”
The teen’s tweet prompted the Clinton Massie School District, where Douglas is a high school student, to have a meeting with Douglas and her parents. The Secret Service is also investigating the threat, and the findings will be reported to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for Southern District of Ohio.
