Small groups now canvassing LEOs' neighborhoods,
'threatening to burn down our homes and kill our families'
2020-06-02
[Law Enforcement Today] WASHINGTON D.C. – Law enforcement officials from across the country have reached out to Law Enforcement Today asking us to warn police across America about a potential threat.

And since dropping the article on Monday morning, we’ve received word from numerous people letting us know they’ve seen similar suspicious activity in their communities.

We’ve spoken with countless officers in the past 12 hours from across the country – all of whom have reported that their departments have made internal changes over the past few days to ensure both the on-duty and off-duty safety of their officers.

Transparently – our team debated internally whether or not to cover this story. We are America’s largest law enforcement owned and operated media outlet, and we are unapologetically pro-police.

Although we don’t hesitate to call out and provide media coverage of bad apples, our priority is in giving the voice to law enforcement that they’re often denied in the mainstream media.

The last thing we want to do is put officers at risk by giving bad people ideas.

But soon after this threat started spreading like wildfire online, we had law enforcement from across the country reach out. They pointed out that the threat is already circulating.

Many have asked us to address it so that departments are aware of it and can take precautions to make changes, if they deem it necessary – especially given how quickly it’s circulating.

#9  My roommate's a cop; he occasionally parks a cruiser in the driveway for various lengths. If I ever see this happening, it's time to dance.

#8  Antifa just replaced the 1900s KKK as the brownshirt arm of the Democratic Party.

#7  #5 It's starting. They're finally beginning to show evidence of a coherent strategy of subversion.

IOW This has gone way beyond / has nothing to do with Floyd's death.

This is more evidence of Antifa/BLM coordination at work. Scrutinize their Twitter and Reddit posts and you'll see them coordinating efforts to take this to residential neighborhoods in the suburbs.

The goal is to destroy the authority of the police and with it, the citizenry's confidence in local government.

#5  In ElDorado Hills. CA, a local reported that about 20 cars drove up to an upscale neighborhood called Lake Forest , parked and about 30+ blacks walked slowly through the neighborhood waving and taking pictures. Earlier in the week a social media posting talked about going out to that area by name to take the demonstration to their “hoods”. Pure demonstration of intimidation and threats. The guy took pictures of the arrogant bastards waving and laughing as they walk up the residential streets.

#3  #2 They're counting on normies and conservatives to quietly cooperate and go like good little sheep to the slaughter.

Has anything happened to disabuse them of that notion?

One thing we're learning from the last few months is that it's much easier to enforce the law on the law-abiding.

And the police, like all collective bodies, will follow the path of least resistance.

Which, in their case, means cracking down on the non-left and kneeling to the left.

Also, if people start successfully protecting themselves, it might make folks wonder why we're paying for "protection" that never comes and gold-plated pensions.

And our "civil servants" simply can't abide that.

So I wouldn't take too much comfort in how supine they've been.

It's not us they're afraid of.

#2  Tell me again how they 'authorities' are going to use LEO to collect your guns under a local 2d Amendment suppression declaration? Fundamental problem is that they have to go home in the end of shift in the community. Not really a good idea to let them take the cruiser home at night to park it.
