Food for thought: One cop hater posts this phrase as a threat then carries it out and executes two random police officers and himself. In retrospect, we read it and it was a portend of things to come - a premeditated double murder-suicide. Lives are taken, families are ruined, people are outraged, the civil unrest continues, and LE is now on even higher alert.
Another guy who obviously hates cops, too, posts the same thing within days of this tragedy, in this very real climate of retaliatory violence, and we (ppl) automatically assume something completely different. Why? Because he's "white" (ugh, hate that label)? Because he looks like a douche (and may well be)? Because his FB is douchey? Because surely this guy has got to be joking, unlike the other guy? Lightening can't strike twice, right?
Nah, if some other guy posts the same thing it isn't a real threat, he's just fronting to look cool. This guy, or any of the 10,000 other cop haters who've adopted this phrase and posted the same thing on various social media and haven't been busted yet aren't really serious; they can't be, can they?
It's a pretty safe bet this is the same type of denial those who read the cop killer's last post thought right before he left to make good on his catchy, little phrase and destroy lives.
There's no way in the world the Thought Police can investigate and control every person who says, chants or posts this phrase, nor should they, IMO. Is it likely this dork was actually making a legit threat he was planning to carry out as opposed to posting it on his FB to look like a cool, "cop killa"? Not IMO, but if DD, other TC venues, my career, and life have taught me anything, it's that nothing is impossible, and, like the shitbag who carried out this phrase as a valid threat, always expect the unexpected.
Trying to control the fallout from this latest example of "protest" bullshit is like pushing shit against the tide, and yes, I do believe it's a violation of the First Amendment as it is currently interpreted, however, legally, esp. post 9/11, it can still be (and apparently is) considered a chargeable offense/terroristic threat. Contrarily, threats the same and much worse than this in the music world, which reach untold millions more people, are protected and called, "artful expression."
Are all the cop haters and wannabes who adopt the dead asshole's saying going to go out and kill a cop or two or nine? Logic, common sense and the odds tell me no. But, when it comes to societal attitudes about things like this, Ferguson and the fallout still going on from that whole mess and others, showed us being too flip about this shit as individuals can not only turn around and bite us in the ass, it already has. JMO. YMMV.
