I don't believe that the officer has been threatened. I think that's made up or an exaggeration by the police. All the remarks I've read have been conditional, IF this, THEN that. Such a remark is not a threat.
So, even more to your observation, the police are selective in who they protect, and why they offer their services on the taxpayer's dime. They protect their own. The rest of us are on our own.
One thing is that it was said that Cinque [our folk hero in this story] *knew* Peterson [dumb facebook cop] ....from some waybackintheday scenario. I’m curious to know how friendly they were. Could be from small town stuff and Cinque being a firefighter and Peterson being a LEO.
Exactly.
I live in Branford. I am very confident the threats are real. There is a LOT of anger towards this guy, and I don’t see any way he could ever be a cop in this town ever again.
