Cop Removed for Making Death Threat

Pointed gun at Ferguson group.

A police officer was suspended indefinitely after he pointed his gun at a group documenting events in Ferguson, Missouri and declared “I will fucking kill you.” The St. Ann police officer was on duty in Ferguson when he was caught on tape. He was removed after the ACLU sent a letter to the Missouri State Highway Patrol. On the tape, the officer is shown raising his gun as he approaches the group. “My hands are up bro, my hands are up,” says a livestreamer known as “Rebelutionary Z” in the video. The unnamed cop responds, "I will fucking kill you. Get back! Get back!” A spokesman for the St. Louis County Police Department said in a statement that the cop's actions were "inappropriate" and "not indicative of the officers who have worked daily, to keep the peace."
