#OfficerGoFuckYourself has been identified as Lt. Ray Albers, a 20 year law enforcement veteran with the St. Ann police department in Missouri. Mr. Albers was caught on camera brandishing a semi-automatic weapon at protesters in Ferguson, Missouri this week and explicitly threatening to kill at least one of them.

According to Missouri Statute, a terrorist threat is defined as “a threat to cause an incident or condition involving danger to life” with the purpose of “frightening ten or more people” and with reckless disregard of or criminal negligence with regard to the risk of “causing the evacuation, quarantine or closure of any portion of a building, inhabitable structure, place of assembly or facility of transportation.”

Peasants convicted of a terrorist threat in Missouri will be charged with a class A misdemeanor or a class C or D felony, meaning they would face imprisonment for anywhere between a term not to exceed one year (with a class A misdemeanor) and a term not to exceed seven years (with a class C felony).

Unfortunately for the citizens in Missouri, the lieutenant’s actions have been called “inappropriate” (@4:48 in) by Captain Ron Johnson – an odd way to describe a death threat – but there has been no charges filed. St. Ann Police Chief Aaron Jimenez still told the Huffington Post that the raising of Albers’s weapon was justified given the situation. Fortunately, however, we have seen the greatest measure of justice imposed on a cop in recent memory: the subjects of Missouri will not be forced to give him money during his vacation – temporarily, at least. Don’t worry, they will still have to surrender the same amount of money to the police force, but it won’t go to him specifically for the moment. Unless they’ll be forced to pay the damages he would owe in a potential lawsuit, of course.
