‘Good luck. Your going to need it.’

A group who is extremely critical of police agencies received a message on Wednesday heavy with profanity, defending police and calling police protesters from Ferguson “animals.” In an era of internet anonymity, the message style is unfortunately common; less common is the digital fingerprint on the message that indicates the message originated from the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department. A department representative said it appears to have come from the department and officials are investigating, Liam Dillon reports.

Sheriff Launches Internal Investigation Into Hate Mail Sent to Activist Group

by Liam Dillon

“…the activist group United Against Police Terror – San Diego received a hate email with the subject line: “Fuck You, You Stupid Pieces of Shit.”

You can imagine how the email went from there. It’s not surprising a group critical of the police got the note. The apparent source of the email is. The note came from an IP address that, according to an address locater, is attached to the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department. The group tweeted a picture of the note and the IP address to me.” @SDSheriff sent us hate mail not realizing we can look up their ip add. @SDCityCouncil @p91fun @my2cnz @dillonliam pic.twitter.com/Bq70GmjSOc — UAPTSD (@UAPTSD) September 17, 2015 (CLICK TO ENLARGE)

The tweet has gone viral since then and we will be holding a press conference on Tuesday, September 22nd at 12:00pm noon to respond.
