What you post on the internet matters, it's not abstract. It reflects who you really are and what you really think. The NYPD and the FBI certainly thought this was the case when they arrested 15 people for making threats against police officers online in December. This man was arrested for an Instagram post six days ago.

They were arrested because the possibility that what they said online and how they might live offline is too dangerous to take a chance—at least for people posting threats against police officers. Apparently, though, the same logic is sometimes thrown out of the window for hate speech and threats made by police officers—as if what they say online exists in a make-believe world that in no way whatsoever reflects how they really feel about people.

Case in point, Detective Bobby Kinch of the Las Vegas police department. In 2013, Kinch, who has openly admitted and defended every word, took to his personal Facebook page to let the world know how he really felt. Including pictures of himself pointing his gun at plates with the face of President Obama, Kinch posted the following message, "Let’s just get this over! Race war, Civil, Revolution? Bring it! I’m about as fed up as a man (American, Christian, White, Heterosexual) can get!"

The acting sergeant suspended Kinch right? Or fired him? Was he jailed for making threats against the president? Nah. None of that. According to the Las Vegas Sun, Kinch's supervisor just asked him to delete the posts. The thing is, though, Kinch's fellow detectives, white and black, were so disturbed that they took their own screenshots and continued to press the case.
