The San Antonio Observer responded to backlash Sunday by walking back its threat to publish the names and addresses of every police officer in the city.

Stephanie Zarriello, the Observer’s publisher and editor-in-chief, made the strongly worded threat while speaking Saturday at a news conference following the death of Antronie Scott, an unarmed man shot and killed by an SAPD officer, a local Fox affiliate reported.

I wonder if she’ll call the cops when she gets threats.

Addresses of all employees and their families should be published....how’s that media scum?

[freedomjusticeruleoflaw]

-having her home address put out there-

Yep, that usually puts a stop to this personal info publishing nonsense. Too bad she wasn’t bright enough to think that far down the road in the 1st place. That’s what happens when people who should be reporting the news want to BE the news.

Names and Addresses of the editorial board and corporate owners first, if you please.

Stephanie Zarriello, the publisher and editor-in-chief of the San Antonio Observer, said Saturday that the staff of the weekly tabloid “are looking into the future prospects of publicizing the names and the addresses of all San Antonio Police Department officers in order to protect our community.” She said Sunday that the Observer has no plans to follow through with the threat.
