Police throughout Texas are on alert after the FBI Anti Terrorism Division issued a bulletin warning that members of the white supremacist Aryan Brotherhood of Texas prison gang may try to enhance their reputation within the gang by murdering Texas police officers.
San Antonio Police Chief Albert Ortiz tells 1200 WOAI news his officers are trained to deal with threats like this.
"Those kind of reports like this one on the Aryan Brotherhood, we should take note, but certainly we're already prepared for that," he said.
Former FBI special agent and terrorism expert Buck Revell says the bulletin points out what it a constant danger for law enforcement.
"The general public seems to believe that all the terrorists are associated with Osama Bin Laden and the Al-Queda," he said. "That is simply not true."
The bulletin takes on added urgency as Chicago police investigate a possible white supremacist connection to the murders this week of the husband and mother of a federal judge in Chicago.
The bulletin warns local police to 'approach Aryan Brotherhood of Texas members very carefully.'
"Although this information is good, the basic training we give our officers teaches them that they should treat everybody as if it were a confrontation," Ortiz said.
The bulletin said the threat is linked to an 'internal struggle within the organization.' It gives no specifics, and there are no reports of any Texas cops being confronted or harmed by ABT members.
Dont know about all Texas cops but know a few around 76834 land.
Best advise I can offer the nut cases is simply this:
Dont even think about it..
This is probably a mistake on the same scale as Saddam's big talk.

A lot of law abiding citizens in Texas are carrying. I suggest they keep an eye on the Troopers.
The aholes wanting to murder them might get more than they bargained for.
I recall a similiar event a large number of years ago.
Some perp killed a Federal Judge in Texas.
Now that will totally and completely Pi$$ off the Feds.
They will use every resource possible to catch you.
Very bad mistake to make.
LOL
I agree, not to smart to mess with the Feds, especially ones in Texas.
They're easy to find and easy to bust.
I grew up in South Texas. It was a well known fact that it was not a good idea to shoot a cop, especially a State Trooper. Suspect had a nasty habit of being killed while resisting arrest. Had some punk shoot a Trooper outside my hometown back in the early 90s. Ron Howard I think it was. Perp was at least smart enough to head for a public place before being apprehended. He's sittin' tight on death row now.
Sounds very similiar to CenTex.
Texas is probly the last place you would pick to go raping, robbing, killin and threatening cops.
This will be settled quick, either Huntsville or Peckerwood Cemetary, but you can betcha it will be settled.
Are you speaking of Woody Harrelson's dad?
Thats the one.
Been awhile and specifics escaped me, but that is the one....
Bad Business
Al Sharpton's gang???
Lots of time I will be found sitting out on the patio sipping on a glass iced tea.
Watch a local cop pass by and he will wave to me, and I will wave back.
Sometimes he might even stop and will pour him a glass and we will talk.
All very friendly and cordial, but we both understand that while he is watching my six I am watching his.
Dont take kindly to someone threatening the cops.
Exactly. These whackjobs have picked the wrong cops in the wrong state.
