Full title:

Threats to CT Police Escalate Following CT Cop’s Gun Confiscation Comments – Cops Ask Pro-Gun Veteran to Help Cool Things Down

According to Cinque, Officer Joseph Peterson, who made comments in interaction on Facebook while off duty that he would "give my left nut to bang down your door and come for your gun…" has been placed on 24-hour guard due to threats on his life. This information came directly from Police Chief Kevin Halloran.

Mr. Cinque told us that he had a two and a half hour "sit down" with the Branford Police Department on Tuesday. He said that the Branford PD was supposed to come out with an apology for Peterson's comments and wanted Cinque's endorsement of the apology in an attempt to cool things down.

"The first words out of the police chief's mouth… were 'How can you help us with this?'" Cinque said. "They're getting killed over there. They said they can do nothing but deal with this."

Cinque's endorsement would not be automatic. "There are some things here that need to be addressed before I endorse the apology," he said. "Don't make the apology to me. The apology has to be to the residents of Branford and to the citizens of the State of Connecticut."

"If we are looking to tamp this thing down…none of us need violence here," Cinque continued.

"We're winning this thing; we're winning this thing hard here," Cinque said, referring to the efforts to ignore unconstitutional and unlawful legislation that seeks to have citizens register their semi-automatic rifles and high capacity magazines.

"That's the last thing we need," he added, referring to violence.

I am not in favor of painting all of law enforcement as evil,

We aren't. The policemen are. Their actions are simply reported and posted here on FR.

If you are so certain that “most” cops are good, where the hell are they?! Where are the “good” cops denouncing that asshole in CT? Where are the “good” cops demanding his resignation or termination for this? I see none. Zero. Maybe when all of these “good” cops clean up their own back yard, people will start cutting them some slack. Until then, and only then, anyone making excuses for them can go pound sand.

And you sir, do not sound as if you are disposed to civil discourse. I told you the two organizations you can contact.

I don't make excuses for anyone. After carrying a rifle for 20 years for this country, I don't feel I am obliged to.

Thanks for your resume...like many things internet, there is no way of knowing about your purported qualifications. No matter. And you have *no* idea who you are talking to, or their involvement in issues in their locale or community. I believe you used the word *hyperbole*...that and **whinny-ass charges** goes both ways. ;)

And who are these *sheriffs* you speak about? What is a sheriff, in the context you keep using the word?
[Sheriffs here, transport prisoners; marshals deliver court papers]

The ideas you express are not without merit. I’m glad you choose to adopt them with a like-minded cohorts.
When or where has your militia group come into another state and produced a reversal in the way a court/judge has ruled and reversed statism? I was unable to find any annotated victories.

Ideas are the furniture of our great country, without them they can’t be used. The notion that we should *educate* rogue cops is on face value, specious at best. Do they not take an oath? The elephant-in-the-room remains that Rogue cops know their unions will back them up; Rogue cops know progressive judges will rule in their favor. Your prerogative...educate/coddle them all you want. Your choice. My **Thanks for your resume...like many things internet, there is no way of knowing about your purported qualifications. No matter.

**Mr Cinque showed us a great, practical model in which to do so....** - In context, Cinque was at a town meeting confronting state reps about how they voted for the controversial gun legislation ....even Machiavelli couldn’t predict the uproar that followed with the cop’s outrageous rogue Facebook statement.
