Idaho officers getting death threats after arresting 31 Patriot Front white nationalists near Pride event

Idaho police said they've received death threats since arresting 31 men affiliated with white nationalist group Patriot Front near an annual LGBTQ+ event over the weekend.

Coeur d'Alene Police Chief Lee White spoke to reporters Monday, saying that his department has fielded about 149 calls in the aftermath of the arrests. He said about 50 percent of the calls have been praise from the community, who offer their names and express pride in the department.

"And the other 50 percent — who are completely anonymous, who want nothing more than to scream and yell at us and use some really choice words — offer death threats against myself and other members of the police department merely for doing our jobs," White said. "Those people obviously remain anonymous."

Officers have also received threats of doxxing, a practice in which someone publishes personal information such as phone numbers or addresses online, White said. The majority of the threats being made appear to be from outside the Coeur d’Alene community, according to the chief.

A 911 caller reported seeing a "little army" of people in masks and with shields in a U-Haul truck on Saturday. Responding officers stopped the vehicle about 10 minutes later and 31 people in "similar attire" were arrested, White previously said.

The 911 caller will not be identified.

"Since myself and other members of my agency have been receiving threats, including death threats, I think it appropriate to withhold that person's information," White said.

We always hear of these death threats by the right after a wide variety of incidents. Has anyone noticed that no one ever gets arrested for such violations of the law? If they did, the media would do “breaking news” segments on the arrest 24/7.

In other words, they either make up these threats, or it is leftists making the threats and as soon as the LEO’s track down the offender and find out it is not a “white supremacists”, but instead either a bot, Antifa, or even a media member, the story disappears.

Is there a law against that?

The fbi uses ‘no longer in service’ numbers when they run an op.

Actually, there is a law against people riding in the back of U-Haul vehicles. There is also a law against having the tag of those vehicles covered. However, the cops seem to usually let those fed-looking Proud Boys get in that U-Haul and drive away, after first making sure the media gets a picture of those evil white supremacists who have been terrorising neighborhoods.

Here in Maine, logging accidents causes a lot of guys to be injured or even killed.

I was surprised that commercial fishing is not on your list.

Commercial fishermen have died along the Maine coast for several centuries......weather related incidents, men falling overboard, etc.

Yup. The handle of Idaho has some unique people. I don’t think those who wanted to cause issue would have been detained this limp wristed. Total stage.

Antifa/BLM are shuttled to protests/riots in buses. These "patriots" need to up their game.

wonder if these police could go arrest people who are making threats and intimidating the Supreme Court Justices... This is not right.

They changed the rules for the crab fishermen back in 2006 and since then it has slid down the list dramatically.

Most of the "deadly" part of the job was caused by government regulation.

They changed the rules and while they are taking in more crabs they are doing it over a longer period of time and the number of crabs is actually increasing.

It is really interesting. It went from over seven deaths a year to one death in six years.

Apparently they are lumping fishing under “farming” which is silly because it is a totally different line of work but I did not come up with the list the Bureau of Labor Statistics did.

Now I have to go water the tomatoes and hoe the trout. :)

CDA isn’t N. Idaho. More North of the Pend Orville, PR, Sandpoint, Priest Lake, etc, imo.

..... Wait until you all see what's coming up over the next few months and years!

..... Yup ...... In case you haven't noticed ..... The FBI has been spinning the narrative for the past few years that the GREATEST THREAT to the United States of America is posed by the .... "White Supremacist Nationalists." ...... My guess is that the Alphabet goons have been very busy over the past few years "Grooming" mentally unstable folks by feeding them with racist swill and using the process of suggestion to help Trigger their fragile minds while enabling the means to vent their rage.

....... Outside of Staged events ..... They now have volatile assets that they are wound tightly and ready to be triggered ... and heck .... may have already been triggered in some recent events ...... It's not gonna be pretty Folks ..... Most of these will end up with either the perp taking their own lives or by being terminated by responding officers.

I am LMAO at those officers for being suckers in an FBI scam.

Does that constitute a “death threat”?

I noticed they were absent, too, as are all forms of oilfield work. I also noticed supervisors in more danger than people actually doing the work...?

What's a 'farming supervisor', anyway? IIRC, it was the farmers who were getting hurt.

Charges were not filed for 27 of them. They are now back at their jobs at the FBI field office.
