About these people openly making threats against police....

If you or I told someone or a group of people that we planned on killing them, we would go to jail! I went to jail once because I threatened to kick my neighbors ass because he kept throwing his lawn clipping over my fence. Stupid I know, but I was young once. It was listed as "harassment in a threating manor", I don't remember the actual charge. I pretty much had to say sorry go to an anger management class, but still!

What is the difference?


One piece of info I found on the subject..

...Even though the Constitution guarantees the right of free speech, that right is not an absolute one. The law has long recognized specific limitations when it comes to speech, such as prohibitions against slander and libel. In some situations, speech can even constitute a crime, such as in the case of criminal threats. A criminal threat, sometimes known as the terrorist threat, malicious harassment, or by other terms, occurs when someone threatens to kill or physically harm someone else.

There are dozens of sites on this matter.

I just don't see how these people are still walking the streets....
