Worried colleagues who overheard the threats alerted the Secret Service.
The D.C. officer has been taken off active duty and given a desk job while the investigation takes place.
Secret Service spokesman Edwin Donovan said the agency was aware of the report and would ‘take appropriate follow-up steps’.

Where’s the part of the article about how the motorcycle cop was treated to numerous rounds of drinks in appreciation of his sentiment?

Well, as usual, the media will try to spin this as a typical right wing, republican malcontent racist.
Any bets that the individual has left wing leanings, as usually is the case?

⅔ of DC po-lice force is black. Any bets her escort entourage is higher? What a coup for the Obama’s, Democrats and racists everywhere if this guy is white. Instead, we hear nothing and he’s simply reassigned.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
If you believe what was “reported” then I got a slightly used bridge that I would like to sell you.
Besides, even if it was true it falls under the old “black on black crime” side of the books so it will not be followed as a story for very long, but only until the last inch of useful political mileage can be squeezed out of it will the story magically disappear like so many others.

[...] FUNNY – Cop in President’s motorcade ‘boasted he’d shoot Michelle Obama and showed other officers the …. Sounds like there’s another part of the story coming: this later part will identify the cop [...]

I wonder why the article used a picture of a white officer on a motorcycle? If race of the individual is in doubt, then why not use a symbol of the police, without a person of any kind? Otherwise it opens the door for every race baiter in the land to broad brush any white person as wanting to assassinate FLOTUS.

Unprecedented sympathy-arousing inflammatory drama just before the election.

If it was a joke, I’m not seeing the funny either.
Since the reportage was so truncated, how does anyone know the conversation wasn’t a ‘if she goes zombie on us’ riff? If that sounds outlandish, forgive me – I’ve been subject to all kinds of hyperbole from the left side lately.

I agree with Annie. The Obama’s are desperate and are willing to lie about anything to keep in power.
Barry, to stroke his narcissism, and Mooch to keep getting tax-payer funded vacations.

It sounds like bullshit to me. “And shows them a picture of the gun”? Duh! What kind of a conversation were these cops having?

This story is complete rubbish.
This group of lowlife thugs are desperate and will say anything to try to get votes.
Don’t believe any of it!

It’s 9 am This investigation should be complete by now. Let’s hear the outcome.
– Cop is a dolt and will be fired.
– It never happened
–Cops were engaged in idle conversation, verbal grabass,one made a comment, and a little nerd ran to his supervisor (soviet style).
– It was contrived to envoke pity for the First Family.
Whatever let’s get it out there before Andrea Mitchell and Lawrence O’Donnell atart harping on it.

The problem turned out to be the cop didn’t have an up to date wookie hunting license.

If, indeed, this is a true story, then that guy is too stupid to have a position of armed authority.

I call bullshit. If he intended to do it, why would he reveal his plan?
And if we was planning to hunting big game, he would have bought a Mooch tag. That’s a big big trophy, what would a license cost, maybe $600?

This was nothing more than sympathy a stunt, undoubtedly fed to the lapdog NBC, to be elevated to a headline worthy threat.
This quote from the Yahoo story:
“Pump the brakes on this one,” a Secret Service official told NBC, saying the agency is not concerned that the remark made by the officer constitutes any kind of actual threat…”
All that matters is the accusation. Truth and facts are irrelevent. The ignorant public (aka Obumphuk voters) only read the headlines, never the actual story.

They show a white cop on a motorcycle. Is the cop who made the comment white? Let’s wait and see.

Um, it seems to me that making even a joking threat against FLOTUS would be grounds for dismissal for someone in the law enforcement line of work, which leads me to wonder about the cop’s ethnicity.
