Michelle Obama Threat: D.C. Police Officer Allegedly Said He'd Shoot First Lady, Report SaysWASHINGTON -- A District of Columbia police officer has been taken off a motorcycle escort for White House officials after he allegedly said he'd shoot first lady Michelle Obama and "then used his phone to retrieve a picture of the firearm he said he would use," according to The Washington Post.
The Metropolitan Police Deparment is investigating and the Secret Service has been told of the alleged threat, the Post reports:
The motorman allegedly made the comments Wednesday morning
as several officers from the Special Operations Division discussed
threats against President Obama. It was not immediately clear where the
alleged conversation took place or exactly how many officers took part
in the conversation.During that conversation, the officials said, the officer allegedly
said he would shoot the First Lady and then used his phone to retrieve a
picture of the firearm he said he would use. It was not immediately
clear what type of firearm was allegedly shown.An officer overheard the alleged threat and reported it to a police
lieutenant at the Division, who immediately notified superiors, the
officials said.
The officer has been moved to administrative duty as the incident is being investigated, according to the Post.
MPD Chief Cathy Lanier told WRC-TV/NBC4: "There is conflicting information about what the officer said. ... Internal Affairs will get to the bottom of it."
This is a developing story...

Pat 2012/07/13 04:14:10I'm not surprised at how far the hate from the RWNJ has influenced this country!
+30The RWNJs have created an atmosphere of hate in this country that I have never seen in my 60 years. Even on SH there is so much disrespect for the President it's appalling. I don't care if you disagree with the president in everything he says and does, you don't have the right to threaten him or his family by creating an atmosphere of hatred and anger. It could literally lead some nut to cause a national tragedy. Mrs. Obama is a lovely woman with a fine family and she should be able to feel safe while serving this country. This officer should be charged with threatening the First Lady and take his punishment.
I never approved of one policy, decision or piece of legislation that GW advocated for. But hate him? I didn't even know him. In fact I thought he was a pretty nice guy with a lovely wife and two great kids. He was just in way over his head, governed us incompetently and had like minded people around him. But Hate him with the viral ugliness that we've seen the last four years is beyond all reason.
When this President took office, it was decided on Day One of his innauguration that there would be no support or even an attempt to clean up the mess that was largely made by the Republicans. That, is the difference.
Though I was shocked by the anti-Bush hatred, I should admit I am not a Bush's lover either. However, most of his mistakes and cases of mismanagement stemmed from his attempts to appease (or at least not to anger) the left. He never tried hard to push forward the things he promised to conservatives and never ever fought back against the leftist attacks. He proved to be not at all "fiscal conservative", but one should be an android to believe that by quadrippling the Bush's deficite, Obama was "cleaning the mess".
It was just 6 months into his term that 9/11 happened and we forgot that "silly" complaint about how his party with the court at its side, manipulated getting the job when he didn't even have the popular vote.
As far as Bush "appeasing the Left". You've got to be kidding, right? Bush allowed reckless spending and bloated budgets that were sent to him and never, ever picked up the veto pen until the Dems took a small majority in the House in '06 and that was to veto raising minimum wage. He never put that pen down again.
Also, let me remind you: as Dems took both chambers of the congress -the economy went down. I wish Bush was much more decisive in his handling mega-spenders and thieves.
As an aside, the Dems did indeed take the Congress in '06. but you have to remember that the majority was so small that it was impossible to do anything with it but set the budget, launch investigations into the malfeasance and corruption of the Party in power and the President of that time who had never picked up the veto pen thru all the reckless spending and bloated budgets sent to him, found that pen and the first veto he made was to strike out the raise in minimum wage.
You might also remember the country was in emotional turmoil after 2000 and thankfully( (though later regretfully), Gore capitulated. But I happen to believe that we would have never gone to war in Iraq had he prevailed and there would be thousands of lives and thousands more who were forever disabled, would have never happened.
The problem with Dems and any other leftists as I see it is that being the epitome of corruption themselves (because excessIve government/bureacracy power promptas bribery and other kinds of corruption) they are only interested in going after Republican crooks. Even if we assume the Dem-lead congress was not worse than Republican, Bush who failed to fulfil most of his promises to conservative, had obvious reasons to show more teeth than before 2006.
What I (as a recent foreigner) figured out is that the Dem-spread narrative is forrowed from foreign haters. Do you personally blieve that the militant US presidents (and other politaicians) are sources/master minds of the conflicts? Don't you remember how the pacifist Carter promted warmongers' activities? I was there - I witnessed that.
When we were attacked on 9/11, I did not consider myself a Liberal Democrat, I was an American and I would have done anything my President would have asked. He never asked for anything but "how do we tie this attack to Iraq"? He had over a 90% approval rating of our citizens (including my own) and he had the world at his back. He squandered it all and then once he got us to war the corruption and mismanagement of that conflict was mind boggling.
Do I also blame the Dems for getting us into that war? You bet, as well as the media. Because if they had done their homework and not just taken the information cherry-picked by the administration, or worse if one media outlet had raised a red flag, that might have turned out differently.
Obama has never had a chance with the Right. In the past when an election was over, sleeves were rolled up and everyone worked together to do what was good for all Americans, not just the very top. I was there ...

Obama has never had a chance with the Right. In the past when an election was over, sleeves were rolled up and everyone worked together to do what was good for all Americans, not just the very top. I was there thru all of that too. Instead on the very day of his innauguration, republican forces met to discuss how they would make him fail, and it was just too bad if the rest of the country failed too.
You speak in abstract when you belabor the point of how "corrupt" and dishonest the Dems are. They all come out of the same kettle, its just that we on the Left find hypocrisy, corruption, and malfeasance much more prevalent on the Right. I've been there for most of that too.
Bush was not very competent, but he was not as near destructive as Obama is. I also wish Obama fail – in all bad things he has been doing, whether intentionally or not. .
I agree with you about the “same kettle”, but the difference is nowadays the left are allowed too much by the friendly would be “debunkers”, Just look at all free passes Obama had – no vetting, no scrutiny, no hard questions from the MSM. That corrupts badly, the left should be deprived of the shield they have been protected from the public scrutiny. .
Bush was a Governor in a very large state - and enjoyed bipartisan support over there. That means he is not that much incompetent executive. On the contrary, Obama never worked a day for life - and I have heard the Komsomol leader attitude in almost every word he pronounced since the day one of his 2007-2008 campaign.
Its unfair to say that the President "never worked a day in his life", just like it might be unfair to say that Romney never did either....at least where he came in contact with a worker who didn't have a silver spoon hanging out of his mouth.
It is fair to say, because managerial job is still a job, whil Obama never worked - and I challenge you on that, BTW, where the Obama's silver spoons came right after his teenage period?
I personally believe that all he was handed, this President has managed very well considering he got no support from those who largely made the mess in the first place. Mistakes made? Certainly, but in spite of it all, (fillibustering, stonewalling, determination to make him fail from Day One), he still accomplished more for the Middle Class in his first term than Bush ever did in two.
Every single initiative, policy, legislation that he proposed was fillibustered, obstructed and said 'no' to but in spite of that the bleeding of 750k jobs a month stopped, taxes were lowered on the small businessman, and after 6 decades, the beginning of getting a handle on obscene health care costs are being addressed. You can deny it, spin it, trash it all you care to, it doesn't matter. He still even brought your arse back from that cliff we were all hanging onto by a thread.
In this state of mind, you would forget that there is no subjunctive mood in history as in any science – and you swallow the “would be worst recession” talking points. as if they were proven facts. This current crisis was not caused by the lack of resources but by the lack of confidence within both economy subjects and consumers.
“Every single initiative, policy, legislation that he proposed” was destroying the market participants confidence and ruined the economy as such (or at least postponed the recovery). If you were not a religiously blinded zealot, you’d have recognized that.
Come back when you have grown up and can with maturity give your opinion and accept others who might have the unmitigated nerve to have a different one from you.
Sorry, I was supposed to stay cool, but I cannot. “Great comrade Stalin, Lenin, Brezhnev, Castro, Obama, whatever – these are all attributes of the same disaster I hoped I escaped forever. Bush had a few supporters; many of them changed their minds layer, because they were rational. Obama has worshippers who never respond to any logic. Sorry, again, I thought you are different.
People I have known for years, who I always considered good friends, came out of the closet, so to speak, or crawled out from under their rocks rather..... when Obama won the presidency. I never had any idea these people were such ugly vile blatant racists. I truly mean this. And these were people I really thought I knew well!
I fear these home grown terrorist-wannabe, treasonous, freedom hating idiots more than foreign ones at this point... If you do not like the candidate the people have chosen, tough cookies. Welcome to a democratic republic where we like freedom. Much braver men than we fought and died for our right to vote. Our only "true" power. Try to take that away, and you will be dealt with swiftly.
This asshat was just talking out of his rectum, but the sentiment is palpable, disgraceful and embarrassing. I'm glad he was shoved behind a desk.
