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.
RWNJ are out there working in several positions of trust ... hey remember the leaders of the Klan ran the police department in the south ... I am so happy this incident have been reported ... and the officer needs to be fired.
i'm withholding judgment until more facts come out....if they ever do.
We don't know who or how many were around the "officer"... and how many can or will validate the alleged remarks.
he made a very clear threat against the First Lady. he was very specific.
and he has been moved to administrative duty? seriously? why hasn't he been detained and questioned? why is he walking the streets of the city where his intended victim lives?
Talk about a quick easy way to ruin one's own career.
Unfortunately for this guy there are certain places or people you never ever joke about. (try joking about a bomb in an airport security line.) It just. isn't. done. Making even joking threats against the first family is something that can't just be blown off as a joke, Any cop should know that, especially one on special detail to the first family! Stupid stupid stupid!
Edited for grammar
"according to several police officials."
"The police department’s Internal Affairs Division is investigating the alleged comments and notified the U.S. Secret Service Wednesday, said the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to give details of the investigation. "
