So this is fun...multiple attempted hacks of my emails, police protection around my home, the threats. But all is well...following the the law, following the process...doing our jobs.

You damn well know these threats are from Trump supporters.

1. People doing this need to be arrested!

2. At what point do these nut bags turn against police?

3. Scarier question.

How far do we trust the police to fulfill their duty?

In answer to your question, I don't think a MAGA fanatic determined to do harm to one or more of the evil Democrats (or Republicans) they perceive as being part of the grand conspiracy would hesitate to attack cops standing in their way. By extension, cops standing in the way of "justice" are "bad guys."

The scarier question for me is how far have white supremist and racists -- and MAGA fanatics -- infiltrated law enforcement?

5. If he is perceived as part of the "grand conspiracy" he is as. . .

. . .much a target as Democratic election officials.

Georgia GOP Election Official Says Questioning Election Results 'Undermines' Democracy

Gabriel Sterling, a Republican who serves as Georgia's voting systems implementation manager, warned that questioning election results and refusing to concede "undermines democracy.". . .

Although Sterling said Trump has a right to continue legal challenges and ask for a further recount, he described criticisms from the White House as "wild mischaracterizations" with "no evidence."

6. Absolutely

7. Meant to note. . .

that I added " ( or Republicans)" to my post.

I don't think a MAGA fanatic determined to do harm to one or more of the evil Democrats (or Republicans) they perceive as being part of the grand conspiracy would hesitate to attack cops standing in their way.

8. It's very scary and I've often wondered the same.

10. That's been my concern as well

How many police officers will turn the other way and let some of these will be allowed to move past them under the disguise that they "somehow slipped past"

9. I'm sure more than a few *are* the police.
