Colorado man arrested for commenting on Youtube

In the state of Colorado, USA, the FBI arrested a person for a comment he left on YouTube. The comments contained threats against the police. After December 17, Google employees reported about it to the FBI, the service calculated the comment sender's ip, which turned out to be a resident of Colorado Springs, 33-year-old Jeremiah Perez. In the case of a trial, Peres could face up to 5 years in prison. Perez himself has already admitted that he posted this comment.

The post was provoked by riots related to the sensational murder of Michael Brown , a black teenager from Missouri, who was shot by the police in August. In the commentary under the name "Vets Hunting Cops" Perez wrote that "their group has already killed six useless retired police officers and is going to kill two more in Colorado this week." "We, veterans, will kill policemen for every innocently killed citizen." As the representative of the US federal prosecutor said : “Perez knew that the police would see his record and it was his intention to scare the servants of the law. Seeming anonymity on the Internet will not shield those who support violence. ”

The death of a black teenager from a police officer’s bullet during the execution gave rise to widespread unrest and protests on racial grounds in the United States. A few days ago, a black American killed two policemen, and on December 24th another black teenager was killed by police at a St. Louis gas station.
