"A Shelby County Commissioner said she wants legal action after years of harassment from white supremacists. For almost four years, Shelby County Commissioner Tami Sawyer says she’s been harassed by George Johnson of Mississippi. He is believed to be a member of a group called Confederate 901. He was also caught on camera yelling profanities at Sawyer while waving a Confederate flag during the removal of the remains of Confederate leader Nathan Bedford Forrest -- Sawyer said. “He told me he would beat my behind.” Sawyer says Johnson was charged with assault, which is a case she was willing to let be dismissed in court Monday until new threats surfaced.
“This past weekend, I received an inbox with video and photo proof of George Johnson and his friends inciting people to send me harmful messages,” Sawyer said. Sawyer also said that one of the messages read “mail me cotton so that I can know who really runs this country -- [he continues]-- ‘Memphis watch out. Y’all got something coming to you after Jan. 24’ pretty much retaliate on either me or the city,” Sawyer said.” She plans to file a police report and contact the FBI because she said the new threats should be taken seriously."
Luckily, the FBI declined to take action against Mr. Cooper and why should they?? He is more than free to use his first amendment rights to give that uppity county commissioner a piece of his mind...It seems this is nothing more than Democrat on Democrat crime to me...seeing as tho Mrs Sawyer is a Democrat and Cooper is most likely a Democrat....because anyone walking around with a confederate flag, making threats against people because he is butthurt about Nathan Forrest's grave being moved is an obvious Democrat... my advice to Mrs. Sawyer, toughen up....if you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen.....If someone really wanted something to happen to you, it would have happened already.....the guy is just blowing off steam...relax...
