The NYPD is investigating an apparent Occupy Wall Street protester who made threats on Twitter Saturday about killing cops.
We wont make a difference if we dont kill a cop or 2, someone with the Twitter handle Smackema1 posted at about 11:40 p.m. to Ustream, which showed footage of the Zuccotti Park protests in Manhattan.
There is no name or any other identifying information linked to the Twitter account, but the NYPD is seeking a subpoena to run it down, said spokesman Paul Browne. Police are separately checking telephone threats made to two cops and their families on Saturday, Browne added.
In all, 73 demonstrators were arrested Saturday and yesterday, including two for assaulting cops, police said.
Christopher Geist, 38, allegedly squeezed a cops crotch and tried to steal his gun. Cecily McMillan, 23, allegedly elbowed an officer in the eye after she was treated at New York Downtown Hospital for a seizure. She was then taken to Bellevue Hospital for a psychiatric evaluation.
