CHILLING – AT 6:18 A.M. ET:  It's hard to know exactly how serious the threat is, but I hope the NYPD is taking it very seriously.  From the New York Daily News:   

A tattooed gang of militants declared open season on the NYPD in the wake of the Eric Garner grand jury decision, according to a threat police verified Saturday.

Ten Black Guerrilla Family members are “preparing to shoot on duty police officers,” cops said.

The gang, formed in the 1960s in the California prison system, recently surfaced on the East Coast and Maryland, where members are at the heart of a drug-trafficking and corruption probe within the Baltimore prison system.

Members swear allegiance for life and sport “BGF” tattoos, as well as ink depicting a dragon surrounding a prison tower, according to gangs.org.

An undercover NYPD cop learned of the hit put out on officers Friday evening — three days after a Staten Island grand jury decided not to indict Officer Daniel Pantaleo in Garner’s death. Homicide cops confirmed late Saturday night that the gang was gunning for officers.

Union leaders ordered all officers, on duty and off, to take extra precautions.

“Please WEAR your VESTS and carry your firearm off-duty along with additional magazines,” Sergeants Benevolent Association President Ed Mullins said in an alert. “Your priority is to go home at the end of your tour!”

COMMENT:  We can only contemplate the horror of a terror threat like this being carried out.  I believe that threat is increased by the manner in which the president, his attorney general, and the decidedly leftist mayor of New York City have fanned the flames of division during this difficult period.
