The publisher of a Texas tabloid dropped any potential plans to publish the names and addresses of San Antonino police officers after receiving death threats from around the country, reports News4SA. On Saturday, San Antonio Observer publisher and editor in chief Stephanie Zarriello said her paper was “looking into the future prospects of publicizing the names and the addresses of all San Antonio Police Department officers in order to protect our community.” Zarriello’s threat came in the wake of the shooting death of 36-year-old Antronie Scott, killed by a police undercover officer who thought Scott had a gun in his hand that turned out to be a cell phone. Scott was unarmed. According to Zarriello, too often police officers go unpunished because they are allowed to remain anonymous. She then compared them to the Ku Klux Klan. “Like Ku Klux Klansman with hoods, (officers) do everything they can in order to protect their identities for fear of being brought to justice,” Zarriello said in a press conference, adding, “Just as the names and addresses of sex offenders are publicized in order to protect the public from their wicked behavior, we feel that our community has the right to the exact same level of protection.” Sunday, Zarriello said that the paper dropped the idea after being flooded with calls from as far away as California and Florida — including death threats — after it was reported nationally that paper was publishing the information. Word also spread through social media, with some suggesting Zarriello’s personal information should be made public. She stated that the paper had no plans to follow through with the threat and that she only hoped to “make an officer think twice before shooting so fast and killing an unarmed person.” Watch video below of initial announcement by Observer publisher Stephanie Zarriello via News4SA:

I wonder whom the death threats are coming from? The heroes themselves? Or their worshipers?
I'd bet on the first but who knows.
Umm.....Antronie Scott was not a model citizen: http://www.foxnews.com/us/2016/02/07/texas-newspaper-plans-to-publish-names- addresses-police-officers.html "On Feb. 4, undercover officers were following Scott, 36, who was wanted for felony warrants, said San Antonio Police Department Chief William McManus, KENS 5 reported. As Scott exited his white Mercedes, an officer reportedly told him to show his hands. When Scott quickly turned around, an officer fired one shot, striking Scott in the chest and killing him, McManus told the station. McManus reportedly said the investigation to date has revealed that Scott was not armed and was holding a cellphone when the officer fired his weapon." That's felony warrants for FIREARMS and DRUGS. Good riddance to Antronie Scott, he was dirt.....don't believe everything you read in a sleazy community (SA Observer) rag with an axe to grind.

Even CBS News tells the whole truth: http://www.cbsnews.com/news/antroine-scott-shooting-san-antonio-tabloid-publish- all-cops-addresses/ "The 36-year-old was fatally shot at a north San Antonio apartment complex by officers trying to serve two felony weapons and drug warrants for his arrest Thursday evening. At a news conference Friday, Police Chief William McManus said Officer John Lee approached the suspect as he stepped from a car and told Scott to raise his hands. McManus says Scott spun quickly with something in his hand. Lee, fearing for his life, shot him in the upper torso. Scott died where he fell."

Uhhh, the PD knows their identity. Does "justice" mean mob violence now? “Like Ku Klux Klansman with hoods, (officers) do everything they can in order to protect their identities for fear of being brought to justice,”

two non crimes serve two felony weapons and drug warrants for his arrest

Why do you think publishing the killer's name would result in mob violence? A little non-violent correction from the community would benefit all cops. hhh, the PD knows their identity. Does "justice" mean mob violence now?

Wow. Just, wow.........you're just like those idiots in New York who published the names and addresses of all the gun owners. So if a cop arrests a gang of drug pukes, and they send the rest of the gang over to burn his house down, and kill his family, that's what they want? You're good with that?? Jew much?? A little non-violent correction from the community would benefit all cops.

I've seen the sort of people who protest when a cop shoots a thug. Why do you think publishing the killer's name would result in mob violence? A little non-violent correction from the community would benefit all cops.

If buying, selling and ingesting drugs were not illegal, they problem wouldn't exist.

I've seen the sort of people who protest when a cop shoots a thug. Most of the time these shootings are not in self-defense. Therefore, they should be protested.

And Trayvon Martin was a good boy....... If buying, selling and ingesting drugs were not illegal, they problem wouldn't exist.

Trayvon should have been able to smoke all the weed he wanted without hindrance. But that wasn't the problem, was it.

The problem with Antronie Scott was that he had TWO FELONY WARRANTS for his arrest and didn't turn himself in with his attorney representing him. No, he was on the run, THAT was his problem, and he would be alive if he had Done The Right Thing. You're old enough and presumably smart enough to know that one does not blow off FELONY WARRANTS and keep running around the 'hood like an oblivious idiot. But that wasn't the problem, was it.

Before you turn yourself in on a felony warrant, you have to be served. Maybe that's what the policemen were trying to do.
