Jeremiah Perez; Vets Hunting Cops

According to KRDO, this fellow, Jeremiah Perez, has been posting threatening comments on the internet towards police officers, calling himself Vets Hunting Cops as a screen name;

On Dec. 17, Google contacted the FBI after seeing a comment on a YouTube post that said, “”SINCE DARREN WILSON our group has killed 6 retired sheriffs and cops……because of this event we will hunt two more in colorado this week…..for every innocent citizen that cops kill WE, VETERANS WILL KILL RETIRED HELPLESS COPS.” The threat further said, “COPS ARE THE REAL ENEMIES OF FREEDOM LOVING AMERICANS and TIME TO STRIKE BACK IN ALL OUT WAR IS NOW.”

The FBI began investigating the user, “Vets Hunting Cops.” Agents traced the post to an IP address in Colorado Springs and began surveillance, the U.S. District Attorney’s office said.

So, Perez has been arrested, as evidenced by the mug shot above. The affidavit filed by the US District Attorney claims that Perez was in the military, but it doesn’t mention which branch of service…not hard to figure out since he lives in Colorado Springs. But they also say that he was punished by the military before he left the service and he claims that he’s had some run ins with the police.

FBI agents seized his computer. Perez’ recent searches include: “Kill Sara Palin,” “Kill Barack Obama,” “Kill Mitch McConnell,” “Calls to Assassinate GOP Leaders” and “Someone Kill Fox News.” He also looked up Beaver Creek City Police Department and the address for Fox News Headquarters.

From “Smoking Gun“;

Perez said that he posed as “Vets Hunting Cops” since he “realized that other groups, such as the Ku Klux Klan, offer legitimacy to their arguments be being part of a large organization.” Along with threats directed at law enforcement, Perez allegedly wrote that he “cant wait to kill you fake patriots on the right.”

A real rocket surgeon. At least he’s off the street. There are two Jeremiah Perez in AKO, but neither are this guy. He faces five years in a federal pen and a quarter-million-dollar fine, according to KKTV.
