Chicagos Top Cop "We'll Shoot Carriers"

Chicago police chief: WE'LL SHOOT LICENSED CIVILIANS WITH GUNS “ Gives you the warm fuzzies don't it? Chicago’s illustrious Police Chief, Superintendent or SuperNintendo ... said that citizens licensed to carry could be, and indeed predicted they would be shot by Chicago Police Officers.   Like that happens in 49 other states (or 56 other states if you listen to Barack Obama).   “I don’t care if they’re licensed legal firearms, people who are not highly trained… putting guns in their hands is a recipe for disaster.

("Political Hyperbole" is not a true threat.) The speaker need not actually intend to carry out the threat. Rather, a prohibition on true threats "protect(s) individuals from the fear of violence" and "from the disruption that fear engenders," in addition to protecting people "from the possibility that the threatened violence will occur."
