JONESBORO, Ga. — A woman was arrested for making threats against law enforcement on the Internet, WSB-TV reported.
The woman, Latausha Nedd, used an online alias “Eye Empress Sekhmet” and posted videos advocating for “open season on the cracker.” Nedd said, “we want blood for blood” in the video but never directly says to kill cops. Nedd implies law enforcement in the killings as she advocates shooting the ones that are “killing our unarmed men for no reason at all, for petty crimes, or nothing at all, or a traffic stop.”
Nedd lives a mile-and-a-half from the Clayton County police station.
“A lot of people talk on the Internet and on YouTube, but most people don’t make threats against segments of the community,” Police Chief Michael Register told the news site. “It’s also the reaction she solicits or anyone solicits from people who may be listening.”
The FBI, U.S. Marshals Service and a joint terrorism task force assisted the Clayton County police in the Sept. 24 arrest of Nedd.
Nedd spoke to the publication as she was being arrested and asked if her arrest was due to a YouTube video.
“I’ve seen worse on YouTube,” Nedd said in the back of a police cruiser to WSB-TV. “All I said was defend yourself against people who want to kill us. That’s all. I never said anything more than that.”
Nedd was charged with making terroristic threats and transmitting those threats through social media. At a Sept. 25 court hearing, she was denied bond, the publication reported.
