A West Haven woman was arrested Tuesday after she called for violence against a local officer on Facebook and the post was repeatedly shared, police said.
The post was shared numerous times by other Facebook users until someone brought it to the attention of the West Haven Police Department, they said.
“The West Haven Police Department would like to remind residents that true threats, even when made against law enforcement, are outside the realm of First Amendment protection and will be investigated,” police said in a press release.
