North Miami Beach Police Threaten Local Blogger For Daring To Speak Against Them

(WSVN)   A South Florida blogger is accusing a police department of sending out a menacing message.

On Tuesday, Stephanie Kinzle, spoke out about the email. “He says: ‘to all the criminals, come and get them,’ something like that, I’m paraphrasing, and ‘it only takes one bullet’ … I was nervous, I was mad. This is a threat,” she said.

She said the threat was directed at two people who speak out often and who both agreed there should be cuts at the North Miami Beach Police Department.

Kinzle runs a blog that is highly entrenched in North Miami Beach politics. It is called “Voters Opinion.” Lately, all anyone is talking about is the budget and the proposed cuts of at least 17 North Miami Beach Police officers.

She said she does not know if the writer of the email is male or female or an officer but believes they work inside the police department. “Because my webmaster did a search, and I understand these searches can be made by anybody, and the IP address came right from a North Miami Beach Police Department website or computer,” Kinzle said.

Several days ago, Kinzle said, she received the email, which she did not publish, which lists the home addresses of two outspoken critics of the police department. “Criminals here it is … Have fun…” the email reads. “We love our police department,” she said, “don’t get me wrong, but ever since this budget process started, they’ve been unbelievably childish, nasty, rude.”

There are not only allegations of threats but racism. The writer of the email called one of the residents and critics of the police department of German heritage a Nazi and the other critic of the police department, who happens to be a muslim, “al jazerri.” Kinzle said, “That’s a hate crime, that’s racist, in my opinion.”

Police have said they are looking into it and have launched an internal affairs investigation, and they could not comment any further.
