“Thus, taking into account that:
a/ the law enforcement agencies and their specific officers very closely follow posts on Facebook, especially critical assessments against them and posts by those who make such assessments;
b/ representatives of the police as well react to some assessments of or information on the behavior of the authorities and their particular agencies, especially law enforcement agencies; and that
c/ those so-called representatives did not react or condemn in any way the post against me a few days ago by a user (it is not clear whether fake or real) threatening to shoot me straight point-blank,
I conclude that:
a/ the user either is representative of law enforcement and especially police agencies, or obviously enjoys their backing;
b/ the law enforcement agencies and the police are backing murder threats against a person criticizing the activity of the authorities, in other words, they are backing criminal offence․․․
After returning to RA, I’ll provide more information on further developments…”
