Meet Jaleel Tariq Abdul-Jabbaar, a 46-year-old man from Kirkland, Wash. who the Feds arrested yesterday on charges of making death threats against former Ferguson Police Office Darren Wilson:

From the Reuters piece above:
[Abdul-Jabbaar] is accused of posting a string of threats to his personal Facebook page targeting police officers, specifically Wilson. The criminal complaint quoted one of the postings as saying: “We the oppressed people need to kill this white cop.”
In another posting, he wrote: “We MUST arm ourselves against the white oppressors who wear guns and badges,” the complaint said.
Federal officials said Abdul-Jabbaar began making threats shortly after the Aug. 9 shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, an incident that touched off weeks of angry protests in the St. Louis suburb and calls for Wilson’s arrest.
Abdul-Jabbaar’s arrest, however, is not going over well with some of those angry that Wilson was not indicted in the shooting death of Michael Brown:
No action for REALLY killing a man? “@stopbeingfamous: Jaleel Tariq Abdul-Jabbaar, 46,Washington arrested for threat to kill Darren Wilson.”

And here comes the if he were white argument:
What Jaleel Tariq Abdul-Jabbaar said was horrible and he should be arrested, but if he were white Fox News would be hailing him as a patriot

The difference between what Jaleel Tariq Abdul-Jabbaar said and Cliven Bundy is that Jabbaar didn't actually point guns at law enforcement.

NBC reported that Abdul-Jabbar also tried to use Facebook to buy a gun:
Prosecutors also allege that Abdul-Jabbaar used Facebook to attempt to acquire a firearm, asking an unidentified person in October to “hook a ninja up on the connect.” After Wilson was not indicted, Abdul-Jabbar allegedly messaged the same person that it was “Time to kill a cop.”
Isn’t his arrest exactly the kind of arrest libs want the Feds to be making?
