Oceanside, California Police Officer Threatens Triond Writer?!?

I recently published an article about my observations on the overwhelming amount of heavy police officers in Oceanside.  Then I received an angry response in my email inbox from a gentleman (I use the term VERY loosely) who claims he works for the Oceanside police department.  He said that when, not if, but WHEN he finds me, he is going make sure I “get what I deserve!”  To protect myself, I am writing this article for Triond.  This way if the guy IS a police officer and something happens to me, people will be aware of what’s going on.

I didn’t expect to make police officers in Oceanside angry when I pointed out my observations that so many officers there are overweight.  My concern is merely that I fear for peoples’ safety if crimes are being committed and the criminals are able to outrun the police.  I will look into the legality of it, but I plan to return to Oceanside to take pictures of various police officers that I observe so the public can view the pictures and see the extent of the problem.  I’m not talking about one or two random officers out of 10.  I’m seeing over 50% as not just slightly overweight but grossly overweight!  One guy was so large that I would be willing to bet money his uniform is custom made because it is far larger than any standard size.

To the guy claiming to be a police officer there in Oceanside:  Dude, act a little more professional!  If you ARE a police officer, realize that I will not be intimidated by your threats.  I welcome you to track me down and lay your hands on me.  You will not stop me from writing the truth.  If it makes you so angry then maybe you should simply exercise so that you can better protect the citizenry instead of threatening them!  Your little tirade only gives me more to write about and the motivation to go down there and take the pictures needed to prove my point.
