Former cop Doug Humphrey, left, made a more direct threat on Facebook than Charles Dirosa, but guess who is facing criminal charges?

In Massachusetts, the Chicopee Police Department decided within hours it would seek criminal charges against a man named Charles Dirosa for posting a Facebook status that read "Put Wings on Pigs.” a reference to the statement made on social media by the man who killed the two NYPD cops this month.

Chicopee police announced the news on their Facebook page as a way to warn other citizens not to make threats against cops.

But then a former cop named Doug Humphrey left a comment on their Facebook page, encouraging police to kill Dirosa.

“"For any of my law enforcement friends who may not have seen this if this asshole approaches you kill him dead..." Humphrey wrote.

Six days later, police have yet to charge him.

Granted, Humphrey lives in Connecticut in a town called East Windsor, about 30 miles away, whom once employed him as a cop, but that department was made aware of the comment and has not taken any action, saying only they are still “investigating.”

Meanwhile, police departments throughout the United States are arresting people for making alleged threats against officers online with little, if any, investigation.

Not surprisingly, the NYPD has been the most aggressive, arresting Jose Maldonado, Devon Coley and Yasin Shearin for allegedly making threats online.
