Ferguson Cop Tells Protester "Go F*ck Yourself" & Threatens To Kill Him

A suburban St. Louis police officer who threatened to kill media members as he pointed his high-powered rifle at a group of people filming Tuesday night’s protests in Ferguson, Mo., has been suspended after video of the incident went viral Wednesday.

The St. Ann, Mo. police officer, who told one man his name was “go f--- yourself,” has been “relieved of duty and suspended indefinitely” for his “inappropriate” actions, the St. Louis County Police Department said in a statement to Mashable.

The officer was later identified as Lt. Ray Albers, a 20-year veteran of the force, St. Ann Police Chief Aaron Jimenez told the St. Lous Post-Dispatch.
