MCDONALD, Pa. (AP) -- A southwestern Pennsylvania man has been jailed on charges he posted Facebook comments encouraging people to ? police the same day a man fatally shot two New York City officers.

The (Washington) Observer-Reporter (http://bit.ly/1xsDnEL ) says Steven Drake Jr. was arrested Wednesday in McDonald. Police there were alerted to the Dec. 20 posts by officers in a nearby community.

Among the comments Drake allegedly posted were, "The police brought this on themselves! I say ? them all! Enough is enough."

The 29-year-old from Midway faces a preliminary hearing Jan. 6 on charges including terroristic threats and disorderly conduct. Online court records don't list an attorney for him.

Police say Drake acknowledged making the posts, which also referenced the recent police killings of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, and Eric Garner in New York City.

    Disorderly Conduct?

    What is "the correct Order"? Is there a rule book to the Internet or something.....

    anytime i hear about people getting arrested for FACEBOOK COMMENTS i get very uneasy and this is no exception

    bet they ain't arresting nobody for saying "exterminate all black people" tho.........

    North Fayette police received a tip with screenshots of Drake’s alleged postings, which have privacy settings that allow only his Facebook friends to see his comments

    so who snitched? lolsmh

    Investigators from McDonald and state police interviewed Drake at his home Tuesday morning, when he admitted to writing the posts, court records indicate. Drake allegedly told investigators he “often posts anti-government and anti-police rhetoric” on his social media pages.

    Police said Drake told investigators he was ? when he wrote the comments

    So you can't go on a drunken rant about the police without getting arrested. Good to know.

    Yeah, easy to see how close this country is to that Soviet Union ? where you get a decade of hard labor for making a joke about Stalin.
