A D.C. police officer who worked as a motorcycle escort for White House officials and other dignitaries was moved to administrative duty Wednesday after he allegedly was overheard making threatening comments toward Michelle Obama, according to several police officials.

The police department’s Internal Affairs Division is investigating the alleged comments and notified the U.S. Secret Service Wednesday, said the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to give details of the investigation.

The motorman allegedly made the comments Wednesday morning as several officers from the Special Operations Division discussed threats against the Obamas. It was not immediately clear where the alleged conversation took place or exactly how many officers took part in the conversation.

During that conversation, the officials said, the officer allegedly said he would shoot the First Lady and then used his phone to retrieve a picture of the firearm he said he would use. It was not immediately clear what type of firearm was allegedly shown.

She's committed the crime of being the FLOTUS while black.

WTF? Some asshole says he's going to shoot the First Lady and it's not a legitimate danger? These nuts are going to try something one of these days and the enablers will be horrified and wonder how that happened.

He got administrative leave. Can you imagine? He threatened to kill our FLOTUS and got administrative leave.

It just boggles the mind. Turned in by his peers and he gets to sit at a desk...paid. Handcuffs and a cell sound reasonable.
