CNNs Don Lemon Files Police Report After Getting Threats for Telling Trump to Please Stop
Don Lemon filed a police report in New York against a Twitter user who allegedly hurled racist slurs and threatened to harm the CNN anchor after he made an impassioned plea to Donald Trump, PEOPLE confirms.
Lemon, 51, filed an aggravated harassment report with the New York Police Department on Wednesday after the social media user allegedly sent hateful messages to his private inbox on the app, an NYPD spokesman tells PEOPLE.
“It was harassment and they also made a threat. The person said, ‘I will find you real soon.’ And called [Lemon] a f—— n-word,” the spokesman says. “It’s being investigated at this time.”
The spokesman says the alleged harassment occurred on Tuesday. TMZ first reported the news, citing police sources who said the Twitter user told Lemon “can’t wait to stab your neck.”

Too many folks on social media seem to think they're invisible and can say what they please - no matter how vile or threatening. It's time for that to stop, and I hope more people file complaints. Those who threaten need to understand they are damaging people's mental well-being, even if threats are not carried out.
It's ironic that right-wingers strut around and preach personal accountability, and yet pull off this crap. Let them be held accountable in court.
I sure as hell would not want the NYPD looking for me for anything!
