On Monday, Missouri's beleaguered Ferguson police department and St. Louis County's police department -- while in the midst of waiting for a grand jury to announce its decision on whether Darren Wilson, the local cop who shot and killed teenager Michael Brown, will be indicted -- must prepare for an additional problem: A group calling itself the RbG Black Rebels, led by a man known as Zulu Gaddafi, is threatening to take action should the grand jury fail to indict Officer Wilson including violence against the cop and his family.

"While Attorney General Eric Holder couldn't wait to jump in and stir up racial disharnony following the shooting, he remains noticibly silent about the radical groups threatening to breach the peace and cause both bodily harm and destruction of private property. And the news media's deafening silence on Black Panther wannabes threatening people stems from reporters sticking to their 'template' for interracial incidents," said former police detective George Silias.

According to messages the group posted on its Twitter account, the group said they plan to keep warm by igniting a fires, but they don't need firewood to burn. Gaddafi and his group also advised the protesters who plan to "take to the streets" when the grand jury's decision is announced that they should "pack sidearms." Also included on their Twitter messages is a link to a video on building bombs using household items, according to reports

The Black Rebels group claims it is offering a $5,000 reward for anyone with information on Wilson's whereabouts and $1,000 each "close family" member located since many of them are in hiding. The Black Rebels leader, Zulu Gaddafi, confirmed that those rewards are serious business and will be paid.

Some of the replies on the group's Twitter page include Shaun King, a contributor to the George Soros-supported leftist web site, The Daily Kos, saying: "100 days. 100 damn days. It took 60 seconds for Darren Wilson, now rich & free, to murder Mike Brown 100 days ago."

In an emailed statement, Gaddafi said, "We don't make any public threats. We believe that the public has the right to know when there's a killer cop [living] next door to them." But a St. Louis County police spokesman characterized the "tweets" as genuine threats that police are "taking seriously."

Gaddafi claims that his organization -- loosely based on the New Black Panther Party -- has about 50 local members. When asked by reporters what their reaction will be if Wilson is not indicted for his shooting of Brown, Gaddafi replied: "I'll leave that to your imagination."

Meanwhile, community activist Patricia Bynes alleges that another group, calling themselves the Lost Voices, made threats against her after she told the news media that the group's members recently assaulted a man at a meeting. “If protesters can’t police ourselves, if we can’t hold ourselves accountable, then how can we demand accountability from police?” she noted.
