Nancy Jester, who represents much of Dunwoody on the DeKalb County Commission, has released several screen shots containing threats that were made through various social media outlets.

As reported on Patch, Jester held a news conference earlier this week, saying that the DeKalb County Coalition for Justice and Police Accountability has threatened her sons on Twitter, made anti-Semitic comments on Facebook and said during a meeting last week that she would be dragged through the streets.

On Friday, Jester made the following statement on her Facebook page:

“Some members of the DeKalb County Coalition for Justice and Police Accountability (DCCJPA) are trying to deny and dismiss their threats, vulgar remarks, and anti-semantic smears they have posted on my social media pages. In order to provide clarity, I am posting the screen captures of some of these terrible statements here.

“The self-identified leader for the DCCJPA is Georgia State Professor Makunga Akinyela. I have forwarded his group’s threats and vulgar remarks to the DeKalb police. Based upon this data, law enforcement decided to put in place security protocols for me and my children.

“Georgia State University is a publicly funded institution. The leadership of GSU should disavow all threats and anti-Semitic remarks that have been directed to me and posted on my social media pages. Furthermore, GSU and Dr. Akinyela should apologize to the Jewish community for these remarks. Georgia State University and any serious intellectual should stand united against vulgarity, disrespect for public servants, threats and inappropriate remarks about children, and racist, anti-Semitic remarks.”

According to Reporter Newspapers, Jester recently met with the activist group. Akinyela said Jester showed no emotion when family members of those who were involved in police-related shootings described their losses.
