'Pray To Satan': Cobb Man Threatens Cops on Facebook

MARIETTA, GA — A Cobb County man is under arrest after authorities say he threatened to kill police officers on Facebook.

"If you are a police officer in Georgia, i (sic) suggest you pray to your god Satan that you don’t accidentally speak to me," read a post by Joshua James Bolieiro, 37, of Powder Springs, according to police in that city. "You will just have to roll the dice with ever(y) single traffic stop. Im (sic) aiming to kill ANY police officer that dares speak to me, with absolutely zero questions for you. You speak, you die. Its (sic) that simple. Go ahead and test me. see how far you get."

Powder Springs Police said they were alerted to the post by authorities in Manchester, New Hampshire. Bolieiro reportedly moved from New Hampshire to Cobb County several months ago.

He was arrested Monday and charged with making terroristic threats. According to police, Boliero came to the police department voluntarily, not knowing a judge had issued a warrant for his arrest.

By Tuesday morning, Bolieiro had removed the original post on his Facebook page, replacing it with a video in which he says he never intended to kill anyone.

"I'm not planning on killing anybody," he says in the video. "What I do plan on doing is exposing these child sex trafficking rings. I want to expose the police brutality. I want to expose all the evil stuff these police are doing. The bad police."

On his Facebook page, Bolieiro has posted several stories about widespread child sex-trafficking rings that have been debunked as hoaxes. He also posted in support of the conspiracy theory that the Earth is really flat.
