Some local young man (now identified as Carlos Anthony Hollins, age 22, of Waldorf) on Twitter made a threat this afternoon to "Kill all the white PPL in the town of La Plata" His Twitter id is "_TRVPCOCAINE" and his tagline is "some black guy in avi"
So, someone alerted La Plata Police (several people indicate they did so right in the Twitter stream) and the LPPD issue the attached PR.
The gentleman says, via Twitter, that it was all a joke

In this tweet made at 7:41 pm, he posts a video of himself walking into an unidentified police station (now identified as a Charles County Sheriff's Office in Waldorf), saying he is turning himself in. Strangely, he hasn't posted since then, so maybe he is in lockup, or perhaps is going to swear off Twitter for a while.
He was probably just playing the fool, but, given the current environment and recent executions of police officers, local police would be foolish not to take it seriously.

THREATS MADE AGAINST THE CITIZENS OF LA PLATA
On September 2, 2015 at approximately 4:43 P.M., the La Plata Police Department was alerted to a threat of violence against La Plata residents that was made on social media. The agency is working with allied law enforcement agencies to establish the creditability [sic] of the threat and the identity of the individual. The tweet read, "IM NOT GONNA STAND FOR THIS NO. MORE. TONIGHT WE PURGE! KILL ALL THE WHITE PPL IN THE TOWN OF LA PLATA"
More information will be forthcoming. The Department has added extra officers to patrol in an effort to protect the public.
