“Police in Massachusetts are pursuing criminal charges against a man for posting the words “put wings on pigs” on his Facebook page, a phrase similar to the one posted by a man who killed two officers in New York City last weekend.
The latest case showed heightened concerns among U.S. law enforcement after the execution-style ambush of the two policemen, and could raise free speech questions.
Police in Chicopee, about 90 miles (145 kilometers) west of Boston, said on Tuesday they filed a criminal complaint on Monday against Charles Dirosa, a 27-year-old resident, after an anonymous tip about the Facebook post, police spokesman Michael Will said.” *
