Death threats made against Vic police
Two young Melbourne police officers involved in a deadly shoot-out with a violent criminal have had death threats against them posted at a makeshift shrine to the dead gunman.
Samir Ograzden, 25, a drug dealer with a lengthy criminal history, was shot dead in Tuesday's gun battle after first firing his semi-automatic pistol at Senior Constable David McHenry and probationary constable Adam McKenzie.

Snr Const McHenry, 27, wa *** in the leg and later underwent surgery in hospital before being released on Thursday.
Const McKenzie was just 40 minutes into his first night shift when the drama began.
Friends mourning Ograzden are believed to be behind the threats scrawled on walls next to a makeshift memorial.
The written threats include "Die McHenry" and "Die McKenzie", while elsewhere Victoria Police are labelled "murderers".
The police force said it was aware of the graffiti death threats but had not received any formal complaints.
"Of course it is a bit concerning but in such an incident as this, there will be a fair bit of public outrage," spokesman Leigh Wadeson said. |

"We have not received any official complaints about the threats but I'd imagine the majority of the public would be on our side.
"It is important to remember the police members involved in the incident were fired upon first."
Ograzden's mother Bobby Cobani also spoke out in support of the two officers.
"I do feel sorry for the young guy, I do feel sorry for the boy who got shot ... I feel sorry for my son whose life ended like that," Ms Cobani said.
Ms Cobani said her son was a criminal but should not be remembered as just a criminal.
"I'm a mother whose son went bad," she told News Limited.
"I know my son did the wrong thing. I'm devastated.
"I've always known him as someone who'd do anything for anyone. I loved him to bits.
"He was a boy whose father had left the family soon after his son's birth, and who had missed a role model.
"He'd been widely liked and respected, but drifted into drugs while still at school.
"My son at 17, 18 was the most wonderful person and everyone loved him. I'm trying to reconcile what my son was and what he became." |

Simple answer: remove the "memorial" and scrub the graffiti off the walls.
The scum who wrote such threats should be arrested too. |
