BATON ROUGE - The FBI released a strongly-worded warning about threats to peoples' safety Friday evening.

In the memo - known as a 'Gold Code' - federal authorities warned Baton Rouge-area and Shreveport-area law enforcement agencies to "threats to law enforcement and potential threats to the safety of the general public." It goes on to report, the FBI New Orleans office has found multiple groups "calling for or planning riots and/or violence against law enforcement in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and Shreveport, Louisiana beginning Friday, 8 July 2016 and continuing through at least 10 July 2016."

The WBRZ Investigative Unit obtained the memo Friday shortly after 5 p.m. via a source. The memo was issued for threats related to the on-going aftermath of the shooting death of Alton Sterling in North Baton Rouge by Baton Rouge Police earlier in the week.

Earlier, local and state authorities met with the governor to discuss safety. The group met in a private meeting at State Police Headquarters in Baton Rouge.

This story will be updated. Check back for additional information.

What's fishy is that Mike Edmunson just said on radio today that he was not aware of any threats to the public. I wonder if this was after that statement though

Meh, we'll see. Better safe than sorry but I wouldn't be too concerned at this point.

Good Lord. That memo is as fake as one of those plastic dog turds. Do you really think the FBI is going to be uploading social media images onto a formal document for the public. Do you really think they are going to attach an FBI customer satisfaction survey? Come on folks

Their only intelligence appears to just be those inflammatory posts on Facebook calling for a purge of cops. I think that will work about as well as the boycotts that did not happen today.
