Original Discussion[1]

San Francisco police told Polygon that officers responded to Unity’s San Francisco office “regarding a threats incident.” A “reporting party” told police that “an employee made a threat towards his employer using social media.” The employee that made the threat works in an office outside of California, according to the police statement.

    Why would anyone be surprised?

    That Unity employee could have been put up to make those threats to smear the policy’s detractors for all we know.

      That’s an implausible take. Loyal employees wouldn’t go for such a ploy and disgruntled employees … well, conceivably would take such action on their on volition.

        True. They also could’ve just lied.

        I wonder if/when someone can FOIA the police records. I really want to know now
