Any crime here?

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? KY

If someone shared/linked/posted a link to NWA's 'F*** tha police' on a police department facebook page - is there any crime in that? Threats, harassment, anything?

If multiple people did it, or if people did it again, after posts being deleted - is there any crime in that?

Being childish is not a crime.

Until it is done multiple times and becomes harassment.

Multiple times by an individual? or 100 people doing it once/twice?

Has "multiple" been defined legally?

Yes. It's when the irritated police officer picks you up for questioning as a suspect in the "enter made up charge here" and bounces your head off the roof of the cruiser three times because once isn't multiple. He then arrests you for resisting arrest because when you passed out, you fell away from him, and assault on a police officer because you skinned his knuckles when you smashed your nose on his fist repeatedly. After multiple weeks in the county jail because you can't post bond, the public defender manages to get the prosecutor drop the charges and you go home to find multiple strangers living in the house from which you were evicted while spending multiple weeks in jail.

Stop being an idiot. Leave the people paid to carry guns and knock heads alone.

Interesting response.

If hundreds of people, of all ages, in a community wish to inform the local police department of what the feelings towards them are, there are legitimate reasons.

Wasn't this an episode of Walking Dead?

Oh..it was?

How 'bout that.

Given new laws against cyberthreats and cyberstalking, and given the offensive and brutal lyrics of that piece of trash song, yeah, I'd say that the possibility of a crime might be present. However, given that it's against a public agency, it may not be actionable, but I suspect that it will serve only to put the cops more on edge and to react more assertively towards confrontations - particularly involving black men that front them off. If what you want is to exacerbate a problem that you perceive, then that mission may well be accomplished.

Or, maybe, you and your pals can grow up and act a little more mature. Just a thought.
