In this task, you are given a public comment from online platforms. You are expected to classify the comment into two classes: threat and non-threat. Threat is a statement that someone will be hurt or harmed, especially if the person does not do something in particular.

Comment: IRT 64hoo.  Actually, the term should be Sub-Saharan African Americans.  Arabs are also from Africa, and the media is not referring to Arabs here.
Non-threat

Comment: Where's the "stupid" emoticon when you need it?
Non-threat

Comment: "A lot of people carry guns," he said. "It's just like if you got a credit card, you're going to spend with it. If you've got a gun, you're probably going to use it."

What an irresponsible, idiotic statement, especially considering the source.  The number of people who have a credit card and use it on a regular basis  is probably close to 100%.  Thank God that the number of people who carry a gun and use it to harm others is a miniscule fraction of 1%, not the majority of gun carriers inferred by the word "probably."

APD would do well to instruct its officers to avoid such inflammatory rhetoric.

Non-threat
