A story of tweets and death treats

The piece I've just read this time is "Why Women Aren't Welcome on the Internet" by Amanda Hess. Honestly, I was a bit turned off from this article as soon as the first page was over. Amanda, delivering an account of how she called 911 over some death threats on Twitter, describes an ignorant and fairly uncaring police officer that came to her house. This continues with Amanda describing the various police she's called as largely unmotivated and unmoved by her plight. As a supporter of those guys in blue uniforms, I didn't like this at all. Amanda summed up that first officer with three words he supposedly said: "What is Twitter?" In this day and age, I find it hard to believe 911 would send an officer who hasn't heard of social media to a call about online harassment on social media in the first place. As Amanda is a journalist, I'm led to believe she's embellished her story significantly, and so I can't put complete trust in the accuracy of the rest of the writing. I also don't think policing Twitter is part of an officer's job description; the Internet is international, and police departments are state-run. These sorts of things are best handled by national agencies such as the FBI, whom actually have the resources to help. The entire article itself seems to ultimately be made up of complaints that every agency involved in these cases of death threats and online harassment has done an inadequate job, according to Amanda. Honestly, there isn't anything about why women aren't allowed on the internet, the title of this article. It's all just about the harassment women receive online. Amanda doesn't offer any possible solutions either. If her article is all complaining and doesn't propose a possible solution to the problem, I'm not going to put much stock in it.
