MILWAUKEE (WTAQ) - Milwaukee Police and the state Justice Department are investigating threats made on Twitter against Governor Scott Walker after he won his recall election Tuesday night.

Milwaukee Police spokeswoman Anne Schwartz said officers are evaluating the threats, the details of which were not immediately released.

Schwartz said all threats can represent criminal acts – and people cannot assume they’ll be anonymous on social media when they threaten another person’s life or safety.

Walker said Wednesday morning he does not compromise his safety, but he won’t let threats stand in the way of mingling with Wisconsinites and doing his job.
