CAPE CORAL, Fla.- The Cape Coral Police Department says it is investigating threats made against officers online.

A newly released video says police are guilty of police brutality, specifically calling into question the case of 21-year-old Travis Robey.

Robey took a plea to a felony charge of resisting an officer with violence following his arrest on June 29, 2014 when he fought with officers outside of a Cape Coral pool hall.

Demonstrators supporting Cape Coral police officers met alongside police critics protesting on Friday.

The critics claim video taken during Robey’s arrest caught the sounds of the 21-year-old getting beaten.

Since then, police say the Anonymous group has been posting threatening videos online and conducting a “doxing” attack against department personnel. Doxing is a when someone searches for and publishes private or identifying information about a particular person on the Internet.

According to officials, the group obtained this information as a result of intruding into city computer systems and the city website.

CCPD has been working closely with technology professionals to ensure the security of city networks and systems.
