This is most likely a fabrication and not the true story.

It is true.  I heard Inhofe talk about it with my own two ears, all while his campaign manager got upset because he didn't think that was something he should be talking about, IE threatening to kill protesters.

Any time I have to listen to Inhofe my ears bleed.  Coburn just makes me laugh uncontrollably.

Let me see, across the street from City Hall is more city owned property.  No picketing there either.

Well sh!t, I guess they will have to picket from a block or two away.  Damn the luck!

Oh, but your city councilors have seen to it that picketing on city property is illegal:

Tulsa ordinances Title 27, Section 1702A.

Isn't that convenient, you can picket anything but the government.

How would that stand a constitutional test?

When the president of the FOP says that he doesn't think it's right to protest at the Mayor's house and the organizers don't believe they should even give out the address, then it sounds like a bad idea all around.

If the property is owned by the taxpayers under the charter of a city then a person can exercise all rights granted.  As long as such taxpayers are moving and cannot be considered loitering they are protect in many labor case decisions.  Exception; if such is within a gated community then it is private property and can be restricted.

As long as they don't block the street and create a safety hazard, it's within their rights to 'peacefully assemble'.  I wonder how long the 'peaceful' part will last.

That will be the media blocking the streets more than officers. I wonder if they'll drive their personal vehicles or their squad cars.
