That's an interesting point. We do have a coercion law:
http://alisondb.legislature.state.al.us/acas/CodeOfAlabama/1975/13A-6-25.htm
Section 13A-6-25
Criminal coercion.
(a) A person commits the crime of criminal coercion if, without legal authority, he threatens to confine, restrain or to cause physical injury to the threatened person or another, or to damage the property or reputation of the threatened person or another with intent thereby to induce the threatened person or another against his will to do an unlawful act or refrain from doing a lawful act.
(b) Criminal coercion is a Class A misdemeanor.
(Acts 1977, No. 607, p. 812, §2125.)
In light of the above email, I'd print the email, inclusive of the headers that show it originated from the city's email servers and go to the county DA or circuit judge and (try to) have the chief and DA brought up on charges.
