Anonymous just released the personal details of 52 Cincinnati police officers in response to an officer-involved shooting on Wednesday.
The dox, which including the home address of Cincinnati Police Chief Eliot Isaac, was posted by an Anonymous in response to the death of Paul Gaston, a 37-year-old man fatally shot by police last week while carrying a realistic-looking pellet gun.
The personal details included names, ages, home addresses, email address, and LinkedIn accounts. Information about many of the officers’ relatives was also published, including their home addresses.
Anonymous also included a YouTube video. “When you murder a human being when you have other choices of containing your suspect available we will make your officers information public record,
We will not only release the officer who murdered the citizens information but we will release those that have stood by in the department that did not speak up. We have lost more lives to the Thin Blue Line than we have lost in the Afghanistan War.”
The officers’ details were pulled from the website Pastebin, but the information quickly spread to other sites.
Gaston, reportedly reached for the fake gun in his waistband. The tragic conclusion was captured in two bystanders videos later released by the Cincinnati police.
In the footage, Gaston is seen on his knees with his hands locked behind his head. When the police order him to lie flat on the ground, he appears to reach for his waistband. A moment before the officers open fire, one is heard calling out, “Don’t do it.”
One persons view on why the fatal shooting occurred:
If he had not been killed, Gaston would have faced arrest for violating his bond, Cincinnati officials said. He was awaiting trial in Hamilton County on multiple charges.
Do you think Anonymous went to far by putting 52 officers info out there like this?
