I'm against the posting of ANY kind of personal identification, especially in high profile and inflammatory cases like this one.

Because there's always the possibility that it will be wrong.

And with so many nuts in the world, there is always the possibility that some completely innocent person and/or his family could suffer greatly.

So, in light of this development, I would say to the people who were cheering when they thought that "The pig who shot Michael Brown was identified..."

I hope you're happy now.


Too bad this isn't a perfect world, as I would like to see those who perpetuate false information which could lead to tragedy charged with a crime.
