The internet group Anonymous has taken on police that the group felt unfairly and unjustly killed unarmed black men. In Ferguson, the group doxed Police Chief John Belmar, releasing his personal information after the killing of Mike Brown when the chief refused to release the name of the officer who shot Brown.
Yesterday, the group announced a new target: officers in Cincinnati, Ohio, who shot Paul Gaston in the street for having an air soft pistol. Hours before, a similar scene occurred in Cincinnati where a white man pointed a fake pistol at police without being shot. The discrepancy captured Anonymous’s attention.
The Inquisitir wrote today that:
“Anonymous hackers released the personal information of 52 Cincinnati police officers as retaliation for the Paul Gaston fatal police shooting earlier this month. The “hacktivist” group deemed the shooting of a black man with an airsoft toy gun was murder. The hackers said that Paul Gaston never pointed the toy gun at police, but a white man with a similar replica gun did just that a day earlier, and lived.
The Anonymous Anon Verdict hackers posted the Cincinnati Police Department video to YouTube on Sunday. The personal information of the 52 Cincinnati police officers included details about everyone from entry-level patrolmen up to Police Chief Eliot Isaac.”
